I'm honoured to be sworn in as a Councillor in the Village of Warfield at our regional swearing in ceremony, alongside fellow councillors and mayor's from Fruitvale, Montrose, Trail, Warfield, and Rossland.
Looking forward to serving our community in the West Kootenays!

DRIPA needs to go. I stand by that as a First Nation and as a British Columbian.
I ran on economic prosperity for all British Columbia’s and this includes BC’s Indigenous people. DRIPA brought division, confusion and created separation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Repealing DRIPA will restore investment opportunities to BC, along with unity. I advocate for the interest of society as a whole, as defined by our courts.
Is the repeal of DRIPA an act of war? No.
As I write in @nationalpost, it's repeal also doesn't impact any constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights held across Canada.
But rhetoric can be damaging and should be downplayed, without dismissing underlying concerns.

It's time for a serious discussion about BC's land-use policies and governance, without threats of confrontation or accusations directed at those who disagree.
On @CKNW with @MikeSmythNews, PLUS Executive Director @WarrenMirko discussed the rhetoric surrounding DRIPA repeal, including recent comments describing it as an "act of war."
It's time to lower the temperature, respect constitutional rights, and allow for reasonable debate about how BC's public lands are governed.

A historic victory for the @Conservative_BC and plenty to be proud of in Kootenay–Monashee.
In just five weeks, our volunteers and supporters built and delivered an expansive campaign across a vast riding.
I'm grateful to everyone who worked alongside me and placed their trust in me. I'm proud of what we accomplished together and look forward to continuing my work for our area.
Congratulations to Steve Morissette on his re-election. I wish him continued success in serving our communities.

5 days.
Change is coming to British Columbia.
Vote for strong leadership in serious times.
Vote Conservative.

The Conservative Party of BC stands for a strong and united Canada. Always.
David Eby questioning my patriotism is shameful. Invoking soldiers we lost this weekend in an attempt to save his own job is beyond the pale.
This is a desperate distraction from his record.
While David Eby once again tries to divide British Columbians, we are focussed on uniting to get BC back on track.
As I campaign to become MLA for Kootenay–Monashee, I'm reminded of why I wrote this column last year in @BeatNorthern about the NDP government's failed promises to maintain infrastructure and the impact that has on rural access, revenue generation for the region, and so much more.
Transparency and accountability matters to me, especially around public land-use decisions, and is one of the reasons I decided to run.

Advance polls are open now. Find your nearest voting location and support bringing an end to this 9-year NDP government.

.@Dave_Eby asserts that parcels earmarked for First Nations are public, yet won't provide a list or map of their locations. He also failed to tell voters his cabinet committed to co-develop legislation with Indigenous leaders to enable these "land returns" (his govt's words).
Even local residents in Sechelt have still not been told which land has been transferred to shishalh FN under the $!04M agreement it signed with the BC govt in 2024.

Adam Pankratz: David Eby's addiction to giving away public land in secret

In the last 24 hours, secret documents revealed David Eby’s plan to end forestry tenures, a move that could leave BC taxpayers facing billions in lawsuits. None of it is in his budget or platform.
This is the same Premier who hid $4 billion in Massey tunnel overruns for six months.
What else is he hiding today?
A Conservative government will open the books.
Really appreciate the endorsement from @HelenaKonanz, Member of Parliament for Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay.
Glad to have her support as I work alongside @DonegalWilson and @Tracystclaire to win our ridings for the BC Conservatives!
This quoted post is unavailable.
It's been a busy week leading up to advance polls, which open Friday!
Special thanks to my campaign volunteers for their hard work in such a vast riding. And to our special guests for visiting in Castlegar - MPs @AaronGunn and @robmorrisonmp.
How many other secret deals has the NDP kept from British Columbians?
This must end.
🚨 “The B.C. NDP government has committed to hand over approx. 400 parcels of public Crown land to First Nations, while promising just days before the snap election that it would change the law to limit compensation to forest companies affected by the losses.”
As @RobShaw_BC explains, David Eby’s cabinet approved the plan in July, put stakeholders under NDAs 12 days before the early election call, then did not include ANY of the details for the public in its forestry plan they released on Wednesday. According to Shaw, documents show a re-elected gov is prepping legislation for spring 2027. ‼️
Remember the secret Sechelt deal the NDP signed before the last election and didn’t release until after votes were cast? They’re doing it all over again. And they’ll keep doing it for as long as they can get away with it.
