Cracking down on extortion threats is a big priority for our govt. Today I heard directly from business owners on their experiences dealing with this threat. BC’s Extortion Task Force continues to make progress on these investigations. No one should feel unsafe in their home.

Spreading hate and fear doesn’t belong in our legislature and it has no place in our province.

When I was hosting the afternoon drive at @CKNW listeners loved to call in and crap on ICBC. But wowza... look at the auto insurance rate hikes in Alberta by comparison.
Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Everybody who has succumbed to alarmist disinformation about the Cowichan ruling trafficked by political opportunists and cranks should read this. By all means, dislike the Eby government as much as you like. Just don't be crazy.

We can and must do two things at once- respect First Nations rights and title, and respect private property rights. That’s the path to reconciliation, and a more prosperous future together.

That’s not a staffer, that’s me. And it was a powerful cross-partisan moment of strength against the division and racism that your party is fixated on.

(1/4) When you’re seriously ill or injured, the last thing you should have to worry about is your job. That’s why we’re moving forward with plans to introduce up to 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected medical leave (within a 12-month period)

This is out of line. Amelia and I disagree on many things. But in my meetings with her she was always professional and persistent. Disappointing behaviour from the BC Conservatives.
Rustad says Boultbee has had mental health issues in the past, says he is concerned about her current wellbeing. Faces Qs on if he has a problem with female MLAs after four have departed caucus.
