Great to meet with Consul Generals from Japan, Korea and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations for a Roundtable on trade partnership. These markets are key strategic partners for B.C., with opportunities to deepen
collaboration in trade, investment & innovation.

As we start the long weekend, I am interested in finding a path forward at the bargaining table and I hope we can reach an agreement that is fair to BCGEU workers and fair to all British Columbians.

From forestry workers here in BC to small business owners in Washington State, Trump’s actions are hurting workers and families on both sides of the border. 

Thank you, Senator @murray.senate.gov, for joining me today in standing against these tariff threats.

We’re better when we work together.

BC and Manitoba are knocking down trade barriers so our goods can flow back and forth with ease, while ensuring our workers are protected.

Our government is focused on delivering real solutions for the priorities of British Columbians.

The contrast to the far-right antics of the Conservatives could not be more stark.

President Trump's loss is British Columbia's gain! A record number of US nurses are coming to work in BC since we've dropped the timelines for registration from 4 months down to 4 days.

🎬 The incredible work of BC film crews has made BC one of the most in-demand filming locations globally! In the face of an unjustified tariff on foreign films, the BC government stands firmly with the over 70,000 workers whose exceptional craft has put BC on the world stage 🎥. @spencerch.bsky.social

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV.

His first address was about peace, acceptance and love. It’s a powerful message of hope that I know will resonate around the world.
⛏️🗻 Great to meet with representatives from BC’s mining industry today at the @bclegislature.bsky.social. Mining is playing a vital role in growing our economy, creating good-paying jobs & providing the critical minerals we need for a sustainable future. @jagrupbrar.bsky.social
🎬🇨🇦 Now more than ever, BC must support our film sector. Film & TV production employs over 70,000 people across our province with good, family-supporting jobs. That’s why we are taking action to make this valuable industry more competitive! I am proud to stand in support of BC Film workers!
In uncertain economic times, we’re building a stronger BC. We have incredibly talented people employed at cutting edge local companies that are changing the world for the better. Our plan supports people working across BC’s tech sector from video games to mining & forestry. Tech moves us forward.
