Congratulations to Jennifer Whiteside on being named Interim Leader of the BC NDP.
I sat across the floor from her for a long time and she is a serious person who works hard for the people she represents.
A good opposition makes for a better government, and I expect her to hold us to account while we get to work delivering what we promised British Columbians.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admirationย for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Une lettre ne remplace pas une prรฉsence ร la table. Le premier ministre dit vouloir rencontrer les dirigeants europรฉens, mais refuse de participer au sommet CanadaโUE qui se tient chez nous.
La diplomatie exige de bรขtir des relations et de saisir les occasions de dรฉfendre nos intรฉrรชts. Pas de bouder parce quโon nโa pas de micro.
Nos partenaires seront ร table.
Le premier ministre du Quรฉbec, lui, laissera sa chaise vide.
Je le rรฉpรจte : รชtre absent, cโest รชtre perdant.
Quel manque de leadership.

Major infrastructure. More homes. Better health care. Safer communities. Better preparation for emergencies.
Building a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Canada for all.

Congratulations premier-elect @LDoerkson and the @Conservative_BC party on forming a majority government.
As the premier-elect referenced election night, mining is part of the trailblazing spirit of British Columbia. Mining helped build our province and has been a cornerstone of our economy for over 150 years. Today, with the critical minerals, precious metals and steelmaking coal our allies need, we can lead again, ready to drive a new wave of economic growth and prosperity in British Columbia through responsible resource development. #bcpoli #cdnpoli
The Mining Association of BC congratulates premier-elect @LDoerkson and @Conservative_BC on forming a majority government.
We extend our thanks to every candidate who ran and to those departing the BC Legislature for their service to our province.
BCโs incoming provincial government has the opportunity to unlock the full potential of British Columbia's mineral resources and create more economic activity, investment, government revenue, and family-supporting jobs and paycheques in communities across the province.
We look forward to working with the new BC Conservative government to make mining the growth engine it can be, advance responsible resource development, and deliver the critical minerals, precious metals and steelmaking coal the world needs while securing BCโs economic future and long-term prosperity.
With the right policies, mining can help build a stronger BC within a stronger Canada.

Running a winning campaign is hard enough. @katy_merrifield was named BC Conservative campaign manager the day the writ dropped, with a new leader and a party still finding its footing.
Most campaign managers have to fly the plane. Katy had to build it while flying it.
And still won.
An extraordinary achievement.

Obama: "Canada, that historical adversary of ours. It's your neighbour. It's a few minutes drive over the bridge. They are the nicest people. And somehow we've gotten them so mad because they're just constantly being abused and talked about. Talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state."

Politics is a brutal sport.
Good people lose, we saw that last weekend in municipal elections.
Good, well-intentioned ppl will lose on saturday. Staff will lose jobs, itโs a high risk game.
On the flip side, some great people will win.
Win, lose or draw. Be nice #bcpoli

Damn, Carney is a generational PM. Can't execute better with the cards he was dealt than this.
We're very lucky to have him right now.

Smaller countries need to prepare for a dangerous world. They should look to Canada (and its prime minister) for an answer on what to do bit.ly/4zwKfVg

You don't protect a culture through fear and punishment. You protect it by showing it off.
The food. The music. The people. The entrepreneurial spirit. A little French oasis in the middle of an English continent, with the highest joie de vivre anywhere.
That's Quebec. Come see it.
