I’m afraid your math is off John Rustad - despite colonial rule for xxx years - today First Nations are still here and we are winning in the courts. Stop fear mongering. Divide and conquer is such a desperate play. Get on board #PaddleTogether it’s our home and native land 🧡

People can see the impacts of climate disasters on food prices. We need to produce more food here in BC. Helping food producers like Vitalus Nutrition grow means more made-in-BC food on the shelves, and more good jobs and opportunities for British Columbians.

🍼Last year, young families in BC saw surging prices & mass shortages of #BabyFormula due to vulnerable supply chains. No family should have to worry about feeding their child. That's why today, we are backing Vitalus Nutrition to strengthen supply & increase BC’s milk output by 50%.

🥛BC has a new #IndustrialBlueprint to grow & support an innovation-based economy. In #Abbotsford , we are supporting Vitalus Nutrition so they can continue to be leaders in agricultural innovation & food security while creating 100 new sustainable jobs.
