My message to billionaires who don’t want to chip in their fair share is: I’m not your guy. My message to British Columbians is this: Let’s stick together. Let’s work together to build a brighter future for everyone, not just those at the top. https://t.co/CIotB7R06f

Things this doesn’t say: “I support the right for woman to choose”. Pretending this is not an issue for provincial government is just wrong - As a gov we’ve made mifegymiso and birth control FREE and available at pharmacies across the province. Leadership on this matters
I will not reopen the abortion debate. This is nonsense from Eby’s NDP who are grasping at straws because they have fallen into second place, behind the Conservative Party of BC. #bcpoli

I was shocked to hear @BruceBanman define motherhood as starting "from the moment of conception" yesterday. With reproductive rights under attack on the front lawn of the legislature at this moment, people deserve a clear commitment from John Rustad to defend the right to choose.

It was great seeing you @BeingKulvir ❤️
I had an amazing time in Victoria with my fellow 60 Board Chairs across BC advocating for public education with all our elected MLAs at @BCLegislature We attended “Question Period” & met to discuss how we can collaborate together for all students. TY @carolejames for your words!

You might have heard about BC’s Conservative Party. But have you heard about their leader’s extreme agenda? #bcpoli

apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breasts, clothing and voice are constantly scrutinized as "not feminine enough" is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

I really appreciate Minister @RachnaSinghNDP taking the time to talk with me about the needs of our growing district. I The BC government is working with boards of education to ensure that public education includes and supports all students.
So great to visit Chilliwack and connect with @ChilliwackSD33 board chair @WillowReichelt! Lots of ideas to better serve their growing population, and a strong commitment to protecting the rights of all students and making our schools a place where everyone feels they belong.

This is great news!

All this harassment campaign is doing is making our district a lot less safe for queer kids. It is making our district a lot less safe for staff. Anyone participating in this campaign is doing serious damage. It needs to stop. Now!

There is a tiny but loud minority in our city who don’t believe LGBTQ+ people have equal rights and who want LGBTQ+ representation excluded from learning resources. They are working with those from outside our community to bully and harass me into resigning. It won’t work.

In addition to the online petition being inaccurate and mean spirited, it is also useless. A bunch of anonymous and uninformed people from all over Canada and the USA “signing” a petition will have no effect on my position whatsoever.

I encourage everyone to go watch entire board meetings instead of the clips that have been selected by Action4Canada.

What I don't allow is comments about topics not on the agenda (the chair is required to ensure we follow our board meeting bylaw), comments that are discriminatory or defamatory, or comments that spread deliberate misinformation. Respectful disagreement is always encouraged.

There is currently an online petition circulating that seeks to have me resign or be removed. The petition is rooted in lies. It is demonstrably false to suggest that I do not allow comments I disagree with.

If at any point the board loses confidence in the chair, they can move to hold a new board election and select a new chair. There is no mechanism for members of the public to choose or remove the board chair.
