Whether talking about COVID or our overdose crisis, Dr. Bonnie Henry is evidence-based, people-centred, and compassionate. This is a combo we should all emulate and everything I want to be #whenigrowup

Did you know that Victoria has the most trans, non binary, and gender diverse people living in our community in the whole country? I’m here to celebrate it. Love and drag over hate every single day.

We know women have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. As we mark #IWD we must both recognize the challenges and losses, and celebrate those who have stepped up during the global pandemic. Read my op-ed here👇

Snowy day down at the @BCLegislature - spent the last couple of days connecting with partners, learning and listening. Grateful to get down to work on some of the most important work government does in the Ministry of Children and Family.

Misleading voters is 💯 unacceptable. In this and in every election do your research, get informed, & make a plan to vote. And protect trans kids and queer families. #bcpoli #yyjpoli #yyj

Does this mean Falcon and the BC liberals are ready to admit it was wrong & cruel to cancel funding to women's centres? That the cuts damaged communities & hurt survivors? That advocates and service providers spent 1.5 decades grinding to keep communities safe? We need to hear it

I’m proud to support women, work with women and raise two beautiful young girls, but there is still work to be done. This #IWD2022 , let’s work together to promote the role of women globally, which is key to realizing much-needed economic and social advancements around the world.

Reading the news this morning on #cdnpoli , I’m remind that we aren’t having these discussions/debates/arguments here in BC because everyone of 87 MLAs is vaccinated and all continue to do the work of encouraging vaccinations in their community! Yay #bcpoli ! 🙌🏼 in all directions

People (not doctors) know their gender - and that's all the confirmation we, as government, need. We also recognize that this requirement created a barrier to accessing gender-affirming identification and can create unsafe and potentially traumatizing situations.
