Holy 💩. So the BC Cons' position on infrastructure projects is that they would cancel projects that are already underway, starting with the Pattullo Bridge replacement (which is almost complete!!).

So basically: Cut everything. Cut bridges, transit, schools, hospitals, cancer centres. Ok. Noted.

Honoured to meet with @mosaicbc.bsky.social.

I heard directly from frontline staff & newcomers about the everyday challenges they face.

As an immigrant myself, these conversations deeply resonate & remind me why inclusive policy matters.

I appreciate the important work MOSAIC is doing.

We’ve always been good neighbours, but we know how to stand up against threats to our sovereignty, our economy and our jobs.
