Today is Child and Youth Mental Health Day, recognized in BC as a day to raise awareness about youth and child mental wellness, mental health challenges, and the
importance of early intervention and support. @amnashahbc.bsky.social
Pierre Poilievre took a 30-point lead and squandered it to the point of not forming government and losing his own seat.
A categorical rejection of his American-style rhetoric and approach.
This is a good day for democracy and our Country.
If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?
We are elbows up when it comes to dealing with the Tariffs being imposed by the American President.
I could not be prouder to be Canadian than today as I stand in front of our Flag proudly and prominently flying over the @BCLegislature. We will never be the 51st state and will always be the True North Strong & Free. #bcpoli
We didn’t ask for this fight, but we’re not going to shrink from it.
This threat to our sovereignty has brought out a sense of pride and solidarity amongst all Canadians. Together, we're going to fight and we’re going to win.

Please be prepared for any aftershocks and follow emergency alerts.
More British Columbians than ever are choosing to buy BC, so we are helping more people be able to choose those products.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s directives in response to allegations of massive alleged corruption within the province’s health-care procurement system fall far short of what is needed to ensure transparency and accountability, experts say. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports.
NEW - British Columbia will be pausing tariff retaliation as the province awaits decision from the United States. Premier David Eby says retaliation preparations will continue. #bcpoli
NEW - A Research Co. survey finds 63% of Canadians say they will avoid purchasing goods originated from the United States, if a non-American alternative is available. #bcpoli
BC Liquor Distribution Branch and BC Liquor stores have stopped all sales of Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam, Bulleit Bourbon, Tito’s Vodka, and Bacardi Rum, except select domestically produced Bacardi. In addition to those brands, LDB will no longer purchase American-made liquor products from “red” states.
If America thinks tariffs will crush the resolve of Canadians – they’re wrong.
We will not roll over.
BC is stepping up to do our part by:
❌ Pulling US liquor off shelves
❌ Excluding US products from government purchases
It is now obvious (if it wasn’t before) Trump’s tariffs have little to do with fentanyl and the borders and a lot to do with America wanting to exert economic dominance over a country with a smaller economy. #bcpoli
A president waging economic and information warfare on the closest US allies. It would have been science fiction a decade ago. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
Trump to Hit Canada, Mexico With 25% Tariffs on Saturday

With the threat of unjustified US tariffs potentially days away, BC is standing strong.
I’m hearing from many people and businesses that fighting these tariffs is what they want us to do.
We are doing everything it takes to protect BC families.
i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
35 years ago today. Remember them.
I am deeply saddened by the news that Grace has been diagnosed with cancer. She is an inspiration to me and to people right across BC. I know that her family, Rob, Eve and Asher will be wrapping her with love during this time.
We are all sending her strength and love during this time.
NEW - BC Minister of Children and Family Development Grace Lore has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. She is temporarily stepping away as minister to look after her health. She intends to participate in important votes in the House, to ensure government stability. #bcpoli
Friends, some personal news I would like to share with you. #bcpoli #yyj
Ownership matters:
X - Elon Musk
Threads - Mark Zuckerberg
Truth Social - Trump
Bluesky - employee-owned
Bluesky is also a Public Benefit Corporation, and it's built on an open framework, meaning you can keep your followers if you move on.
Sounds different. Refreshing.
And just like that I’ve deactivated that other account. It took a couple weeks to fully migrate over. Can’t believe how good that felt today. 😊
#bcpoli
Trump’s unjustified tariffs threaten workers and businesses across Canada.
Today I spoke with Premiers and the Prime Minister about the need for strong response.
I also spoke to BC business and labour leaders who are united in protecting our amazing province.
If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.
