Grateful to the many who checked in on me after today’s tragic events. I’m ok but I know many who are not. My condolences and thoughts are with those dead and injured. At times like this it is community care that is the best answer to violence. Check in with your loved ones
A number of people have been killed and multiple others are injured after a driver drove into a crowd at a street festival at E. 41st Avenue and Fraser shortly after 8 p.m. tonight. The driver is in custody. We will provide more information as the investigation unfolds.

When people show you who they are, believe them. Brent should be released as a candidate with the BC Conservatives. If he isn’t, it is clear that openly racist candidates are welcomed in their party. #bcpoli

This is what my family went through. So many of my aunts lived this moment. Hearing it recounted brings back lots of sadness. This was the largest layoff of women of color in B.C. history. This is what is at risk for our healthcare workers.
When John Rustad was in government, he fired 10,000 health care workers and hurt the quality of care for seniors. We've delivered decent pay and more job security for people like Harjeet. Because those who care for our loved ones deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour the stolen children, missing and murdered women and all those impacted by colonization. We encourage everyone to learn more about the historical and ongoing injustices Indigenous communities face. #ndtr

Saskatchewan, we have so much potential and opportunity. But under Premier Scott Moe, we're last in Canada when it comes to healthcare and education. You deserve better.

One of my favourite community activists. @InfanteJames truly understands that politics is all about making people’s lives better. So glad to see him endorsing @andreareimer in the #VancouverLittleMountain nomination race @bcndp – at Burnaby, British Columbia
James Infante is a bright light in social innovation. Whether he’s fighting for infrastructure for the Filipino community, supporting workers rights, or helping young leaders navigate city-building & climate change mitigation he brings a smile, incredible energy & results.

You sent us to Ottawa to fight for you and your family.   Now, we’ve used our power to put money back in your pocket with the NDP Dental Care Plan.    We’re going to keep up the pressure and hold the Liberals accountable.

BC and the people of Burnaby Lougheed were lucky to have Katrina as Minister and MLA. Thank you for your service, our communities are so much better for it. 💕
We've all made decisions that have profoundly changed our lives, or even ourselves. I have – like working for the community I love for the past 17 years. Next year will mark my 10th year in elected positions, and I've decided not to seek re-election in 2024. Thank you all. 💛

It’s been a long-standing desire to have a physical space for the #FilipinoCommunity to celebrate our heritage & gather. This is an important first-step towards creating a community space that gives the Filipino diaspora a place to call home news.gov.bc.ca/28575 @lanapopham – at Vancouver, British Columbia
