This has always been true. @susanholt showed us the way. I want the young women in my life to know, we belong in government. And with any luck, the White House is next. Thank you Madam Premier shop in Calgary for your advocacy. #electwomen #changepolitics #timeforanewshirt
There’s something very special about having kids newly of voting age - I’ve taken them to the polling stations since they were in strollers - they care deeply about their futures, our futures, and they’re watching - carefully. #raiseavoter #bcpoli

Had a great time on the parade route with @SalmonArmBC crew - great big thank you to the @salmonarmfair organizers, volunteers, partipants and sponsors - teamwork makes the dream work!
Also, tennis racquets are great candy delivery devices for yummy caramels. 😉
As a family, we’ve always talked about and watched politics. Tonight, we sat together to watch @Tim_Walz ‘s address to his party and we have great joy and hope for our neighbours - and for ourselves - we might be the mouse but we cheer for the good elephants. #canpoli #canhistory

My kid is a volunteer fire fighter. While we were out tonight for a beer and a visit on the patio of the local pub, the fire truck drove by and everyone cheered. He was in it. This is how we build community and resilience. #bcpoli #grateful #theyareourfuture
I know the world seems like an upside down cluster f**k right now but in our town a bunch of amazing kids graduated
high school and we all feel their joy - I’m embracing that - we are temporary - they are the future -
Never give up.
Home this evening from a busy five days in Calgary at the annual convention for @FCM_online .
Good leadership is powered by profound gratitude for being elected, being entrusted with local community decisions and having the privilege of representing Salmon Arm.

If the world was brought to us by any letter today, I would pick R.
R for rational. R for respect. R for relationship.

Shout out to @cityofkelowna for their @FCM_online presentation at our Board Meeting in @CityofPG. Proud of one of our #SILGA communities leading the way. #CityofTheFuture #ResponsibleAI #bcmuni
It was the honour of my life to serve in the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney's government and the House of Commons as a Parliamentary page. He fixed acid rain. He helped end apartheid in South Africa and enshrined free trade. My heart is broken for his family. #RIP

I do not understand the power of flour, milk, eggs, baking soda, butter and syrup but if you worry about the world, as I do, go do some good. Volunteer at a local community pancake breakfast. I did two this weekend; one at a local seniors centre and one at a pride brunch. 1/3
