@guyfelicella @GlobalBC @bcndp Yes, l know the community well. Glad to hear you support all kinds of recovery options. At least we can agree on that! The local larger community supports Wagner a lot, to reach beyond Langley and get the funding gap closed was the intention of today

@guyfelicella @GlobalBC @bcndp On the operational side, I can’t say for sure if they even want funding? However as an assisted living facility and long term housing, to not get funding for the new facility from either Ministry of Health or BC Housing was frustrating. That’s where the need is greatest

@guyfelicella @GlobalBC @bcndp No. They are an abstinence based program. A fantastic alternative for those who choose that route, like my family did after trying and leaving another facility that wasn’t. Proud to have this long term facility in my community.

A:a:liya working hard for her community, advocating for attention to the issues that matter for the local farmers and by extension, all British Columbians.
Farmers in Chilliwack have devoted their lives to ensure that we, British Columbians, have food on our tables. Meanwhile, the NDP have not delivered on something as simple as keeping the ditches clear, and because of their inaction, entire livelihoods are at stake. No more excuses, no more delays, Chilliwack needs action now!

@KahlonRav You realize that Americans are laughing at us right now, right? If you put more effort into getting fentanyl off the streets than you’ve put into getting bourbon off the shelves in a trade war, we wouldn’t even be in this situation.

John Rustad and the Conservative caucus just released our 10-point plan to address the tariffs. The BC NDPs plan to ban Kentucky bourbon isn't going to do anything for BC. British Columbians need a serious plan. So here it is: 1. Immediately negotiate a Canada Wide Free Trade Agreement. Interprovincial barriers are the equivalent of between a 21 and 25% tariff. Open flow of all goods and commodities, including energy, will help to offset our dependency on the USA. 2. Immediately call back the legislature to implement a Fiscal Emergency Bill. a) Bill should ask for additional fiscal room to implement port and border security measures. b) Bill should identify additional funding to reopen BC’s trade offices foreign countries. c) Bill should suspend all but the essential requirements in the Environment Assessment Act. d)Bill should suspend all but the essential requirements for development permits. e) Bill should implement a quick 3 month review to eliminate as much government wasteful spending as possible to get our fiscal house in order. 3. Work with LNG Canada to immediately advance phase 2 of their Kitimat LNG project. This would inject billions in additional construction activity into BC’s economy. 4. Immediately provide a 10 year extension to the permitting of existing natural gas pipeline projects. 5. Immediately eliminate the Carbon Tax to reduce costs for consumers and businesses. 6. Immediately eliminate the requirement for LNG projects to use electricity for compression. 7. Immediately eliminate the CO2 emissions caps/targets to unleash investments in BC. 8. Work with the Mining Sector to approve and advance the approximate 17 mining projects in BC that are ready to go. This would inject about $36 billion in economic activity during construction, create 10s of thousands of jobs and significantly increase BC’s GDP and revenue. 9. Immediately strike a task force to provide targeted cost reductions for BC’s forest sector. 10. Stop work towards a power line from the Northeast to the Northwest and replace the project with natural gas fired electricity generation directly in the Northwest. This is our plan to #FightForBC.

@thesteephill I never understand the obsession folks have with him. The media, Canadians, Can politicians have been mocking him for years and wonder why he is puffing his chest now. We keep giving oxygen to the fire. The moment for diplomacy has passed. Shift focus to our party’s 10 point plan

Actually, in school, I was taught to go to my friend/neighbour, have a conversation with them, and see how we could resolve our differences. I personally was never taught to throw rocks back, just sayin 🤷♀️
So our official opposition in B.C. - the BC Conservatives - would rather we take hits from Trump, not respond to tariffs, and let that bully roll over us. It’s an appalling take. Trump has already said he won’t negotiate. We learned this lesson in elementary school: you don’t win against a bully by rolling over and showing your belly, you beat them by standing up to them. Glad to know where BC Conservatives stand!

NDP still use money to fix issues, instead of using diplomacy & democracy. We should be in session exercising democracy. We should be in discussions with our neighbour diplomatically. Instead covid era bail out packages and pay-to-play retaliatory tariffs are their solution.

Very thankful to our local @LangleyRCMP for the great work they did to see charges brought in this case.
Police discovered the trafficking operation after a distressed and injured woman called 911 from a gas station near a Langley hotel in 2023.
