MLAs Karin Kirkpatrick, Coralee Oakes, Tom Shypitka, Mike Bernier, Dan Davies and Adam Walker are all running as independents. Five of them were elected as BC Liberals in 2020 and Walker was elected as a New Democrat. #bcpoli

I'm incredibly excited to announce I'm running for re-election as an independent for West Vancouver-Capilano! #bcpoli

A few things about this: - I'm told the severance obligations are around $850k - The caucus has money set aside for severance, but never imagined 25 staff, so the amount is not enough - 5 of 25 employees have contracts with severance provisions, but the others don't, so this

“It almost feels like my first election,” says Coralee Oakes of her bid to run as an Independent in the October election. Rob Shaw for NorthernBeat News northernbeat.ca/opinion/northe…

I am so excited for ⁦Coralee Oakes⁩ and her riding. She is a passionate advocate for her community - Northern BC United MLA Coralee Oakes 'excited' to run as Independent - Northern Beat northernbeat.ca/opinion/northe…

It is important to mention that legislative staff (whose severances are being referred to here) are actually always paid by taxpayer dollars. This is not for party staff, who are funded primarily by individual donations. The funding is for BC United Caucus not BC United.

I want to extend a huge thanks to five-term MLA Ralph Sultan, Jackie Lee, and Craig Cameron for their incredible support at the launch of our campaign! Their support is incredibly important as we push for stronger representation for the North Shore and all of BC. More to come

Yesterday, I launched my independent campaign to continue as West Vancouver-Capilano's MLA. Since then, we've received an incredible outpouring of support. With strong momentum and a commitment to the community, I’m running to advocate for the values that matter to us all.

This is a misinterpretation of the report, and the report has so many flaws. How about this other report posted below? I wonder which we should believe - a report commissioned by the hotel association or stats Canada data. I think it is hilarious that the skewed report the

The BC NDP should be ashamed. They aren't providing care, and are counting wet facilities as treatment beds. They are lying to the public. #bcpoli

BC needs more treatment beds and they can't come soon enough. This is very disappointing but consistent with what we have always said about the BC NDP being creative with their housing stats. I asked Ravi Kahlon multiple times earlier this year to explain the lack of proper

Nurses have been leaving hospitals due to toxic environments in recent years. The NDP may have had opportunities to develop solutions to address this issue during that time. Under the NDP leadership, many BC nurses also moved to the US to work for private companies.
