Protecting students is non-negotiable. Every child deserves a classroom where they are #safe, #respected & #welcomed, & we will fight for that every day.
Rustad’s handpicked candidates who are now in #OneBC continue to spread fear & division, putting vulnerable students at risk.

BC Gov was the first to announce that we’d appeal the decision of Cowichan Tribes v. AG Canada et al. We strongly disagree with the court’s treatment of private property, but even as this case continues, we know lasting solutions are found through dialogue & collaboration with First Nations partners
Small businesses are the backbone of BC's economy.
They're driving innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening our communities.
This week, visit a local business and support the neighborhood cafés, bookstores and service providers who help BC thrive.

Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing:
BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors.
AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company.
That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.
Big news for B.C. families 💙
Today, I introduced legislation that will make it easier for school districts to offer #ChildCareOnSchoolGrounds — so parents can find quality care in the same safe, familiar places where their kids learn & grow.

BC’s growth is Canada’s growth. A TeamCanada approach means we can defend Canadian steel producers while ensuring BC has access to fairly priced steel, so we can build our infrastructure, grow the economy, and continue supporting steel workers in B.C.

Heading to Kamloops this morning to celebrate the expansion of the Highland Valley Copper mine.
This is a project of national significance that is going to provide thousands of well-paying jobs for British Columbians as our province becomes the economic engine of Canada.
Surrey is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada. That’s why we’re building more infrastructure south of the Fraser, faster.
People in Surrey will get better access to the services they need, while providing more jobs for British Columbians during construction.
Welcome to BC, Anglo Teck! Let’s get to work.
Welcome back!
