When I was elected, my son was struggling with me being away. Premier @jjhorgan showed up unplanned to play Pokémon and to tell him why he needed me in Victoria. He cared for his colleagues families as much as he cared for families across BC. Sending love to his family❤️🙏🏾

Let's talk - more than ever we need to build power in ways authoritarian-leaning govs can't take away from us and that starts with caring for and strengthening the networks we are part of. Also if you're interested, I run a video series on power on LinkedIn. Come see me there.
There is a lot to unpack about the US election, and people surely will, but today feels like its not the day. For one thing, we don't have enough information to do it effectively. And people are hurting and need that hurt to be acknowledged. There are some dark days ahead. 🧵
Daniel Hunter was prepared for this. He wrote: "The key to taking effective action in a Trump world is to avoid perpetuating the autocrat’s goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation." wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-thi…
They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.

Something that makes me very sad is that most women don’t have anyone to do this for them. They take care of everyone else in their lives and then also must take care of themselves too. Many women do not receive anything close to the kinds of caregiving they provide for others
Just to be crystal clear, “I feel fine but my wife made me come in” has a positive predictive value for something being *really* fucking wrong that approaches 100%
Next week the longest serving Deputy Minister of Health in any modern provincial or federal public service, Stephen Brown, retires after serving in the position for 11 years at the BC Ministry of Health! An extraordinary accomplishment across a tumultuous period of health…
Deputy Minister Stephen Brown leaves an extraordinary legacy of public service and very big shoes to fill. I’ve been so grateful to work with, and learn from him, as are countless colleagues across the public sector. Wishing him every happiness in his retirement. @BCPublicService
A Langley Township city councillor will have her hands full now that she’s also been elected to the provincial Legislature in Victoria and has chosen to keep both jobs, rather than step down and trigger a municipal byelection. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/11/01/lan…
