It's always inspiring to meet with young leaders!
 
I had the great honour meeting with the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres' Provincial Indigenous Youth Council. PIYC is made up of Indigenous youth from around the province that are actively involved in their local Friendship Centre.

MLA for Cowichan Valley, Debra Toporowski (Qwulti’stunaat) rose in the House today to speak against residential school denialism. Thank you for sharing your and your family's truth, and for your powerful words.

The Nisg̱a’a Treaty, the first modern treaty in BC, marked a turning point in our history, a renewed relationship focused on reconciliation and supporting an even better life for Nisg̱a’a people. It shows us what’s possible through perseverance, partnership, and respect.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2025 BC Reconciliation Awards!

These awards honour people and groups that are bringing communities together, breaking down barriers, and making a stronger province by leaning into reconciliation.

The steady rise of residential school denialism in B.C. is deeply concerning. It seeks to erase and distort the truth of residential schools and the lived experiences of survivors and their families, undermines reconciliation and hurts everyone, especially those who should be supported to heal.

Everyone wants to break the cycle of crime, jail, and reoffending. The Justice system should help people get better, and not get stuck in the system.

The Indigenous Diversion Centre in Prince George offers a culturally grounded alternative to the conventional justice system to do just that.

As Peter Milobar and Caroline Elliott enter the B.C. Conservative leadership race today, I’m calling on every candidate to be clear: residential school denial has no place in British Columbia. 🧵

Just another day of standing up against hate in the house.

Spreading hate and fear doesn’t belong in our legislature and it has no place in our province.

Sometimes our watersheds need a little extra help to stay healthy in the driest months. You can take steps year-round to help make sure drought doesn't become water scarcity in your community.

TIL there's a seaweed symposium, and I think that's pretty cool.

would really like it if media stopped referring to backlash as being “about tariffs” when it’s about “the president constantly saying canada shouldn’t exist”

like people were not going apeshit on our nation’s greatest hockey player because of his thoughts on economic trade policy

1/3🧵 We’re standing strong for BC because we’re not out of the woods yet, folks.

The 30 day tariff pause is a step forward, but the threat to our jobs & sovereignty isn’t over.

We’re using this time to bolster our economy, protect BC jobs & expand on opportunities. #bcpoli

Trump’s tariffs pose a serious threat to British Columbians. We will do everything it takes to protect people and businesses in our province. We will face down threats we face and by working together, we will build a stronger BC for everyone.

been in 46 countries the last 10 months and pretty much all of them have had to fight to gain or keep their sovereignty more than Canada has, and in precisely none of them i got the vibe that it was a fun intellectual exercise and a time for erudite panel discussions

why'd they name this app bluesky when Elders Scroll was right there

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

A white hand holds up a copy of Paul Tremblay's book, The Pallbearers Club.

Whenever I can't choose a book, I make my husband pick one randomly for me. The only parameter is that I can't have read it before.

It's a pretty good system and he normally grabs a good one! Here's hoping this one by @paultremblay.bsky.social is also one of those good ones!

Well. The sky does appear to be bluer over here.

I definitely recommend All's Well!
