We are proud to announce our BuildBC campaign - a common sense commitment to building all public projects at home in BC. The NDP sends your money overseas, that is not right. BuildBC will unleash our economy and deliver quality jobs for British Columbians. Let’s get building!
GoFundMe healthcare — that’s what BC families get under David Eby’s NDP. This government should be ashamed to see Charleigh Pollock’s parents begging online for treatment — this should not be happening in British Columbia. What happens when it’s your kid who can’t get medicine?

Great to connect with supporters and small business owners in Vancouver, community members in Richmond, and stop for pint with some new and old friends!
Great to meet with business owners from the Aquaculture industry in North Island. We need to double our food production in British Columbia and support jobs here at home! Thank you to @DrKindyMLA and @AaronGunn for the warm welcome to the region.
Yet another BC NDP misinformation campaign from the lame duck Premier who brought us GoFundMe Healthcare. Unlike the BC NDP — Conservatives will build ALL of the projects that Surrey needs. Surrey needs new bigger bridges, a new maternity ward and women’s hospital, and more…
When Conservatives talk about cuts, this is what they mean. Cancel the bridges we’re building. Halt the hospitals underway. Abandon people in communities desperate for new services. Now is the time to build more — not less.
I will never apologize for saying the world will be a better place when more folks learn to behave like great Canadians! Ours is a culture of decency, respect & fairness. Canadians work hard, we play by the rules & we look after family, friends & community. I love BC & Canada!
Don Cherry was right all along. Canadians should expect people who move to our country to wear a poppy on remembrance day, respect our traditions, and learn & share our customs & values. It’s dead simple, if you want to come live here in Canada— learn to behave like a Canadian.

Six years after his departure from Hockey Night in Canada, it’s worth remembering the heights of Don Cherry’s celebrity, renown and respect nationalpost.com/feature/don-ch…
David Eby and his Health Minister denied a dying girl life-enhancing medication, forcing her family to rely on GoFundMe health care. It was the people of BC who forced this government to apologize and reinstate funding. Hear @JohnRustad4BC discuss this case with @MikeSmythNews
This is fantastic news. I want to thank everyday British Columbians for speaking out and fighting for Charleigh. Because of your voices — and the relentless pressure from Charleigh’s parents — BC’s NDP & David Eby has restored necessary drug coverage for 10-year-old Charleigh…
Update: WE DID IT. THE GOVERNMENT BACKED DOWN. #bcpoli
David Eby sent your tax dollars to China and sold out BC workers — then left 9-year-old Charleigh Pollock to beg strangers for GoFundMe healthcare. That’s his BC. This shuffle is just a cheap distraction.
NEW - @Dave_Eby shuffles his cabinet - 2 new faces, 3 demotions. - Osborne survives as health minister - Diana Gibson demoted from jobs to citizens' services. - Ravi Kahlon moved from housing to jobs/economic growth - Garry Begg demoted from solicitor general to parl sec Surrey…
Time for Eby & BC NDP to FINALLY do the right thing— give 9yr old Charleigh Pollock the medicine she needs. Scary that it has to get this bad to get the BC NDP & Eby to *maybe* do the right thing. It shouldn’t take a GoFundMe or vouching from US doctors to get healthcare in BC.
NEW - 13 expert U.S. doctors in Batten Disease have written a joint letter to @Josie_Osborne @Dave_Eby saying gov is using the wrong scoring, science and evaluation to discontinue Brineura for Charleigh Pollock. Doctors from hospitals in New York, Columbus, Baltimore, Denver,…
Eby can’t shuffle away HIS decision to force 9yr old Charleigh Pollock to start a GoFundMe to get healthcare. Eby can’t shuffle away HIS decision to send BC Ferry building jobs to China. So the real question is — how many NDP cabinet ministers does it take to change a Premier?
NEW - @Dave_Eby is expected to shuffle his cabinet tomorrow.
Eby & BC NDP said buying ferries from China was about saving time and money. Now Canada’s putting tariffs on Chinese steel— so much for the saving money. We could’ve built our ferries right here in BC, supported BC workers, and kept our money in BC. Our workers deserve better.
PM Carney in Hamilton today, announcing Canada will tighten steel quotas on countries without free trade agreements and put 50% tariffs on amounts beyond that, review steel imports from countries that melt and pour steel in China.
Praying for your little one Brad
As a parent of a child with a rare blood disorder, maybe I’m not in the right headspace to say this—but I need to. Isn’t one of the fundamental roles of elected government to offset the cold, cruel indifference of bureaucracy? Shouldn’t our elected officials be the ones who…
What is the point of even electing a government, if they are going to hide behind bureaucrats on every decision. David Eby needs to man up and do the right thing. With a snap of his fingers, Eby can give Charleigh Pollock the medicine she needs to have a decent quality of life.
Buck passing by the minister. Stands by the earlier refusal to continue medication. But refers questions from reporters to Canada Drug Agency. Claims this was a tough decision for her. Yet she mostly hid behind decisions by the bureaucrats.
Bailey McCourt's death is unacceptable and tragic and it was preventable. Now her children must grow up without their mother. The system failed her. *We need a coroner's inquest. *We need bail reform. *We need faster court processes and a sense of urgency around domestic…
David Eby talks tough on US tariffs while making BC more dependent on American trade. The NDP let trade collapse with global partners — and weakened our position on the world stage.
This is an extraordinary time we are living in — Canada’s greatest ally is treating us like an enemy. I abhor these wrongful, unjust tariffs that only serve to hurt everyday hardworking Canadians and Americans. My heart is with working families who will be forced to make…

I am pleased to welcome @JohnRustad4BC , Leader of the @Conservative_BC , to my beautiful riding of Richmond–Bridgeport for a wonderful meet and greet with constituents and supporters. Grateful for his strong leadership and proud to stand with him in the fight against the NDP…
My thoughts and prayers are with Brent Chapman and his family as he faces a battle with cancer. This is a battle that my family knows entirely too well, given my wife Kim’s experience. I know that Brent can fight this with the help of BC healthcare workers — we’re all with him.
Please take a moment to read the full statement. Your continued support means the world to me. 💙🙏 Brent Chapman, MLA Surrey South #SurreySouth #BrentChapman #BCPoli #StrongerTogether #ThankYou @BCConservCaucus
