On June 1, 2026, minimum wage in BC will go up to $18.25 an hour. BC’s minimum wage was once one of the lowest in the country and is now one of the highest.

These regular, gradual increases provide certainty for workers and predictability for businesses.

The BC Conservatives just voted for a bill to repeal BC's Human Rights Code .

Thankfully, the BC NDP voted down the bill 50-37. We will never back down in the fight against racism and to protect the rights and freedoms of all British Columbians ✊🏻

Budget 2026 builds on #taxfairness of the BC NDP. A working family of 4 pays $2,800 less tax today than under the BC Liberals while corporations and the top 1% contribute billions more. We increased credits for low income because we know the cost pressures they face. #bcpoli @bcndp.bsky.social

Together with educators, families and colleagues, we continue strengthening efforts to prevent bullying and discrimination. By fostering caring and respectful learning environments, where all students can be their authentic selves and thrive.

Proud to champion #PinkShirtDay today and every day as we stand united against bullying 💗.

I understand your job is to criticize and push for more action, but it's important to be factual. Using my comments out of context like this is simply inaccurate. I suspect we can both agree that a BC conservative budget would be devastating for working people. 5/5

Because of our tax changes, a working family of 4 pays $2,800 less tax today than under the BC Liberals while corporations and the top 1% contribute billions more. 4/5

In 2017 we cancelled BC Liberal tax breaks for people in the top tax bracket and corporations, then used that money to hire thousands of teachers and healthcare workers, and lower taxes for working people. 3/5

We’re increasing healthcare spending by $2.8 billion and K-12 education by $634 million over the next 3 years, while the BC conservatives have said they would cut them, and their track record is clear - I saw the harm first hand when the BC Liberals cut health care and education deeply. 2/5

Hi Emily, Diana Gibson here - I did not say that about this budget. I said it 10 years ago about Conservative governments in Alberta and Newfoundland that were privatizing healthcare and education, including privatizing adult basic education. 1/5

I’m encouraged to see that Bill C-14 has passed through the House of Commons recently. I’m looking forward to the Senate passing this Bill soon to make these changes law. This legislation will ensure offenders are held accountable & give us new tools to support victims & address public safety issues

Last week, he brought this powerful message to @uvic.ca with @picscanada.bsky.social & @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social — if we act now, we can leave a stronger legacy for future generations 🌎💚 #climateaction #sustainability #stewardship #YYJ #uvic

For decades, David Suzuki has reminded us just how important our relationship with the environment truly is. His lifelong commitment to climate action continues to inspire so many in our community, myself included.
