🚨BIG housing news for British Columbians🚨 Today, BC and the federal government announced that we’re investing more than $5 billion in our province’s infrastructure. We’re going to use that $ to build more housing that people can actually afford.

Great to see Sen̓áḵw getting some love here, featuring @khelsilem.bsky.social along with lots of other great local housing voices (e.g. @1alexhemingway.bsky.social @tomdavidoff.bsky.social & @christineboyle.bsky.social) thrown into the mix. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

I lost my dad last week. Below is a link to the obituary my sister @naomiaklein.bsky.social and I wrote this weekend (helps to have a sister who’s a pretty good writer 😉), along with a bunch of photos. A few more reflections. 🧵... everloved.com/life-of/mich...

Renters👇 this one’s for you.   Housing is way too expensive. It makes life hard when such a large part of your income goes towards your rent. This has to change.   Here’s the good news: asking rents in B.C. are finally going down — and it’s not by accident. A #homesforpeople 🧵

From 2007-2016 the average number of new purpose built rental units across BC was ~2,500 per year. In 2025 it was 26,000! 🎉 Asking rents are going down ⬇️ Vacancy rates are going up, creating more choice for renters ⬆️ We’re delivering #HomesForPeople, in communities they love. ❤️ #BCPoli

Even Conservative MLAs don't support Kerry-Lynne Findlay and her Trump-style politics. She attacked the family of Conservative MLA Peter Milobar just because they're Indigenous. She's the most extreme, divisive party leader in BC history. No wonder pro-Trump MLAs all back her.

Did you know? The UEL is an unincorporated area, meaning that the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs acts as the governing authority for the area…essentially the “Mayor” of the University Endowment Lands 😉 #ubc #vanpoli

🚨It’s Emergency Preparedness Week🚨 And this year’s theme is “in it together,” because preparing for emergencies is a team effort to keep everyone safe. Today, Minister of Emergency Management @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social introduced us to emergency response teams from across BC 🙌

Seniors are moving into 76 new supportive homes with 24/7 supports in Vancouver’s Victory Square 🙌 The Tung Sam Lau building at 177 West Pender just opened! A #homesforpeople 🧵 /1

That is why I’m calling on Ottawa to introduce strong, enforceable safety standards so that the law keeps pace with technological advancements. We cannot wait – lives depend on it. Read my full statement here: news.gov.bc.ca/33676

Every parent knows the struggle of keeping your kid safe online. Unregulated social media platforms & AI tools are exposing young people to real harm. Self‑policing by tech companies has failed.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱 Today (and every day) it's important to work together to protect the people and places we love. That's on my mind in every decision I make, large and small. @randeneneillmlabc.bsky.social #EarthDay #EarthDay2026 #BCPoli #VanBike #ShorterShowers #Parenting

Really pleased to share some good news alongside Mayor Tom Dyas this morning: Kelowna will be the first community to benefit from our accelerated short-term rental opt-out timeline after vacancy rates stayed above 3% for two years 🎉

We’re building COMMUNITY (QMUNITY, that is) in this housing 🚨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Was so excited to visit the 981 Davie St construction site! 154 units of new, affordable rentals are being built for people with middle to low incomes. #vanpoli #homesforpeople /1

This is really important! Very happy to see this!

Bill 18 brings babies in the boardroom 👶 Just kidding, we can’t mandate that (even though we would love to). But I am so proud to bring forward this legislation that will allow parental leave for up to 26 weeks for local elected officials. CC: @ubcm.bsky.social
