It’s Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Here are some quick facts you should know:
Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.
When caught early, the survival rate is over 90%.
Early stages often have no symptoms, which is why screening is important.
Yesterday, Iftar dinner here at the legislature.
Iftar is meal after sunset where friends and families get together to break their fast during Ramadan. First with some dates and water, then the feast begins.
It’s our diversity that make BC special.

Last week, we kicked off the 100 day countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In 2022, we saw the Canadian men’s team shock the entire world by qualifying and competing at our second ever World Cup; the first time in 36 years.
I know the boys will make us proud.

This morning, I spoke with Ken Kilcullen
from Vista Radio in Kelowna about the future of our forests.
From commercial thinning and BCTS, to international partners, to forest sector transformations. We covered much of what the vision is for forestry in BC.

It was a pleasure to meet with federal Minister @timhodgsonmt today.

2 new commercial thinning sales in the Prince George area!
A direct impact of our BCTS review. We are increasing sales, year by year, but we are doing so in a more sustainable way.
More local jobs. fibre for local mills, and improving forest health.

Firefighters — They fight wild blazes in the bush, scale apartments to rescue families, and venture into houses without knowing what awaits them.

Proud to support our firefighters

While we work to expand and improve everything from education to healthcare, the opposition seems to be forgetting their own history.
They did one thing to our essential services. Cuts, cuts, and more cuts.
We will always fight to protect British Columbians.

As of late 2025, BC is outperforming the rest of Canada in domestic exports in the international market.
We are talking about almost 8% increases when the rest of Canada dropped down 4%.
In other words, yes we are fighting back against tariffs.
#bcpoli
NAFTA Panel has made its verdict: Canada has been a fair trading partner to the US. Something we already knew.
The panel agrees, tariffs on BC lumber are unjustified and punitive.
The best way forward is for our countries to come to the table and negotiate a deal.

When Donald Trump attacks our softwood lumber industry, he’s not attacking trees. He’s attacking families, paycheques, and communities in British Columbia.
We will not let Trump dictate the future of BC forestry workers.
