🚨‼️ Trust me, you’ll want to watch this. The government keeps claiming they’re investing in treatment — but the numbers tell a very different story. Out of 2,136 publicly funded beds in B.C., only 806 are actual treatment beds. The rest? Supportive recovery, not clinical

I’m often asked what I would do differently if I were in government, and how we can solve this crisis. As part of the Opposition, I don’t have the same ability to change legislation or reallocate the budget that those in government do. My role as the Official Opposition Critic

🎙️ Thanks to Adam Stirling for having me on the show yesterday. We had an important conversation about the mental health crisis facing B.C. paramedics, and how it’s connected to the ongoing drug crisis, and deep flaws in our health care system. Looking forward to speaking with

🚨 B.C. Paramedics Need Support Now. The rising number of suicides among paramedics is a warning we cannot ignore. These frontline heroes are responding to overdoses, trauma, and emergencies daily, but when they need help, the system is not there to support them. Today, I’m

I’ll give you an idea for a good place to start “fighting for workers”. Start by responding to the permit applications coming from the people in my riding! . Your government has destroyed this industry that used to be the back bone of Skeena and now First Nations leaders can’t.
BC is the second-largest exporter of softwood lumber in the world. We’ll keep fighting for workers and push for a long-term softwood deal. My statement on the Prime Minister’s announcement of new supports for Canada’s forestry sector 👇🏾. #bcpoli #BCForestry

Our first annual B.C. Day pancake breakfast was a huge success! We had a few hundred people attend and it was so much fun, thanks to everyone that came out this morning to enjoy some food and good conversation. I cannot thank my volunteers enough—you all were amazing and I

And for anyone who missed the opening ceremony yesterday—here’s the speech that I gave. This weekend is a time for celebration and for communities to come together. I am so proud of what we have accomplished here in Northern BC, but there is always more work to be done. I

Day 2 of Riverboat Days is in the books—and what an amazing weekend it’s been so far! 🎉. Thousands of pieces of candy handed out in the parade, a great opening ceremony, live music and other entertainment, vendors, and a pancake breakfast at the Happy Gang Centre and salmon BBQ

B.C. is still losing almost 5 people a day to the poisoned drug supply, and the NDP continues to double down on a failed approach. New Coroners Service data shows that trades, transport, and equipment operators account for the highest number of lives lost. These are working

292 drug deaths. 22% were trades, transportation, and equipment operators. B.C.’s working people are dying, and not just from drugs, but from this government’s denial and policy failure. They are failing the men and women who keep our province running. Joint statement from me

Mental health in the trades is a growing problem we cannot ignore. Over 80% of construction workers report struggling with mental health, and substance use in the industry is nearly double the national average. This isn’t just a health issue, it’s a workforce issue, a safety

A productive meeting today with Chief Bennett, Chief Sam, and Darrin. I’m grateful for their leadership, dedication, and all the hard work they do to advance our region and stand up for the people of Skeena. When we work together, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. I truly

Starting August 2025, UHNBC may transfer pregnant women out of our region due to a shortage of obstetrical specialists. While the mother’s travel costs may be covered, spouses, children, and support people are not—leaving families to shoulder the financial burden. Once again,

This government is still handing out free fentanyl, but won’t pay for the one medication keeping a 10-year-old girl alive?. Charleigh Pollock has a terminal illness. The NDP cut off her life saving treatment. Now her family is turning to GoFundMe while David Eby plays politics
