    I call on @RBC to stop using misguided and objectionable rankings prepared by the Fraser Institute with outdated information to suggest some neighbourhoods are less desirable in which to buy a home. 1/3

    Enough is enough. The fear mongering and spreading false information needs to stop. This is not a BC plan. We have requested a correction and retraction.

    As part of our commitment to lasting and meaningful reconciliation in B.C. I am excited to announce with @FNESC a new grad requirement starting in the 23/24 school year that will ensure all #bced secondary students complete Indigenous-focused coursework before they graduate. 1/3

    I’ve advocated for women’s right to choose for decades, including in the movement that defeated federal conservative attempts to criminalize abortion in 1990. Abortion is health care. Tired of having to fight this, but we are never going back.
    It’s 2024. Someone who wants to be Premier of B.C. should be able to say they’re pro-choice.

    As many return from Spring Break, the personal choice to wear a mask will be supported and treated with respect. Those who travelled outside Canada must follow federal travel rules, including wearing a mask in public spaces such as schools and child care for 14 days upon return.

    Some personal news. I’m seeking the #NewWest NDP nomination and it’s an honour that so many of you have urged me to take this step. I am inspired, energized & more than ready to work for New West in a re-elected John Horgan government. JenniferWhiteside.ca #bcpoli

    Wonderful to connect w/ 400 school trustees @BCSTAnews Academy. Trustees have shown tremendous leadership throughout the pandemic, working to ensure students can learn safely safely in the classroom. I look forward to building our relationship in the years to come. #BCED

    Women have fought for decades for the right to make decisions about their own bodies. We’re never going back.
    John Rustad's candidates are taking a page out of the Trump playbook. We should be protecting and increasing access to abortion, but too many of Rustad's candidates have spoken up against it. That’s a risk we can’t afford. Watch the our latest ad.

    B.C’s provincial K-12 education partners, public & independent, are standing together to ensure every school is a place where all students are welcomed, included & respected in a safe learning environment. These are our shared values. #bced #SOGI
