Total eclipse of the heat! What a game!!!

ECLIPSED THE KNIGHTS! 🌘

It was my honour to be in your canoe Andrea Reimer (she/her), along with so many other amazing leaders and advocates who had and will continue to have your back. #PaddleTogether - the journey to advance #EDI and #Reconciliation continues…🧡🛶

I am light on social media these days but when I heard this story it broke my heart-I want to thank all of the people who are doing their level best to save this baby orca #LittleHunter -namely #ChiefSimonJohn of the #EhattesahtFirstNation . Please update us w/ the action plan #DFO

Murray Sinclair who led the TRC said “Education is what got us here and education is what will get us out.” Congrats KwantlenU for waiving tuition for students from local First Nations. After all education is a great equalizer #Empower

Happy #IWD ! Thank you Sonia Sunger - I made an error in my remarks-I’m not the 1st First Nations person to get elected in BC, that was the late #FrankCalder who is also Nisga’a. But I am the only First Nations woman to be an MLA & Cabinet Minister in BCs history. #PaddleTogether

You bet it does! Paddle hard - paddle like peoples’ lives depend on it- paddle with 🧡 #PaddleTogether #Rights #Respect #Recognition #DRIPA

Gilakas’la for all your service Melanie Mark Hli Haykwhl Ẃii Xsgaak and for inspiring all of us, especially Indigenous women and girls. Our journey continues…🙏🏽🧡🪶

Minister Melanie Mark Hli Haykwhl Ẃii Xsgaak will join BIV editor-in-chief Hayley Woodin Hastings for an onstage conversation at the 2023 Influential Women in Business Awards on March 8. biv.com/article/2023/0… #bcpoli #womeninbusiness #Indigenous #leadership

It was also kind of Sonia Furstenau (and other MLA colleagues) to mention the great work Melanie Mark Hli Haykwhl Ẃii Xsgaak has done, and to think about why we are continuing to see IBPOC women leaving politics.

And it's not just in the political world. It reminded me this graphic I saw.

Today, Sonia Furstenau shared BC Legislature how MLAs are 'all temporary occupiers of these seats' and encouraged us to think about why we are here.

'... if we keep doing the same thing in here, how are we going to expect different outcomes?'

Couldn't agree more. Thank you. ✊

My recent diagnosis with #ADHD is just the beginning- so much to unpack…I am learning people like me roll with like minded ADHRs/those who can keep up! TY Pete Quily & @cbc for shining a light on our superpowers & the challenges with having a Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes.

People are facing tough challenges. Some say we should pull back supports but we will continue to invest in the things people need. Together, we can get through difficult economic times and move forward on building a clean economy that works for everyone. strongerbc.gov.bc.ca
