Jumped into the work right away, of course, but returning to my office in the BC Legislature tonight to find this plaque on my door made it all land. Wow, what an honour.

Having someone come up to you on the street to say, "you need a history lesson on this because you don't know this as a New Canadian," followed by an exceptionally racist explanation of the history of an entire people is an experience I give 0 stars to.

51% of sitting BC NDP MLAs will be women! An historic achievement overshadowed only by the time our party elected 100% women to the BC Legislature in 2001. 🙃

Of the 57 NDP MLAs (either won or leading), 29 are women. I think this is the first time a political party in BC has had more women then men in caucus. Correct me if I am wrong. #bcpoli

The Teck decision is a terrible turning point. Like Energy East, they were forced by ludicrously weak and confused fed policy to withdraw. Who will invest in Canada now??

@BowinnMa Very legit question. We’re having our second who’s 6mos old. No way my wife can work on legislation stuff, while tending to baby needs. You be neglecting either one or the other. It’s a matter of time available in a day.

Marcelina Perdido Agulay 👒 was a kind, principled, fearless organizer for the marginalized working class. She was killed yesterday in a collision with a drunk driver. I'm personally devastated and there are no words to express the depth of this loss to our movement. 💔 #NorthVan

Even as we drive down emissions with CleanBC, extreme weather events due to climate change will continue to impact British Columbians. In recognition of this, Premier @Dave_Eby has asked me to lead our new Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. (1/4)

I caught myself telling a neighbour the other day that I felt "fortunate" to have "only" had to report threats to police about half a dozen times or so during my 3.5 years as MLA. We're conditioned to think this is normal and okay, but it's not. #NorthVan

To the driver behind me wearing out their horn, trying to force me to complete my left turn: I know you can't see them, or maybe you don't care, but there are pedestrians using the crosswalk and a cyclist approaching the intersection. Cool your jets, this isn't Frogger. #NorthVan

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Fuel prices are spiking all over the world as markets react to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. This is now the 3rd war-related issue that the BC Liberals have tried to take advantage of for their own party's benefit and it's disgusting.

Gas prices hit $2/litre - highest in North America! The NDP needs to stop the tax grab and make the carbon tax revenue neutral again. At a time when the cost of living keeps getting higher and higher, British Columbian families deserve a break. #bcpoli
