David Eby@davidebybc.bsky.social · last wk.We’re building B.C.’s economy and reducing our reliance on the United States. That means investing in major projects and the skilled workers needed to build them.
The new Conservative Leader just isn’t focused on the issues that matter most.
Since our Government rolled out the PTA in 2023, BC’s gender pay gap has dropped from 18% to 14.5%. But there is a lot of work ahead to achieve parity. That’s why we are implementing additional measures this fall to help decrease the gender pay gap.

Exciting to see the US House of Representatives pass this bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. BC led the way in adopting permanent DST earlier this year, and I’m glad to see that our American neighbours will be in alignment with us going forward.
The weather is warming and we’re expecting an increase of wildfire activity in B.C. One of the best ways to prepare for emergencies is to have a plan. The Emergency Ready Planner can help you build a personalized emergency plan. Get started: PreparedBC.ca/EmergencyReady

Knowing what to do, where to go and who to contact will reduce stress and help keep you focused and safe during a disaster.

It's a milestone. It means BC politics has evolved enough to offer hope that women need not choose between serving their province and starting or growing their family, and that's good for the representation of women and families in our democracy. www.nsnews.com/local-news/n...
