Boom roasted!

Four years ago, I stood right here and called on the Liberal government to use federal land to build affordable homes.

Pierre Poilievre wants to sell off our land so rich developers can get richer by driving up prices.

My government will use our public land to build 100,000 rent-controlled homes.

the best place in the city, on the seawall past the lions gate bridge, when the full ocean opens up and the pavement bends out of view

a world of possibilities, just waiting to be explored

Does USA now become the 11th province?

With all USAID funds frozen now, we are worried about our partners who are now scrambling to keep their doors open, pay for supplies and keep their staff – instead of providing life-saving programs to the 3.8 billion people living under the poverty line.

Oxfam is deeply saddened by the death of 2 colleagues in #SouthSudan, killed in an armed robbery in Moto, Jonglei State. We offer our deepest condolences to the familles of Gatdet Nhial Jock and Manyal Gatjek Kueth and to their colleagues at Oxfam in South Sudan and members of the local community. ⬇

I want to thank Sooke council for passing a staff recommendation to allow Small Scale multi housing. This will open up new housing opportunities for young families and create opportunities for others to downsize and stay in the community they love.🙏🏾 sooke.civicweb.net/filepro/docu...

NEW - John Rustad has kicked off first QP as official opposition leader with question about diversion and ‘safe supply’. Rustad says government has been misleading government on diversion. #bcpoli

I first ran for city council because things needed to be done differently at City Hall. Regardless of the issue, I wanted to make sure that voices from all corners of our city are lifted up and included — not silenced and marginalized.🧵

NEW - Due to financial constraints and threats of tariffs all hiring in the B.C. Public Service is currently paused, including openings in the process of hiring. All future and current hiring requires approval from the head of the public service, Shannon Salter. #bcpoli

NEW - Premier David Eby has just wrapped up meeting with senior President Donald Trump staff members Sergio Gor and James Blair in the White House. #bcpoli

The fact that most Americans probably don’t care that USAID is being destroyed doesn’t make it right. It shows that we have a lot of work to do to become the kind of country that cares about that.

This morning, I met with premiers & the prime minister and once again, I raised the need to break down trade barriers within Canada. 

The challenge posed by the tariff threat is also an opportunity to focus on growing our economy here at home.

Today, I spoke at the Truck Loggers Association Convention in Vancouver.

Through it all, the questions and remarks, we left with one clear sentiment:

For the future of our industry, the only way forward is together. And there’s no time to waste. So let’s get down to work.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

I don't understand why people are so surprised Jagmeet Singh won't send Canadians to the polls right now.

Like, obviously the Conservatives are much more ideologically distant from the NDP than the Liberals, and the Conservatives would likely win an election right now.

Why would he want that?

Dan was a really inspiring and lovely person. This is a big loss in so many ways.

British Columbia has lost an incredible advocate and a fighter for justice in the passing of Dan Coulter. We will keep Dan and his family in our hearts and remember him in the work that we do.
