While John and I disagreed strongly on many things, I have great respect for his commitment to public service and for speaking his mind. I wish him and his wife Kim all the best.

Hong Kong fire death toll rises to 128 as officials say fire alarms not working properly Officials are yet to determine the cause of the blaze that ripped through a high-rise residential complex on Wednesday.

My heart goes out to all those affected by the horrific fire in Hong Kong.

To the families here in BC waiting for news or mourning loved ones, we stand with you.

Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home.

Our government stands united with the federal government and the Anti-Extortion task force to find these criminals, arrest them, and ensure that they face justice.

Canadians need their governments focused on real projects, not a fantasy pipeline with no investors.

BC has billions of dollars in privately led projects that are going to create thousands of jobs and bring prosperity to Canada. We cannot put them at risk.

People across BC deserve an affordable place to call home. While the Conservatives want to reverse the progress we’ve made by putting real estate speculators first, we’re focused on making housing more accessible for families.

Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones.

As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.

Reconciliation strengthens BC’s economy and our communities.

We reject racist, anti-indigenous rhetoric — and we’ll continue working in true partnership with First Nations to deliver jobs, certainty and prosperity for all British Columbians.

Cracking down on extortion threats is a big priority for our government. Today I heard directly from business owners on their experiences dealing with this threat.

BC’s Extortion Task Force continues to make progress on these investigations. No one should feel unsafe in their home.

British Columbians know our coast and the opportunities it can unlock better than anybody else.  

We need to be at table to protect our coast, unlock prosperity and ensure a bright future for all Canadians.

Korean Canadians have enriched the fabric of our society in countless ways. It was great celebrating Korean Heritage Month in the Legislature yesterday.

Three years ago today, I was sworn in as the Premier of this beautiful province. We have important work ahead, and we’ve already achieved so much, causing Canada to Look West for jobs and prosperity. Let’s get big things done!

Look West is our plan to secure hundreds of billions of dollars in investments, make sure British Columbians are first in line for jobs and drive success in key industries.

Every British Columbian deserves the opportunity to succeed.

That’s why we’re making the largest investment in trades training. Providing $241 million over three years, we’re going to train the next generation of skilled tradespeople in BC to get big things done.

When presented with great challenges, British Columbians meet the moment. This is one of those moments. It’s great to see Ottawa recognize that.

BC is ready to drive Canada’s economy forward. Let’s get it done.

This is how we withstand tariff attacks and chaotic trade relationships to stand on our own two feet.

The Ksi Lisims project and North Coast Transmission line will power our future, help reduce global emissions and sustain the services our communities and people rely on.

Once again, Ottawa’s showing confidence in BC as a place that can get big things done.

With two more multi-billion-dollar energy projects in Northwest BC identified by the federal government as major projects, we’re leading Canada’s new economy and creating family-supporting jobs across BC.

Today marks one year since we lost our friend, John Horgan.

Over the past year, we’ve been able to honour his legacy with the opening of the John Horgan Campus in his beloved community of Langford. It’s a reminder of a lifetime devoted to public service and building a better BC and Canada.

Today, we honour the fallen and reflect on the cost of war.

We salute the bravery of those who served and the sacrifices of their families.

As we remember, we also honour those who continue to serve today, preserving peace and security.

Lest we forget.

Surrey is one of the fastest growing cities in the province, and this new state-of-the-art facility is part of our government’s work to build BC and ensure every community has the infrastructure it needs to thrive.

Your reporting has been an important fixture in BC politics, Richard. British Columbians will miss you on their TVs, and we’ll miss you in the legislature. Thank you for your contributions to our province and best wishes in your new gig, which is surely curling related.

It’s been 10 years of the First Nations Leadership Gathering — and this year’s was the largest yet.

This week, more than 1200 meetings took place between First Nations from across BC and the provincial government. It’s an opportunity to listen, learn and find ways to make a meaningful difference.

Our Economy, Our Coast

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.

ਅੱਜ, ਸਿੱਖ ਭਾਈਚਾਰੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਦੇ ਬਾਨੀ, ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੇ 556ਵੇਂ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਪੁਰਬ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰਪੁਰਬ ਵਜੋਂ ਮਨਾਉਣਗੇ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਮਾਨਤਾ ਦਾ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਅਤੇ ਦੂਜਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਨਿਰਸਵਾਰਥ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ, ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਹਰ ਧਰਮ ਅਤੇ ਪਿਛੋਕੜ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਗੁਰਪੁਰਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ-ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ!

Today, Sikh communities will be celebrating Gurpurab – the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith.

His message of equality and selfless service of others continue to inspire people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Happy Gurpurab!

Our country is facing an existential moment.

The only path forward for Canada — and British Columbia — is in true partnership with First Nations. Full stop.

Unfair tariffs imposed on the softwood lumber sector threaten thousands of jobs in BC.

We’re working with the federal government to expedite supports for the sector.

Together, we’re going to protect BC workers as we become the engine of Canada’s economy.

It’s the spookiest time of the year! Whether you're out trick-or-treating like my family, going out to a party, or staying in to cheer on the Jays, I hope everyone has a fun and safe night. Happy Halloween!
