BC's DST public consultation was one of the largest in our history: +90% of ~223,000 British Columbians were supportive of ending the time change.
With that level of public support, it's no surprise that the NDP chose this issue as their "channel changer" after weeks of bad press from Budget 2026.
CBC airing Olympic hockey meant a shortened on-air #BCpoli panel but we made up for it with an extended podcast edition covering #Budget2026 as well as an in-depth debate about the NDP's decision to scrap the Office of the Merit Commissioner.

Discussing Prime Minister Mark Carney's big speech at Davos:
"I've got to say, as someone who was a speechwriter in a former life, it's not just about the text, it's about the delivery. The way that Carney stood up and delivered this, backed by his credentials, is what made this stand out."
My piece in the @vancouversun.bsky.social today on why Stargate's return after 14 years will be a litmus test for whether Vancouver's film & television industry can remain competitive in the Trump era & why #Stargate is worth B.C. fighting for it. #BCpoli #CDNpoli

BC Cons leadership drama, a surprise day early end of the Fall sitting of the Legislature, and much more! There's lots to talk about in #BCpoli this week!
Make sure to tune in for a special Thursday Edition of the CBC Radio Victoria Political Panel w/ @gregorcraigie.bsky.social tomorrow at 7:40am.
All 17 seasons of #Stargate (354 episodes across 3 series) and 2 movies were shot here in British Columbia.
I hope that @annekangburnaby.bsky.social is working with sector reps like CreativeBC and the MPPIA to make sure that this great franchise, so deeply tied to B.C., returns home. #BCpoli
This is a big loss, @richardzussman.bsky.social is an icon in #BCpoli. It was a pleasure working with you throughout my time at the @bclegislature.bsky.social & I'll forever be grateful for the help & insights you were able to provide when I took over the role of Press Secretary for the Opposition.
This morning we discussed lumber tariffs, bail reform, & B.C.'s healthcare crisis on the CBC Victoria political panel w/ @gregorcraigie.bsky.social! #BCpoli

Super excited to stumble upon a new book by one of my favourite history authors, @vermontgmg.bsky.social, at Bolen Books! #InstantPurchase
CBC Victoria debuted the new lineup for their weekly political panel this morning.
I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining fellow panelists @adampolsen.bsky.social & Elizabeth Cull on Friday mornings as we discuss all things #BCpoli with host @gregorcraigie.bsky.social!
My thoughts in the Saturday Edition of the @timescolonist.bsky.social on what those of us in the political sphere can do to push back on the increasingly toxic atmosphere of partisan politics in the western world. #BCpoli #CDNpoli

I spent 8 yrs working in a coalition of Liberal & Conservative supporters in #BCpoli, so let me remind #CDNpoli partisans:
The views of many voters this #Elxn2025 align with mine, between the two. Demonizing Canadians for leaning the "other" way is a losing strategy. Keep it civil.
Great to attend my friend Jo-Ann Roberts' launch of her book "Storm the Ballot Box" in #VictoriaBC last night! Released just in time for the #CDNpoli election!
I'm looking forward to reading her suggestions on how we can increase political engagement and voter turnout here in Canada. #Democracy
Great to fill in for @bushfield.ca this week on the PolitiCoast Podcast to discuss U.S. tariffs on Canada, new Prime Minister @markjcarney.bsky.social, Canadian military procurement, drama and defections from the BC Conservatives, and much more! #BCpoli #CDNpoli

Flower arrangement spotted in #VictoriaBC.
Happy #FlagDay2025!
Moving tributes at John Horgan's memorial service yesterday. All speakers touched upon his sense of humour. Even when us BC Liberals were holding his feet to the fire, he could still make us laugh. That was his gift.
Thank you for your service & all the laughs, John! May your memory be a blessing.
