Today is the start of the #16DaysofActivism Against #GenderBasedViolence. I’ve proposed more reforms to the fed govt, such as creating a presumption of first-degree murder in certain intimate partner violence cases. This is a key ask from advocates ensuring survivors receive the justice they deserve

On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I stand with survivors & commit to building a justice system that protects them and holds offenders accountable. We will not stop until every woman feels safe. news.gov.bc.ca/33052

Yesterday was the 350th anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s sacrifice. This day reminds us the importance of upholding human rights & protecting religious freedoms, teachings inspiring me in my work every day.

Today, we shut down a Bill introduced by OneBC to recall Truth & Reconciliation Day - the words spoken were painful and rooted in denying the history of residential schools.
Enough is enough.
The only recall that needs to happen is a recall campaign of the OneBC MLAs.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the people lost to anti-trans violence and join in solidarity with trans, non-binary, Two-Spirit and gender-diverse people everywhere. Together, we reject hate and work for a future where everyone can live as who they are.

This is unacceptable! Vulnerable people being targeted & extorted over social media. This is exactly why we recently amended the Intimate Images Protection Act, to ensure that people, especially young people, can reach out for support & get justice when someone threatens to share an intimate image.

Proud to say that we are continuing our work towards disability justice by removing the spousal cap for couples where both partners are on PWD. As of December 1st, couples will receive the same disability benefit as two single individuals. This change will benefit thousands of households across BC.
Barriers removed for couples in B.C. receiving disability assistance
Starting Dec. 1, 2025, couples where both members receive disability assistance will receive the same support allowance as they would if they were two single people.

How exciting! With the opening of the new Indigenous law wing at the @uvic.ca students, facility, and community members can engage in dialogue around #Indigenous history and law, and expand their understanding of trauma-informed legal practice.
New Indigenous law wing supports learning Indigenous legal traditions
Students at the University of Victoria (UVic) law school now have a dedicated space to learn Indigenous laws and legal traditions with the opening of the new Indigenous law wing.

Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Appreciate getting to spend time with our team at the Burnaby DLO today! This space makes it easy for people to get new IDs & license renewals done, while also providing accessible services for those taking a driving test. Grateful for @theicbc.bsky.social’s work to keep everyone safe on our roads.

Unacceptable! X is fighting a BC order to remove a non-consensual intimate image, instead of doing the right thing & removing the image. These harmful images have no place online, anywhere, ever. We’re joining the case to defend BC’s laws & ensure survivors receive real protection, not half measures

Today, we honour generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who have served with courage.
From the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, Indigenous veterans shaped Canada’s military history—yet many returned to discrimination.

Three people tied to violent extortion have been removed from Canada. Offenders will be pursued, arrested, charged, and may be deported.
Thanks to CBSA, RCMP, CFSEU, & local police in the B.C. Extortion Task Force.
We won't stop until these criminals are brought to justice.
