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.

This week also marks two years since the war in Gaza began. A war that has taken tens of thousands of civilian lives. We mourn every innocent victim.

We stand with the international community: Calling for an immediate ceasefire. Calling for the release of all hostages.

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.

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.

As the sun sets tonight, Jewish communities will observe Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

It’s a solemn day of reflection observed through fasting, prayer and seeking forgiveness.

To all who observe this sacred day, Tzom kal and a G’Mar Chatimah Tovah.
