She'll fit in with the transphobia in that party. She recently moderated an event calling trans people "perverts." One panelist said "I think we need to reject the language of trans children, of trans kids, of trans women, of trans men. It's not a real thing." Deplorable.

NEW - Environment Minister George Heyman, who is Jewish and the child of Holocaust refugees, said “it’s simply not my experience” that there is antisemitism within the NDP caucus as alleged by Selina Robinson. He took issue w BC United saying the NDP lost its only Jewish voice.
Interesting fact: this pilot project was created under the BCUP, and criteria had to be subsequently revised because of these loopholes that allowed speculators to take advantage. BC Housing now has to sue those speculators because the BCUP botched the project. #bcpoli

Budget 2024 invests a record amount in new schools. That's the "reckless spending" @KevinFalcon is against. No surprise given that he and his party froze the school capital budget for eight straight years. #bcpoli

Today @KevinFalcon told reporters that the EHT was doubling. Which is a bit weird because the EHT was *cut* today, not doubled. #bcpoli #oof
Cute!!!
When MLAs return to Victoria next week, I expect Premier Eby to lean in to his role as BC's defender of the public interest. This is an area where he has really found his voice and his stride. Case in point - Chohan Trucking. #bcpoli

British Columbians know that when our neighbours need help, we show up - whether that's in our own communities, or across provincial borders. I'm proud we were able to support Alberta last night w/~200MW of power, during a time that was also a record demand of electricity in BC.

I understand it just fine. I think the difference between your take and mine is that when you read this article about more homes coming to market for less, you thought of the investors with multiple homes. We think of the people who need somewhere affordable to live. #bcpoli

One of Kevin Falcon's most frequent lies is that housing became expensive under the NDP... but the cost of a single family home rose $600,000 in two years under the BC Liberals. That's how we got here in the first place. #bcpoli
Another day, another opposition leader abandoning climate action. I don't know which is worse - John Rustad's climate denial or Kevin Falcon scrapping the climate plan in a desperate attempt to appeal to Rustad's supporters. But British Columbians can’t afford either one.

Today, Kevin Falcon proved that he'll pander to climate deniers like John Rustad no matter what it costs people. CleanBC is reducing emissions and creating jobs. Ripping it up would set us back and hurt our economy. The costs of climate change are too high not to act.

We make no apologies for putting forward big housing measures in the middle of a housing crisis. These guys say they want “results” but I guess that stops if they have to work past 6pm.

A year ago Kevin Falcon said he had just been too busy to worry about fundraising, but that would change! Then he raised the same in Q3 this year as he did last year. Which are both less than Andrew Wilkinson raised in Q3 2019. This didn't age well:

Kevin Falcon is trying to create loopholes for real estate investors. We won’t let him. While the BCU party is fighting for investors, our priority is helping people find a place to live. And we make no apology for that.
Closing this loophole = great news for Vic renters looking for a place. Just a tiny slice of the thousands of BC short term vacation rentals that will turn back in to homes. Owners of multiple STRs: time to find a new profit scheme. Homes are for people #bcpoli

. @GeorgeHeyman has done incredible things for people in BC but what flies under the radar is the work he does for our party. George is a committed New Democrat - he’s a friend, mentor and champion for many. He’s retiring as MLA but we’ll never let him leave the NDP family 🧡
Nearly 11 years ago, @GeorgeHeyman & I were elected on the same day. Since then George has been a tireless and passionate colleague and friend. Chief among his many accomplishments is the continent-leading CleanBC, putting BC at the forefront in the fight against climate change.
HOLY SMOKES that's a lot of volunteers out to help re-elect @GraceALore -- and a BC NDP government that's working for people 🧡
This crew! Thank you to everyone who came to knock on doors across Fairfield today! 🧡🧡 I’m committed to this community and want to keep hustling for it - for housing, for health care, for our planet, and for those who most need us to get it right. Want to help? Let me know!
The Manitoba NDP's new budget is an absolute study in contrast to the steaming pile we got in Alberta. #ableg
We will always protect LGBTQ2S+ kids.
NEW - Environment Minister George Heyman, who is Jewish and the child of Holocaust refugees, said “it’s simply not my experience” that there is antisemitism within the NDP caucus as alleged by Selina Robinson. He took issue w BC United saying the NDP lost its only Jewish voice.
Interesting fact: this pilot project was created under the BCUP, and criteria had to be subsequently revised because of these loopholes that allowed speculators to take advantage. BC Housing now has to sue those speculators because the BCUP botched the project. #bcpoli
While Housing Minister, David Eby gave away taxpayer dollars for housing to speculators. This, after he flipped his own condo in an Airbnb building for a $150,000 profit! There needs to be an immediate & transparent investigation into Eby's speculator giveaways. #BCpoli…
@GeorgeNDP Pizza Pizza is objectively terrible - unlike your service to British Columbians - which has been exemplary. Thanks for everything you've contributed and good luck on the new adventures.
Not easy to say goodbye to the premier’s office but what’s made this job a dream is the incredible people I’ve got to work with. The brilliant staff (in all parties), dedicated public servants and journalists - who work so damn hard (even when they expose your bad taste in pizza)
George Smith just wrapped up his last day as Director of Comms for Premier David Eby. He has made my job, and the job of many others easier and for that I am grateful. His smooth transition from Ontarian to British Columbian is complete while maintaining high pizza standards.
The latest news from the expert on renaming things. #bcpoli
British Columbians are struggling, facing crises in healthcare, public safety, housing, and costs of living. What is David Eby's out-of-touch NDP government prioritizing? Going out of their way to rename manhole covers to "Equipment Access Covers" Ridiculous! #BCpoli
