Other provinces are doing more with fewer doctors, and the data in today’s report shows we can too.

Great analysis of the unique relationship between the BC Greens and BC NDP. A rare example of cooperative government! It may not make sensational headlines, but does deliver for British Columbians.

How it started:
The 2025 agreement between the BC Greens & the BC NDP includes $30 million to build housing like ‘The Village’ in Duncan.
These Villages provide wraparound services as well as shelter, reducing homelessness.

BC Greens interim leader Jeremy Valeriote, MLA for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, has issued the following statement on the government’s investment of $200 million into Cedar LNG

#bcpoli
Instead of continuing to funnel public money into LNG, the Province should invest in economic pathways that support long-term sustainability, public health, and community well-being.

Relieved to hear that all 3 workers are now safe on the surface, after days trapped in BC’s Red Chris mine. Thanks to all those who contributed to the rescue mission.

BC must hold the line on pipeline expansion and lead with bold climate action, says interim BC Greens leader
#bcpoli
bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-must-hold...
Amid record-breaking wildfires, drought, and climate instability, talks of a new oil pipeline in BC are completely out of step with today’s global environmental and economic realities.
#bcpoli
My thoughts are with these three miners and their families. Hoping for a speedy and successful rescue mission.

"The province is failing to meet its 2030 climate goals and we are not on track to hit our 40% emissions reduction target. British Columbians have an opportunity to help shape the process and insist on transparency and accountability on this issue,” said BC Greens interim leader Jeremy Valeriote.

My thoughts are with Minister Bowinn Ma, her family, and her constituency staff, after a serious incident at her office.
Everyone deserves to be safe at work, including all MLAs and constituency staff.
We want our very best to serve this province, and we must keep them safe while they serve.
The report is now out, released yesterday.
It’s time to address the systemic barriers that continue to cause harm to survivors of gender-based violence, and implement the report’s 21 recommendations.

In April, BC Green MLA @robbotterell.bsky.social asked the gov to create a province-wide sexual assault policy.
AG Niki Sharma said she’d commissioned an independent review and promised to take action on the report’s findings.

These deaths are preventable and the BC Greens are continuing to call on the government to provide urgent, coordinated action, including:
- A regulated alternative to the toxic drug supply
- Supervised consumption services that are accessible, low-barrier, and responsive to people’s needs
This report underscores the widening gaps in care, housing, and access to life-saving services. The ongoing loss of life is not inevitable—it’s a consequence of political choices.

Last week the BC NDP granted the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) fracked gas pipeline its request for a substantial start decision.
This is a betrayal of environmental stewardship, Indigenous rights, and a threat to sustained climate action in this province.
