In the days since I announced I am not running again in the upcoming provincial election; I've had some time to reflect on my time as MLA for North Coast. Sharing my thoughts, with love and gratitude to my North Coast communities and constituents. @bcndp

@JenniferRice6 speaks to the rural EDA caucus motion. Create a rural lens and improve funding for rural areas. Kamal Grewal: It's time to shift perspective. We can win these ridings if we strengthen the party from the grass roots up. #BCNDPConvention2025

If you're hit with a diagnosis like cancer, the last thing you should need to worry about is your job. That's why we've introduced legislation that will provide workers facing serious illness or injury with up to 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave. News.gov.bc.ca/32935

If you’re seriously ill or injured, you shouldn’t have to worry about taking time off to get the treatment you need.
We’re introducing 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected medical leave, so you can have peace of mind knowing your job is safe while you recover.

Our message to US doctors, nurses and allied health workers is strong and clear – there has never been a better time to come to British Columbia, and for Canadian health professionals currently living and working in the U.S. – now is the time to come home.

To US doctors and nurses: come to beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

There is still more to be done – and that’s why we are ramping up our efforts to recruit health-care workers from the US with a targeted, TeamBC marketing campaign.

We’re starting to make significant progress with more people connected to primary care providers in 2024 than ever before - so you get better, faster care when and where you need it.

Our message to doctors and nurses working in the U.S. is that NOW is the time to come to British Columbia.
We will welcome you to our beautiful province where together we can strengthen public health care, deliver services for people and build healthy communities.

With the uncertainty and chaos happening south of our border, we have an unprecedented opportunity to attract skilled healthcare workers interested in moving to Canada. That's why BC will be fast-tracking credential recognition for US doctors and nurses

Alright, let's talk evidence... last year in Vancouver, crime was down in almost every category. And the overall crime rate is well below what it was in 2017. Nobody is suggesting there isn't lots of work to do, but there's no evidence to suggest crime is up #bcpoli
David Eby and the BCNDP keeps calling their drug policies “evidence-based,” but let’s look at the real evidence:
•Millions of taxpayer-funded doses have been diverted to the streets, flooding the black market.
•Crime and public disorder have skyrocketed in communities across the province.
•Overdoses continue to rise, with no sign that their so-called “safe supply” is saving lives.
British Columbians deserve real solutions—treatment, recovery, and enforcement—not reckless policies that make the crisis worse. When will this government admit their experiment has failed and put public safety first?

Proud of the work this government is doing to look after natural spaces in this province. We’re expanding three Provincial Parks: Naikoon, Wells Gray and Cinnemousun. news.gov.bc.ca/31999
Great to introduce amendments to Protected Areas of BC act today!
Fantastic. Keep up making rural health care equitable!
Did you know you can get help with travel costs for specialist medical appointments? Seven new ferry routes in rural and remote communities have been added to help more people access health care. Learn how to apply for upcoming travel: gov.bc.ca/TravelAssistancePr…

That’s right, David - we’re in partnership, and we can do amazing things working together.
John Rustad would take us backwards.

Excellent interview with an amazing candidate - who also happens to be working to unseat John Rustad.
Former Lake Babine elected chief, Murphy Abraham, who has won big agreements for Babine & would be an incredible MLA - & will actually show up. #bcpoli

We’re expanding access to reproductive healthcare and hiring more healthcare workers to make sure that women in rural areas have the care they need in their community.
John Rustad’s $4.1 billion healthcare cuts will hurt people who need care in rural communities.

David Eby will expand the role of midwives so they can provide the full range of treatment for medical abortions and provide IUD insertions – giving high-quality care to women when they need it, in the communities where they live.
