British Columbia is central to building a more prosperous Canada. This afternoon, Premier-designate @LDoerkson and I discussed how we can seize major economic opportunities across the province, build out infrastructure, and unlock our full potential as an energy superpower. Building British Columbia and Canada strong, for all.

Productive conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney today. We are aligned on the need to supercharge our economy, attract investment, and create good-paying jobs. British Columbia has an enormous role to play in driving Canada's economic future, and we are ready to lead. When British Columbia succeeds, Canada succeeds. READOUT: PREMIER-ELECT LORNE DOERKSON'S CALL WITH PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY October 27, 2026 Earlier today, the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier designate of British Columbia had a virtual meeting setting out a plan for cooperation in support of BC and Canadian growth. In the conversation, there was agreement to work together to increase growth and economic opportunities for BC and Canada. On LNG and natural gas, there was a joint desire to ensure the right investable and competitive conditions are created to maximize private sector investment. On investment strategy, there was alignment to work together to attract capital to BC. Overall, the Prime Minister and Premier Designate indicated their joint desire for a strong partnership inclusive of all British Columbians that can supercharge hope and opportunities for the province. The Premier Designate offered his commitment to work together on various challenges including managing trade risks and opportunities to ensure prosperity for the country from coast, to coast to coast. There was also alignment on the need for progressing improved infrastructure and services in BC and to work these issues further through the transition and establishment of BC’s new government.

PSA to 🇺🇸: Don't claim any new 🇨🇦 allies for your cause as #bcpoli leaders agree: "Trump does represent an incredible threat to this province & this nation ... It is absurd to think I would be supportive of a bully south of the border." - New Premier Lorne Doerkson, CBC-Sept 26

The Canada we have is the only one I've ever known — and the only one I want for my kids: together, strong and free. 🇨🇦 Le Canada que nous habitons est le seul que j'aie connu — et le seul que je veux pour mes enfants : uni, fort et libre.

Former @COPEVancouver mayoral candidate going after David Eby on $10 daycare. Maybe the @bcndp are supporting @rebeccaleebligh after all and not @PtFry.....
After failing to deliver on $10/day child care, the Premier’s choices are hypocritical. “What’s newsworthy here is not that Premier Eby has access to $10aDay child care - but rather that not every family does.” 10aday.ca/statement_on_david…

There’s a faction of Vancouver’s left that seems more interested in demonizing success than creating more of it (unless it’s their homies). Everything becomes a class war. That’s Pete fry. That’s COPE. But they need to remember that the public services and govt jobs they champion depend on a healthy tax base, supported by businesses, investment and economic growth. That includes the arts too. And what gets missed is that public safety is economic policy too. Small businesses can’t thrive when employees feel unsafe coming to work, customers avoid certain neighbourhoods and owners are left dealing with street disorder. Why does Pete Fry not take the danger to public safety seriously? Why won’t he listen to the small business owners. Many who are women and also have women customer bases? That’s why the public safety plebiscite deserves a serious conversation about open-air hard drug use, treatment, recovery and the future of our neighbourhoods. And the news orgs need to be better cuz right now they fail to adequately cover this topic and are complicit in not holding folks accountable . You can believe in compassion, fairness and a strong social safety net while also supporting entrepreneurs, economic growth and safe streets.

Streamlining processes. Removing duplication. Saving Canadians and businesses time and money. We’re cutting red tape so Canada can build at the speed and scale this moment demands.

Nice guy. But personality doesn’t run Vancouver. 3 Pete Fry votes you should know about: - Two chances to add police. Said no twice. - Overdose site across from a kids’ playground. Voted yes. - Ballot question on public hard drug use. Walked out. Vote Oct 17. #vanpoli

As a woman and a rape survivor, I was brought to tears reading the horrific accounts of the UK grooming gang scandals. Young girls were subjected to unimaginable sexual abuse, while authorities at multiple levels failed to protect them. I was heartbroken, horrified, and angry. I abhor the people who perpetuated that violence justified by their extremist ideology. I took down my original post within hours because my anger was directed at the extremism used to justify these horrific crimes, not at Muslims or their faith.

ਇਹ ਚੋਣ ਬਹੁਤ ਨੇੜੇ ਦੀ ਟੱਕਰ ਹੋਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ @KenSimCity ਅਤੇ @Vote4ABC ਨੂੰ ਵੋਟ ਪਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ। ਜੇ ਪੀਟ ਫਰਾਈ ਮੇਅਰ ਬਣ ਗਏ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਸਨਸੈੱਟ ਵਿਖੇ ਬਣਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਪੂਲ ਰੱਦ ਕਰ ਦੇਣਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਊਥ ਵੈਨਕੂਵਰ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਨਿਵੇਸ਼ ਵਾਪਸ ਲੈ ਲੈਣਗੇ। #southvan #abc #vanpoli

This election is going to be close. I'm voting for @KenSimCity and @Vote4ABC. If Pete Fry becomes Mayor, he will cancel the pool at Sunset and take investments out of South Vancouver. #southvan #abc #vanpoli
