While any improvement in the overdose crisis is welcome is the government taking credit for a marginally better monthly report while simultaneously blaming the federal government for the broader problem The numbers are still devastating and the root causeslike housing mental health support and addiction treatmentseem to be stuck in a blame game instead of getting real sustained action. The minister suggests calling the police when encountering drug use in inappropriate places to enforce the rules. Is this approach"

"This is the story of just one of the countless British Columbians being failed by our broken system. While doing outreach work on Pandora Street I met a woman desperate for treatment. She went to detox hoping for a fresh startbut there was no bed available for her in treatment. So what happened She was dumped back on the streets after detox. That night she overdosed and almost died. It took the people around her nine different naloxone kits to put together a single full kitbecause addicts use the needles and medical supplies inside to shoot up. She is lucky to be alive today. Many others are"

But now Theyre banning Tesla from BC Hydro rebates not because of emissions not because of environmental concernsbut because of a political spat with Trump. So lets get this straight: ✅ The carbon tax keeps going up punishing everyday British Columbians for driving to work and heating their homes. ✅ The government keeps raking in billions from those taxes. ✅ But when it comes to"

Overdose continues to be the leading cause of death for British Columbians aged 10-59 in this province.

"We Closed the Hospital. Now Were Living with the Consequences. People with severe psychiatric illness and intellectual disabilities are not just at risk of harming others they are at extreme risk of being harmed themselves. They are more likely to be assaulted. More likely to be sexually exploited. More likely to be robbed. More likely to be coerced into drug use. More likely to die from overdose. More likely to not have adequate housing that can support their needs. The absence of secure supervised environments does not create freedom for profoundly vulnerable people. It creates exposure."

"After a long awkward pause in the House the NDP couldnt even decide who should answer. The Premier has finally admitted he was wrong on decriminalization and that it had "unhappy consequences." Shameful. British Columbians deserve accountability not excuses. #bcpoli #NDPfailures #AccountabilityMatters"

"Last night I stood with the community of Tumbler Ridge at a vigil I will never forget. It was one of the most devastating and emotionally raw moments I have ever witnessed. The grief in that space was overwhelming. Parents friends and neighbours holding one another sobbing openly hearts shattered in a way no community should ever have to endure. And yet in the middle of that heartbreak I felt something else too. I felt the smallest sliver of hope. I saw broken but resilient people choosing to gather together instead of retreating. I saw neighbours wrapping their arms around one another. I saw"

"My heart is broken. Last night we gathered at the Legislature to remember and honour the lives lost in the tragic events in Tumbler Ridge. Our hearts are with the families and friends of those who were taken far too soon and with everyone who is trying to heal from this unimaginable loss. Thank you to everyone who came out to stand in solidarity and to offer comfort in a time of deep grief. May we continue to support each other with compassion and care as our community mourns together"

"The question British Columbians deserve answered is simple: Where has all the money gone Food bank use is at record highs. Food prices keep climbing. Industries like forestry are collapsing. Home ownership is out of reach for most. Infrastructure is crumbling. Public safety is deteriorating. Crisis after crisis in the last decade and this government has no solutions. What exactly has gotten better over the last decade With the budget coming soon even this governments own ministers have admitted their fiscal situation is a mess. British Columbia cannot afford more of this. Over the next few"

"Last week I attended the Conservative Party of Canada convention alongside colleagues and grassroots members from across the country. Conventions matter because theyre not just about speeches theyre about listening. Hearing directly from members debating ideas and shaping policy is how we make sure our movement stays grounded in real people and real priorities. What stood out most to me was how many conversations centred on affordability public safety health care and restoring trust in our institutions the issues that all Canadians are struggling with right now. Those voices deserve to be"

"I want to sincerely thank Trevor Halford for coming to Skeena yesterday to join me for our Forestry Town Hall in Terrace. We had a fantastic turnout and more importantly a thoughtful and productive discussion about the future of forestry in northern B.C. I heard clearly from workers contractors small operators and community members who care deeply about this sector. The message was consistent: we need certainty restored a real focus on value-added manufacturing a permitting system that works instead of holding projects back and less red tape and bureaucracy. There was also strong interest in"

"I was so glad to attend the 23rd Annual B.C. Natural Resources Forum this week in Prince George. Ive attended many times over the years and every time I leave having learned something new. These conversations are always valuable not just for the insights shared but for the opportunity to connect directly with industry leaders stakeholders and fellow elected officials from across the province. One thing remains clear: responsible resource development is not a problem to be managed but an opportunity to lead. Our natural resource sector is critical to British Columbias future and its the"

"While the NDP are acting surprised their experiment didnt work many of us who knew it wouldnt are frustrated. Dr. Julian Somers a psychologist and leading addiction researcher spent decades studying what helps people recover housing treatment and community reintegration. Instead of listening the NDP ignored his findings and just before launching decriminalization ordered his research data destroyed. Years of publicly funded evidence that cost $40 million wiped out after senior officials had been briefed. The evidence was there. The warnings were clear. This failure wasnt inevitable this was a"

For an MLA who has been elected for longer than Ive been alive I would think he would know how to answer his emails in a timely manner but I guess thats wishful thinking.

That negligence is precisely why I will continue to stand up forcefully"

"For years families frontline workers and the Opposition warned that B.C.s take-home safer supply model was causing real harm. Todays rollback confirms what the NDP refused to acknowledge. This is not a refinement it is an admission of failure. People struggling with addiction deserve pathways to recovery not policies that entrench dependency enable diversion or fuel organized crime. British Columbians expect evidence-based policy and accountability not failed experiments prolonged out of ideology. Its time to end this policy and redirect resources toward treatment recovery and real supports"
