With decades of forestry experience, I appreciated Gary Merkel taking the time to meet with me. His insights on the value of our forests and the need to build a regenerative, healthy ecosystem for the sector were invaluable.

Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social is in Toronto today, bringing the interests of British Columbians to the table of Premiers at the Council of Federation mtg. With the insight of BC business and labour leaders, Eby will fight for BC’s economic interests in the face of Trump’s tariff threat.

It’s been a tough few weeks, but the work doesn’t stop.

After a meaningful weekend honouring my friend, it’s time to roll up my sleeves and get back to work for the people of Langford-Highlands and all British Columbians.

Let’s get some sh#t done.

Opinion: The economic implications of wildfire in B.C. are wide reaching Government must make smart investments to manage wildfire β€” affordable cost of living is touched by the wildfire reality we now face

The economy/affordability is another reason why wildfire resilience should be top of mind for the 91 recently elected BC MLAs.

Great choice of Jim Rutkowski as Premier David Eby’s chief-of-staff. Brings a wealth of experience in leader’s offices in BC and Alberta. I served with him when he was Carole James’s COS back around 2009. He’s got a good approach and is a consensus builder.
Congrats Jim!
