Many of us have friends and family in the United States. And few of us have lived through a time when Canada and the United States were not strong trading partners and allies. This is part of what makes U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s tariff’s so distressing.

In British Columbia, there is a shared commitment to ensure that the province is a place where the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples are recognized, and Indigenous Peoples can thrive.

I’ve been getting this question a lot lately: Why forestry? With all of the challenges on the horizon, what made you ask Premier David Eby for this task?

The Province continues to enhance B.C.'s response to the toxic-drug crisis.

On July 11, 2024, Canada and the U.S. reached a milestone in the process of modernizing the Columbia River Treaty – an agreement-in-principle (AIP) that sets the stage for an improved treaty that supports people and ecosystems on both sides of the border.

We are proud of British Columbia’s diversity. It’s a big part of what makes our province such a great place to live. Canadians of South Asian heritages have origins in nations such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan with a diaspora as far-reaching as Fiji, Africa, the Caribbean and further. South Asian immigration to B.C. has been integral to the growth and success of our province.
