Every day Trump attacks another Canadian industry. Today, he’s targeting Canadian potash which comes primarily from Saskatchewan and ships out of BC ports. Trump is trying to use trade with dictators in Eastern Europe to hurt Canadian workers and businesses. I stand with the Premier of Saskatchewan, the Prime Minister, and all Canadians, to protect our workers and industries from US control.

Trump’s trade war means businesses are dealing with new pressures, and many are making tough decisions. That’s why we will delay the planned expansion of the PST to a number of professional services, which other provinces include, but that many small businesses rely on.

We’ll always be here for B.C. workers & businesses. That’s why we’ve announced new supports to create good jobs & build resilient businesses in the face of U.S. tariffs. 🏗️ $60m to support manufacturing + innovation 🍎 Expanding Buy BC 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Investing in rural development
Today, we announced an additional $75M to strengthen three existing business support programs, prioritizing forestry. We are facing relentless attacks from the US - on our economy, our politics, our country. We didn’t ask for this fight, but we have a choice in how we respond.

Connecting one million people to primary care shows that our plan is working. We won’t stop until every British Columbian who wants a family doctor or nurse practitioner has one.

I am heartbroken about the loss of a great leader, our dear friend Joan. We will miss her so much. Rest in peace.
British Columbia lost a powerful and respected leader when Joan Amshen Phillip died earlier today. Our caucus and staff are grieving alongside her family and so many others who knew and loved her.

CANXPORT is strengthening our ability to get Canadian goods to global markets: By enabling bulk agricultural products, lumber, plastics + more to be loaded into containers, supply chains become more efficient and exporters’ costs go down. Excellent news for B.C. and Canada! 🇨🇦
Today marks a major milestone for B.C.’s trade future. The new CANXPORT Logistics Hub at the Port of Prince Rupert will support goods movement, strengthen Canada’s trade corridors and advance B.C.’s Look West strategy to diversify exports beyond the U.S. over the next decade.

B.C. and Canada will trade with whoever we want, not who the U.S. tells us to.

British Columbians will always stand with Canada.  Our politeness should never be mistaken for weakness. We’ll always defend ourselves.  We didn’t ask for this, but we’ll keep fighting for as long as it takes.

I am deeply saddened by the news from the RCMP that a woman lost her life during the Bald Range wildfire evacuation. My heart goes out to her family, friends, neighbours, and all those who knew her and will miss her.

We've declared a provincewide State of Provincial Emergency as the new, fast-moving Bald Range wildfire forces thousands of people from their homes in the Summerland area.   At every step, we're focused on ensuring that emergency crews have the tools they need to protect people.
