We are in Victoria, where we will have a private members bill introduced for us tomorrow by @SoniaFurstenau and @BCGreens , we are hoping to have incentives provided for people who retrofit vehicles. #bcpoli
In a world where divisions run deep, the story of @SoniaFurstenau and Chace Barber—CEO, innovator, & logging truck driver—reminds us of the power of dialogue. By listening & finding common ground, they exemplify how combining diverse perspectives drives meaningful change. #bcpoli
“This is a policy of recognition,” said @AdamPOlsen. “We should be proud of that in this province, that we now have a government that is acknowledging and recognizing Indigenous people rather than forcing them into courts to defend their existence.” thetyee.ca/News/2024/04/3…
A little backstory on how Chase (@EdisonMotorsLtd) and I met. vm.tiktok.com/ZMMpujLmT/ Excited to present our private members bill tomorrow!
Enough of the Political games. #bcpoli
Has BC NDP failed to address real drug harms? @ryanpr spoke with @SoniaFurstenau, BC Green Party Leader #BCpoli omny.fm/shows/cfax-107…
Forever chemicals (PFAs) pose a serious health risk, however, they're found in 1/2 of all menstrual products. Governments need to stand up for women's health & #BanPFAs 👉 Learn more in @SoniaFurstenau 's recent interview w/ @CBCGloria 🎙️#bcpoli cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
What do MLAs do all day? Here’s a recap of some of the work we did last week, in addition to our legislative work debating bills, asking questions in budget estimates and Question Period, and consulting with experts on upcoming legislation. I love my job!
We owe it to every worker, past and present, to ensure they’re protected from harm. It took 50 years between us knowing the risks of asbestos and banning it; it cannot take govt that long to address other risks, like PFAS in firefighter gear, or a workers’ right to clean air.

To reduce public drug use and solve the toxic drug crisis, we need to repair the social safety net.
Thanks @SoniaFurstenau & @BCGreens this is much more accurate. #bcpoli
Really looking forward to seeing Chase and the @EdisonMotorsLtd team, and introducing our private members bill! ⚡️🚛 instagram.com/reel/C6ULGZpPj…
Had a great time at the Khalsa celebration and parade today! Thanks to all the volunteers who helped put this on.

Now often Unit Managers aren't RN's and haven't a clue what being short staffed entails (they are only there during 8 hour weekdays) 1/2
@RegimeChangeBC @EdisonMotorsLtd @SoniaFurstenau @BCGreens From what I see, lower emissions is a side effect of having a better performing truck that costs less to run. It's honestly the perfect application for electrification! Throw in the focus in Right to Repair, and this team is winning for the everyday worker!
@SoniaFurstenau Great, great question @SoniaFurstenau Everyone across the political spectrum should be asking this question. The bureaucracy is out of control & funds need to be re-allocated to front like health care.
@SoniaFurstenau This is what an opposition MLA should be doing, asking meaningful questions "With this kind of unchecked spending and a void where results should be, there’s a question of HOW money is being spent"
@SoniaFurstenau 1980s tv told me Gorbachev problem was 1 administrator for 11 workers. Too much bureaucracy! I counted my school district and found we had 1 administrator to 9 teachers. I mentioned to our superintendent. His defence was, ‘We’re not as bad as Burns Lake.’
@SoniaFurstenau Well done! With facts 👍 The BC MoH needs constant auditing.
Yes - ALL workers right to clean air - safe workspaces!
We owe it to every worker, past and present, to ensure they’re protected from harm. It took 50 years between us knowing the risks of asbestos and banning it; it cannot take govt that long to address other risks, like PFAS in firefighter gear, or a workers’ right to clean air.
Thanks @SoniaFurstenau & @BCGreens this is much more accurate. #bcpoli
This is how it should be in every public space especially schools. #CleanAir @SoniaFurstenau @Dave_Eby @KevinFalcon
Latvia (population 1.9 M) monitors the indoor air quality of 14,000 classrooms in 875 schools. CO2 levels, temperature and relative humidity can be viewed freely online at: co2.mesh.lv It is one of the most advanced countries in this field and a source of inspiration.
Re-upping this interview that @SoniaFurstenau had yesterday with @GregorCraigie regarding the toxic drug crisis. Half measures won't save lives. #bcpoli
Some problems can be solved with a 10-word answer, but the toxic drug crisis definitely isn’t one of them. Grateful to @GregorCraigie for the opportunity to spend more time talking decriminalization and harm reduction on @CBContheisland. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
@JoeyMerrin @bcgreencaucus @SoniaFurstenau @AdamPOlsen You all are on 🔥Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks to @SoniaFurstenau for making the time to meet with UBCM's Executive this week, collaborating on priority issues of housing, community safety, and infrastructure. #bcpoli
Ensuring clean air would perhaps be the most impactful public health intervention of our generation. Makes tons of sense medically & economically & would take a massive burden off the strained healthcare system. Zero downsides. Make it law. Bravo @SoniaFurstenau and @AdamPOlsen.
@LancePManion @SoniaFurstenau Good that we're getting rain, true, but the woods are weirdly dry already on Vancouver Island.
@SoniaFurstenau Bad air quality is killing kids in BC. cjme.com/2024/04/25/mom…
@aforagershome I’m in Kamloops. It seems like the lower mainland is BC. They usually forget the rest of us.
So confused why everyone commenting on this seems to think the whole province is Vancouver Island. We’ve had no meaningful precipitation in 100 Mile for ages.
As British Columbia faces its first wildfire evacuation of the year, the BC Greens are calling on the BC NDP to immediately ban open burning and campfires.
@BlakeMacKenzie2 @SoniaFurstenau Much of the Province is dry & it is where I’m at despite a bit of rain. You might be dampened but overall it could be a bad year ( again ) . So, before you throw insults you should know the facts . There’s a shitload of fires already . Some burn all year. Think before you talk.
@BlakeMacKenzie2 @SoniaFurstenau Actually it's pretty dry here on the island. I know it's raining today in Victoria, but I've already seen a small campfire migrate out of the fire pit and start to spread this week. It was put out in seconds but that's a fair bit earlier than usual to see that happen.
Three more weeks to go, @bcgreencaucus puts in the grind. Private Members' Bills alone this session exemplify just how hard @SoniaFurstenau and @AdamPOlsen work for British Columbians
