“You can’t build a provincial economy on whale watching and coffee shops.” We need to be a province that builds, makes and creates. We need a provincial industrial strategy and we need to get serious about the loss of industrial land to real estate speculation. Once industrial land is converted to other uses, it is extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to get it back. And without that land, where exactly do we expect the next generation of manufacturers, skilled tradespeople and industrial employers to go? This is one of the most consequential challenges we face in British Columbia, with a lot of damage already done. I hope the new government makes it an urgent priority.
Do you have the video clip where you said "You cannot build an economy on whale watching and coffee shops"? Want to use it for this week's podcast episode. I suspect it'll go viral LOL 📈

Crime statistics can affect confidence. If people don’t feel safe, they change where they shop, work, gather & invest their time & money. Survey warning: declining confidence has consequences well beyond reported crime. saveourstreets.ca/wp-content… #BCSaveOurStreets #Crime #BC

Highlighting some crime that likely didn’t happen today thanks to the solid proactive work of VPD Constables Richmond and Dogra in the wee hours this morning. While patrolling Gastown and Chinatown, they recognized a prolific BNE offender who was out well past his court-imposed curfew. The suspect has more than 275 documented interactions with police and eight property-crime convictions since 2024. His curfew was imposed following a January 2026 BNE charge in which he stole $1,300 in cash and jewellery from a Mount Pleasant business. Thankfully 🙏that business owner gave their time to support the court process, helping ensure appropriate conditions were imposed—and giving #VPD the tools to intervene when those conditions were breached, preventing the next victim. #CrimePrevention #VPD
