My post-election tradition is neighbourhood garbage pick up.
Community service takes lots of forms. Sometimes it’s big decisions and tough debates. Sometimes it’s a garbage bag and a pair of gloves.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep serving Kelowna-Mission in all ways.
I’m thankful to the people of Kelowna-Mission for renewing their trust in me with a strong mandate.
To my family, volunteers, supporters, and everyone who helped our campaign, I’m deeply grateful. I also want to acknowledge my local opponents for their willingness to serve the community we all care about deeply.
I’m hopeful about what comes next. Lorne Doerkson has stepped up with strong leadership for serious times, and I’m proud to be part of a great Conservative team from all over BC.
Whether they won or fell short, each and every one of our candidates is part of this big blue win.
We have a generational opportunity to reignite the spirit of enterprise, restore confidence in our future, and make life better for people and families - and we are ready to get to work.

Election Day is tomorrow. My invisible NDP opponent has not set foot in Kelowna.
David Eby talks about "working harder in this region" and "earning every vote." It's hard to take him seriously.
Conservatives will deliver strong leadership for the Okanagan and for all BC.

This is our opportunity for change. Let’s make it count.
We’re in the final stretch, and your donation will help us reach more voters and get our supporters to the polls.
Help us finish strong.👇

Thank you, Surrey! 2,500 of you packed the room tonight, and the energy was incredible. I’m so grateful to every single person who came out.
Looking at that crowd, I saw the people who keep British Columbia going. Hard workers. Builders. Families who’ve given so much to this province and deserve a government that finally works just as hard for them.
Surrey is ready for change and strong leadership.
On October 24th, vote Conservative.
Whoa.
This may explain the NDP’s invisible paper candidate in my riding.
Rumour has it they pulled their original candidate at the last minute because of anti-LNG social posts.
I guess those rules don’t apply to cabinet ministers.
Eby has lost control.

Northern BC has the resources and the workers to drive BC’s prosperity. But NDP policies have held us back.
From LNG and mining to forestry, it’s time to get projects moving and protect good-paying jobs.
Vote for Strong Leadership for Serious Times. Vote Conservative Oct. 24.
We are facing a generational youth jobs crisis.
That's why we laid out a Youth Jobs Plan months before the election, and it will be a key focus of a @Conservative_BC government.
We need to make sure the next generation can get their foot on the ladder to success.
Young British Columbians struggle to find good jobs, keep up with rising costs, and build their future in the province they call home.
We can’t afford to lose the next generation. Something needs to change.
Let's bring back hope, opportunity, and a future in BC worth staying for.
On October 24, vote for change. Vote Conservative.
Great to catch up with Chris Atchison, President of the BC Construction Association, as he tours the province talking to people about the future of construction in B.C.
More than 264,000 British Columbians work in construction.
From housing to hospitals, schools to highways, construction is essential to building a stronger, more prosperous B.C.
We need to tackle rising costs, cut red tape, get projects moving, and create the conditions for our construction industry to thrive.
It’s time to get B.C. building again.
It's easy for elections to get spicy.
Just days before the sudden writ drop, I had the opportunity to reflect on peace and political discourse as part of a panel for International Peace Day.
There’s plenty of theatre in politics. Holding government accountable sometimes means asking tough questions and refusing to accept a non-answer. The stakes for the people we represent are real.
But spirited debate and mutual respect can coexist. We can challenge each other fiercely on the issues and still recognize each other’s humanity.
That matters during an election, and after the signs come down.
The festival of Dussehra celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil - universal themes that bring us together.
I was honoured to be part of the celebration presented by the Kelowna Hindu Cultural Society - good people, good food, and inspiring performances!

Eby went to Kelowna to play 'healthcare hero,' and media rightly called him out for it.
REPORTERS: I’m just wondering why this is being made as a campaign announcement today for a good year and both the province and Interior Health have denied it was a problem.
I would like you to elaborate a little bit more about the timing of the hospital expansion here. That sixth floor has been sitting empty for well over a decade. There have been calls to get it up and running for quite some time. What is your response to criticism about the optics not looking good here, that you are making this announcement just days before asking people to vote for your party?
Just one more quick question here with the announcement at KGH. How are you planning on staffing this new unit? We know there are shortages everywhere.
So what's your message to voters who are actually genuinely concerned that some of these pledges that would make a difference in their communities could end up as, you know, “broken promises”?

Eby promised families of kids with autism their funding was safe.
Then he pulled the plug. 10,000+ kids get less support. 5,000+ lose direct funding entirely.
A Conservative government will extend the Autism Funding Program so no family loses the support they need.
British Columbian kids deserve strong leadership for serious times.
