@sproudfoot.bsky.social the NDP during Covid negotiated Pharmacare, $10/day childcare, dental plan & anti scab legislation, 10 days sick leave for Fed regulated workers, so your comment on "working people" issues not capitalized on, is a bit off the mark.
Beautiful! Adding training capacity for physicians in our country! Now, we need to mobilize a national credentialing program to ensure that we’re able to offer easy pathways to employment in Canada for all the phenomenal graduates. #CanadianMedicalAssociation#MedicalCouncilofCanada
Applications are now open for SFU's new medical school in #Surrey! It’s the first in western Canada in almost 60 years — and it’s focused on training family doctors for B.C. SFU has also secured a permanent location for the new state of the art medical school in Surrey

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for our community and the young volunteers who canvassed with me to check in with our neighbours. We heard many struggles. I’m committed to fighting for a fair and just Canada where no one is left behind. Join us.
Today, I introduced the Sexual Violence Policy Act, strengthening how B.C.’s public post-secondary institutions prevent and respond to sexual violence.
We’re taking action to build safer campuses where everyone feels supported and protected.
Today in QP, I pressed the govt to honour its word: no province or Indigenous group will be forced into unwanted energy projects. Coastal First Nations have been clear—no pipelines or oil tankers in these ecologically sensitive waters.. #ProtectOurCoast#cdnpoli#IndigenousRights
Council last night voted to submit a letter of opposition to the dam owner's application to export the power generated to the US for 30 yrs. Learn more and add your voice *before Sept 25* keepourpowerlocal.ca.
Note this is not a City campaign, but it's aligned with the motion passed last night.
World Patient Safety Day - Today I'd like to honour those that are dedicated to providing culturally safe spaces to patients. Those providers that take the extra time, offer person-centered approaches, and seek collaboration for comprehensive whole-person care - gilakas'la for your dedication!
NDP MP Jenny Kwan introduced the No More Loopholes Act to end Canadian-based weapon manufacturers selling weapon parts to Israel via the US. Go to cjpme.org/nomoreloopholesact to send an email to your local MP demanding them to support this bill & stop our participation in Genocide.
Whirlwind of a weekend - as I reflect on what ‘labour’ means, as a movement, as a community, as a passion, I am forever grateful for the dedication and fight that our Labourers have, to not only defend their rights but establish new policies that strive for fair wages, equal rights and respect.
Do you know somebody in North Island-Powell River who isn’t going to vote? Voting is the most fundamental and important act for any citizen in a democracy. Don’t let your friends, family or neighbours squander this vital right. Help them get out and vote tomorrow.
I'm echoing our Leader's sentiments this morning. I am horrified to learn of an incident at Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day celebrations that has injured and killed innocent people.
Hate has no home in Canada. Let's work together to heal each other.
The Discovery Islands Chamber of Commerce debate on Thursday was a great success. This campaign has been a job interview. Who would you hire? The person who showed up, or the person who blew it off to go hang out at their rich friend’s $4M gated estate?
As Canada’s housing minister, Pierre Poilievre built only six homes. He let 800,000 affordable homes be sold off to corporate developers. Poilievre’s housing plan is custom built for his corporate donors, not for you.
1.1M voters have already voted in B.C. out of about 3.7M. That’s almost 30% and a record. High turnout elections are usually considered change elections, but that doesn’t apply this time, especially in #NIPR.
