Former MLA for Chilliwack and Provincial Director of the B.C. NDP
Chilliwack, British Columbia
Joined May 2009
A 'Team Canada' response to Trump's tariffs doesn't mean we agree on everything. It means we are united in standing up for Canadian jobs. I won't stop pushing Ottawa for BC’s fair share – at the same time we’re united against this national threat. We are all on the same side.

Anyone who has lost a loved to the opioid crisis will tell you, no amount of money can bring them back or take away the pain. But we’re going to make big companies and bad actors face the consequences for the harm their products cause.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has launched a campaign implying that MLAs from both parties are double dipping - but that’s not the case.We’ve received 2,000+ emails and will be responding to all of them to clarify that only Rustad’s MLAs are doing this. #bcpoli
John Rustad approved his MLAs to do two elected jobs at the same time - and collect two paychecks from taxpayers. Being an MLA should mean giving 100%. Why does Rustad think it’s ok for his MLAs to do less? #bcpoli

It was an incredible honour to be sworn in as the Minister of State for Childcare & Children & Youth with Support Needs (CYSN). This journey has been a long winding road with lots of ups and downs! 100s of meetings, projects, spreadsheets, multiple elections, tears and

There might be a simpler explanation. Maybe he shares some of their values?
“In August, Rustad declared his ‘lines in the sand’: hate and racism. “When those lines were crossed, Rustad failed to act. That’s a lapse in leadership, not an empowerment of voters.” #bcpoli #BCElxn2024

Every one of our BC NDP MLAs were elected to deliver results for people, like strengthening healthcare and lowering costs. We are determined to listen and get to work on today’s tough challenges — there isn't a moment to waste.

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

Rustad isn’t just talking about American-style healthcare in private anymore - his platform confirms he wants to be able to “purchase healthcare” in BC. #bcpoli
AUDIO: Behind closed doors, John Rustad said he supports "user pay" two-tier healthcare just like in the US. This would pull staff out of the public system and make everyone else wait longer. John Rustad is a risk we can't afford.

John Rustad is doing a classic bait and switch -promising shiny new infrastructure while secretly planning cuts. What else will be on the chopping block for the Fraser Valley? #bcpoli
John Rustad would cancel the Langley SkyTrain extension and hospital projects. He says "we don't have the capacity to build them all." Not only are his new infrastructure promises fairy dust but he would delay or cancel projects underway. We can't afford that risk.

John Rustad won’t share his costed platform with you because he won’t tell you what he will cut here in Fraserview Is it care for our elders in assisted living? Is it eliminating our plan to build more housing for your kids? Raise ICBC rates? He’s not worth the risk. #bcpoli
Tell the truth, John. What will you cut this time? Hospitals? Schools? Mental health services? You’ve done it before—you’ll do it again. #bcpoli

E-11 and #Bcpoli debate night David had a clear plan to help people in BC. John Rustad can’t ever give any specifics - other than tax breaks for Chip Wilson and friends. We need to move forward on the work we need to do for families and people in our communities 🧡
John Rustad's not being clear with his plan - because he knows it means cuts and fees, and you won't support it because it will cost you #bcpoli

Homes you can afford, a doctor when you need it, child care and immediate relief for families. David has a clear plan, Rustad couldn't give any specifics about what he’ll do. #bcpoli
