Such an honour to be in Skidegate to witness the signing of the Chiix̲uujin / Chaaw K̲aawgaa “Big Tide (Low Water)” Haida Title Lands Agreement.
A huge milestone in the journey toward reconciliation between Canada and the Haida.
Congrats to the generations of leaders whose work led to this. Haawa!

Trump’s tariffs on Canadian aluminum are unfair and unproductive. We’re pushing the government to counter with targeted tariffs on US products and find new markets for Canadian aluminum. We’ll do everything we can to support the 1,500 workers at the Kitimat smelter.

Merci à l’AFFNO de m’avoir invité à ses festivités de la Cabane à Sucre à Prince Rupert. Cet organisme joue un rôle important dans la promotion de la langue et de la culture françaises dans notre région. De plus, la nourriture y est délicieuse!

Both Nordic and alpine skiing facilities in our region are having to adapt to warmer winters with less snow and more rain. It’s great to see the Shames team has a plan to adapt and grow, something I hope the federal government can support.

It was interesting to learn about their climate resilience work at Shames. Due to efforts last season, the mountain was able to open a full month earlier than usual, despite a lower-than-normal snowpack.

I get to meet with stakeholders in some unique “board rooms” — from riverbanks and underground mines to fire halls and fishing boats. Thursday, I got to meet with Gary and Christian from Shames Mountain. They assured me the most productive meetings are held on the chairlift. Agreed!

It was an honour to be invited to Metlakatla for today’s Community Safety Forum and spend a few hours visiting folks in the community. Thanks for a warm welcome on a cold, rainy north coast day.

Great film night fundraiser in Smithers for the Mountain Mentors program, which helps connect Indigenous youth with the land through skiing and snowboarding. Thanks to Kayla, Simbayez, Chelsie, Madeline, Abigail, Roberta and Raeden!

Amidst a chaotic day in Ottawa, this appeared on page 248 of the federal government’s Fall Economic Statement. Work remains to make it a reality, but an official federal commitment is a big milestone in our efforts to secure fairness for Haida Gwaii. Congrats to all who worked to reach this point.

Faced with airlines charging passengers junk fees for basic services like carry-on luggage, the Liberals plan to once again politely ask the CEOs to change their ways.
If only someone had the power to regulate airlines on behalf of Canadians…

Our plan takes the GST off home heating, phone and internet bills, kids’ clothes and more.
We’d make it permanent, too, meaning more savings for families.
(And small biz would only have to change their prices once)
Monday’s the vote.

I’m still pushing the government to restore the full Northern Residents Tax Deduction for the residents of Haida Gwaii.
With the cost of living higher than ever and the government’s Fall Economic Statement coming in just days, it’s time for this change.

Deeply disturbing rhetoric. The mayors and councillors I’ve worked with are the most dedicated, community minded folks you’ll meet. Disparaging them for cheap political points does our country a disservice.

I was honoured to be in Gitwinksihlkw last night to attend the memorial of Sim’oogit Hay’maas, Chester Moore. Chester was an artist, a composer of songs, and a force behind the annual Hobiyee celebration, among many other things. He was “a giant of Nisga’a culture.” May his memory be a blessing.

Yet another story involving the airlines’ mistreatment of passengers with disabilities. Yet another day that goes by without the government acting to protect their safety, dignity and human rights.

Honoured to hold down the fort with this crew, debating until midnight the potentially devastating impacts of Trump’s promised 25% tariffs on Canadian exports.

Canadian families are getting gouged on essentials while big corporations are posting record profits.
We have a plan to take the GST off heating, phone/internet and kids’ clothes and pay for it by taxing excess profits.
(In 2020, the PBO found such a tax would bring in $7.9 billion/yr)
