Eight years ago this happened! A historic, humbling, optimistic and joyful occasion. John Horgan was sworn in as the first BCNDP premier in 16 years. I was honoured to be appointed BC’s and Canada’s first Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.

Medicare. Dental care. Pharmacare. Child care. Climate action. It’s more important than ever to elect New Democrats to Parliament - to fight for the kind of Canada we want to build. And, very importantly, in a whole lot of ridings, it’s the NDP that has the best chance of defeating Conservatives.

A must read about Pierre Poilievre’s continuing attacks on the media - and why he should thank journalists instead - by my good friend, writer and producer Julian Sher.

Excited to see my dear friend Jennifer Whiteside, MLA for New Westminster, appointed Minister of Labour in the B.C. NDP government. Working people across BC can count on Jennifer to stand up for them!

What a thrill to be in Victoria today for the swearing-in of David Eby’s incredible new Cabinet, one that truly reflects the diversity of our province - including 17 women out of 27 Ministers!!!
