Hate crime, violence, and intimidation is not in any way legitimate protest or political statement. Attacking places of worship or learning for a people because of their ancestry or faith is racism and hate. It must never be excused for any reason. tinyurl.com/35netj7c

The divisive, racist attitudes and statements just keep coming - even on election night. We choose our political family. @PeterMilobar @elenoresturko @TrevHal @IanPatonDelta @Teresa_Wat @LDoerkson - Are these really the people you want by your side, the people you will support?

It’s not like this set of racist statements and views is one-off for Rustad’s caucus. There’s a frightening pattern here for people who ask to be trusted with governing B.C.

I’m deeply sorry to hear that Wendy’s volunteers were subjected to such racism. There is no tolerance for this kind of hate in our communities.

The stakes are high. While David Eby and the BC NDP are building hospitals, recruiting doctors, and hiring nurses, John Rustad is proposing a $4.1 billion cut to healthcare, making it harder for people to get the care they need.

BC renters are seeing the "largest annual decline" in Canada for one—and two-bedroom apartment costs. According to a new report, it's the lowest drop in three years. dailyhive.com/vancouver/rent…

Our kids deserve better than John Rustad’s terrifying education plan. He’ll cut lesson plans that include the science of climate change. The BC NDP can stop it — but we need your help. Let’s do this together, for my kids, for yours, for future of our province. #BCPoli

Brent Chapman’s views are fundamentally incompatible with serving in elected office. That John Rustad has not fired this candidate is the epitome of weak leadership.

The BC Conservative plan to get rid of rent controls would push seniors, and many more out onto the streets. We need more housing (record numbers of new homes now under construction), and to keep renters secure in their homes.
Not supporting rent control in a riding with 59.4% renters is incredibly concerning and should be for Yaletown voters. Yaletown deserves a government that will fight to make housing more affordable and not just let the market decide.

Lots of good energy and good support for @SusieChant_nvs
Great evening on the doors for @SusieChant_nvs with @NikiSharma2 the Attorney General tonight! Was also wonderful to see @GeorgeHeyman out in North Van to support Susie as well.

Thoughtful, measured. And clear - just like the choice facing British Columbians this #BCElxn2024 @bcndp #bcpoli
This week I voted in the #BCElxn2024. I voted for @Dave_Eby & @bcndp & if you care about reconciliation & protecting what you love from a changing climate, I hope you do too. It was hard for me. Here is why I did it and why I think it’s important #bcpoli 🧵

Even 4 strikes is not enough for John Rustad to call Brent Chapman out! No principles or leadership here.
We’ve all seen BC Conservative Brent Chapman's racist attacks on Muslims and Indigenous people, and his offensive Holocaust comparison. What hasn't had much attention yet is his horrific ‘joke’ about violence against LGBTQ+ people at Pride.🧵

First, I’m pleased and impressed that all the students stayed not only for the debate but for the follow-up discussion that ran over time. And their comments and observations were sharp, astute and very thoughtful. I’m heading home feeling optimistic about our future!

The largest layoff of women workers happened when John Rustad was in government. I know this because my mom was one of them!!
John Rustad's BC Liberals fired 10,000 health care workers and hurt quality of care for seniors. On his watch, 9 out of 10 care homes did not meet minimum standards. #bcpoli
