Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing:

BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors.

AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company.

That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.

For too long, vape & e-cigarette manufacturers have used deceptive marketing to maximize profits at the expense of people’s health. Today’s announcement on our first-of-its-kind legislation will make it possible for us to take legal action against bad-faith actors to recover public health costs.

BC has billions in shovel-ready projects ready to go.

Instead of real jobs for our province, the BC Conservatives are standing up for themselves, infighting and Alberta politics.

We’ll continue to ignore the noise and deliver for this province and country.

Proud to stand with those defending equality and reproductive rights.

Every person deserves the freedom to make their own choices about their body, their family, and their future, free from political or religious interference.

We can’t go backward. Not now, not ever.

We've fought long and hard for women's rights and the right to choose.

We must continue to fight back against organizations like ARPA that align themselves with policies against same-sex marriage and the right to have an abortion.

BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada.

We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs.

Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things.

After years of devastating crop losses caused by extreme weather, this season’s record-breaking cherry harvest is a hard-earned win for BC tree fruit farmers. Let's keep supporting growers in our communities as they recover and adapt to protect future harvests.

As British Columbians we love our coast and will always protect it.

The North Coast Tanker Ban also secures billions in shovel-ready projects.

We won’t let this proposal, with no backer and no money, threaten real jobs for BC’s families.

Our government will continue to work to address the colonial systems still in place that harm Indigenous Peoples.

Side-by-side photos of Premier David Eby and MLA Harwinder Sandhu wearing bright orange shirts designed by Okanagan Indian Band artist Faith Yow. The shirts feature two hands of different skin tones clasped together inside a circle, surrounded by teachings of the Four Food Chiefs: a bear, a berry cluster, corn, and salmon, along with a pink flower. The gradient orange background emphasizes the theme of Orange Shirt Day and reconciliation.

BC's got game! There are over 140 video game companies in BC, and our video games industry directly employs more than 14,000 people. Increased tax credits and new grants for emerging studios are levelling up our tech sector.
 
What would you add to this list?

My message at NYC Climate Week: Look to BC!

Our clean energy means we can produce the lowest carbon energy products anywhere in the world.

While clean tech is chased out of other places, they are welcomed in BC.

We are ready to do this work while bringing prosperity to BC and Canada.
