Lorne Doerkson signed a letter promising to replace B.C.’s no-fault ICBC system with a model that would double current rates. Then he lied about it. We can't trust Lorne. We can't afford the BC Conservatives. Stop Doerkson's Deal ⬇️ doerksonsdeal.ca

While governments may disagree on trade, our message to health-care professionals is simple: you are welcome here, your work is valued, and your contributions are making a difference in communities across British Columbia. #BCpoli #Healthcare #BChealthcare
Government of British Columbia@governmentofbc.bsky.social · 2mo agoWatch Dr. Kopstick's story and hear why he chose to build his future in BC. Know a health-care worker in the US? Share this story, or tag them in the comments, and let them know BC's hiring.
Another country wants to dictate to us who we can and cannot trade with and that is unacceptable. We will never become the economic 51st state. We will continue diversifying our trade, growing our economy and defending British Columbians against this economic war.
There’s a line, and Donald Trump is trying to cross it. Canada will never be the 51st state.
Anyone who is outdoors while wildfire smoke is present should limit their exposure, especially if you have underlying health issues. @redcrosscanada is distributing free N95 masks in several Interior communities to help. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

With U.S. tariffs & global uncertainty weighing on economies everywhere, we are focused on creating opportunities at home and expanding trade with new markets. And it's paying off: 17,800 new jobs added in July, and unemployment fell to 6.2%, while adding 32,500 FT jobs. 1/2
Welcome to B.C., and thank you to the firefighters from Mexico joining the fight against wildfires. 🇲🇽🚒 Your support, skill, and dedication mean so much to communities across our province. We're grateful to have you here. 🙏
David Eby@davidebybc.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe’re beyond grateful to our friends and partners in Mexico for sending hundreds of firefighters to B.C. They’re joining a team of roughly 2,000 wildfire service personnel who are working tirelessly to get these fires under control.

David Eby@davidebybc.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe’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

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...
