I’ve been going some schoolwork lately with Christina Lake Elementary yesterday, South Okanagan Secondary this morning and this afternoon with @SenMarilou McPhedran at Penticton Secondary (my alma mater). Great to hear from young people on so many issues!
Community cleanup this morning organized by Penticton Neighbourhood Association —come on down to Gyro Park!
Right next to the Farmers Market today is the Earth Day celebrations in Gyro Park—lots of music, information and things to do!
Come on down to the first Penticton Farmers Market of the year!
Pierre Poilievre has enjoyed tax-payer-funded dental care for over 20 years - but he doesn't think 9 million Canadians deserve the same right. The Price of Pierre: he thinks you should pay for his dental care and your own.
Oral health is essential to overall health. The NDP believes every Canadian should have access to dental care. We are proud the Canada Dental Care Plan we created will bring dental care to 9 million people. Pierre Poilievre will take it away. Remember this next election.
En reunión con el Diputado del NDP @CanningsNDP, el Embajador @carlosjativan expuso los temas de interés común entre 🇪🇨 🇨🇦, ponderó los resultados de la cooperación bilateral y destacó los beneficios que un TLC proporcionaría a los dos países.
I support a national brain injury strategy!

Wonderful to meet up with Okanagan firefighters to discuss some of the issues facing our first responders —the ongoing concern of cancer causing chemicals used in their work, the poisoned drug crisis, wildfire fighting support and more.
I was very happy that my NDP colleague @RABlaney refused to withdraw her comments calling out the Conservatives on their blatant misogyny in the House of Commons. Their harassment of women MPs is constant, and it’s unacceptable
I had a very cordial, frank and productive conversation this morning with Ambassador Carlos Játiva and Marisol Nieto from the Ecuadorean embassy, discussing concerns about the negotiation of a free trade agreement between Canada and Ecuador.
It appears that the liberal government did not listen to…or act on…the recommendations from the disability community. #liberalFail #raiseTheRates #CDB My question to the prime minister here👇 youtu.be/tURi2Mroqq0?si…
@CanningsNDP @SupportOurSci Thank you MP Cannings! You were the first parliamentarian to step up and say "This is not right, let's fix it!", followed by sponsoring the petition put forth by @wishartae & @SupportOurSci. We look forward to working with you & all parties going forward
Budget win for @SupportOurSci ence —after 20 years of scholarship stagnation the government has finally agreed to allow our best and brightest grad students to live at or above the poverty line!
Very interesting discussions at the Council of Forest Industries @COFI_INFO conference in Vancouver, with Chief Terry Teegee, Minister Bruce Ralston and Dep. Ambassador to US Arun Alexander talking First Nations involvement, innovation and change, and of course softwood lumber.
BC again leading the way to allow mass timber technologies to help meet climate commitments and give the forest sector more domestic markets to ease reliance on US.

Happy birthday to my twin brother Syd for tomorrow! It’s been a wonderful seven decades since this picture was taken.
Ignite The Arts is on in Penticton this weekend. Fiery kickoff last night followed by a free concert from the legendary Al Simmonds.

#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌 Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village! Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!
Today’s federal budget includes a commitment to replace @VIA_Rail’s aging long-distance train fleet, including the train that runs between Jasper and Prince Rupert. As NDP transport critic I’ve pushed hard for this commitment and it’s good to see it in black and white.
@CanningsNDP @SupportOurSci Oh, wow. This is huge! About time!
@CanningsNDP @SupportOurSci Great to see this! Truly superb! Next up will be support for the many amazing non-scholarship students, but I'm particularly pleased to see the value AND the number of scholarships increase. Thank you for advocacy on this point!!
@CanningsNDP @SupportOurSci Thank you for being such a strong advocate on this!
@CanningsNDP @SupportOurSci Brilliant advocacy. 👏
This couldn’t have been achieved without the grassroots efforts of grad students, professors, and the politicians who spoke up alongside us including @StanKutcher @CanningsNDP @MBJDepute @TurnbullWhitby & @LenaMetlegeDiab.
Volunteer firefighters & search/rescue volunteers are our front line of defence against wildfires that are becoming more devastating. I'm supporting NDP MP @GordJohns's bill to boost tax credits for these heroes from $3,000 to $10,000 to thank them & increase recruitment.
