The impacts of rural hospital closures are real. #MackenzieBC resident Jeannette Brosinsky shared her story of her recent health scare & drive to #CityofPG: “Your heart is pounding, there is a lot of pain, and the fear of if I’m going to see my family again.” The NDP are

Shaw “It’s a wild turnaround from just two years prior, when a departing John Horgan left Premier David Eby a $6-billion surplus that fuelled an Eby-style spendapalooza. The numbers show it hasn’t stopped since. The resulting overspend on programs and services is now baked into

New jobs data just came out from Statistics Canada. Young people in BC are getting crushed.

Imagine being a homeowner. You pay your taxes, follow the rules—and then a landslide hits. Your home survives, but now it’s assessed at just $2 because of the risk. Years ago, the BC NDP spent millions to protect a nearby road from the same hazard. Today, they’ve abandoned the

With sky high youth unemployment, people are fleeing BC because they can’t see a future here. I talked to Mike Smyth this morning about business and consumer confidence, labour force numbers, and a recent report showing a record number of people leaving BC. #bcpoli

I was at KIts beach today volunteering at a kiosk for a municipal opposition party - chatting with people about their hopes, fears and priorities for the city. Unsurprisingly the top three concerns were affordability, crime and personal safety, homelessness and drugs. But then

A British Columbia manufacturer that says it's facing closure is accusing the provincial government of hypocrisy after the premier recently touted a product it had a hand in. globalnews.ca/news/11324218/…

Private property rights must be a priority and protected. I will always stand up for private property rights. This decision needs to be appealed.

Today I sent a letter to Ministers Spencer Chandra Herbert & Niki Sharma demanding that the BC NDP government appeal the Cowichan Tribes vs Canada 2025 BCSC decision without delay. If the Premier is sincere about respecting private property rights, he will immediately file an

Under BC NDP government fiscal 2015-16 to 2025-26 - 544% increase in debt service interest costs

Great visit with Julian Tile! A long-standing Burnaby business. We heard directly from Randy & Stephanie about the challenges they’re facing - rising costs, overregulation and bureaucracy. Without businesses like this, BC wouldn’t be what it is today - and they deserve better.

A shopkeeper in Abbotsford suffered life-threatening injuries — stabbed by a man on statutory release from a prior violent conviction. This is the dangerous reality created by federal liberal weak laws like C-75 & C-5, and Niki Sharma’s failure as BC’s Attorney General to fight

For over a century, the Italian community has played a vital role in building BC. Today their concerns mirror those across the province: rising taxes, affordability & public safety. Thanks Mauro Francis, IL CENTRO - Italian Cultural Centre and the entrepreneurs who help bring back common sense to BC!

An Abbotsford business owner received life-threatening injuries from being stabbed after trying to stop a 40-year-old man who was out on statutory release from a previous violent offence from trying to steal from his shop. Not only do we need to reform Canada’s bail laws, but
