It was tremendous to be out celebrating Vaisakhi today, connecting with community members, hearing their stories, and being a part of such an important day for Sikhs around the world. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share what matters most to you and your families. If you haven't had a chance, sign up for a BC Conservative membership today - conservativebc.ca/black/

Let me assist in the clearing up the mystery: “Not me.” It is the obligation of the Opposition to hold the government to account. Given the current dysfunction created in B.C. by the NDP, “hold to account” = “bring them down”. I fully support our B.C. Conservative MLAs in fulfilling this solemn duty, regardless of how disruptive it might be on our internal contest to pick a new leader. The needs of our province are far more urgent. Our campaign's success in both selling memberships and raising money leaves little doubt that the broader population will support us in a General Election, to bring an end to DRIPA, SOGI, and get B.C. back on track. I will play whatever role is required (in a writ scenario) to propel our team into government. Bring them down.

I get asked by a lot of people why I decided to leave the business community and put my hat back in the ring for politics - I’m doing it for my kids. My kids are part of a generation that should be able to buy a home in British Columbia, but they can’t. That’s not by accident. It’s the result of years of decisions that haven’t worked and it’s exactly why experience matters right now. We can’t afford more of the same. We need leadership that understands how to fix this and the urgency to do it. The deadline is approaching fast to sign up to vote for me - become a member of the BC Conservative Party today: conservativebc.ca/black/ #BCPoli #housing

@tdurgan13 @IcyVert I would argue that the first row of the 200s, between the blue lines, are about the best seat sightlines in the NHL.

@IcyVert Moved to Calgary for the year and went to a few games last year. Pros: “basement beers” something about the way they’re stored in the basement makes the beer strong, incredible crowd, history on walls, train Cons: seats outside 100s suck, parking is meh, generally needs a reno

I'm headed to my first NHL game in Calgary. So naturally, I looked up the Saddledome's reputation then fell down a rabbit hole of the most divisive stadiums... Here's what I found. 🧵

Join me and the team at Kelly O’Bryan’s in New Westminster after the Juno News debate for our Debate Night Party. Please note that we have changed the venue so our younger supporters can attend. This campaign is gaining momentum and it’s because of the incredible people stepping up across BC. Let’s come together, celebrate, and keep it going. Be there. Join the team. Let’s get BC Back on Track. iainblack.ca/events/debate-…

I WON’T BACK DOWN! The Juno debate is approaching, and I am ready to show why experience matters. If you want BC back on track, this is where it starts. Join my team today - conservativebc.ca/black/

Phones out of classrooms. Focus back on learning. When I am Premier I will ban cell phones in all classrooms. Right now, BC classrooms are competing with some of the most addictive technology ever created and it’s our kids who are paying the price. Declining attention spans. Rising anxiety. Constant disruption. Let's restore classrooms to places to learn, think, and grow. Let's get BC back on track. If you agree, join my team. conservativebc.ca/black/

@ProV1Smile After final exam beer Lunch on the ski hill beer

Spitballing top 5 beers 1. Free beer 2. First beer of the weekend 3. AM airport beer 4. Campfire beer 5. Shower beer Taking input. Never afraid of constructive criticism.

When I am Premier, I will: 1. Bring a vote on the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism to the floor of the Legislative Assembly within the first 2 weeks of the next Legislative session – Either as the government or the Official Opposition. 2. Link Funding for BC Universities to Upholding the rights of their Jewish student body and all other religious groups acting peacefully. Require universities to enforce their code of conduct to protect students from bigotry and physical threats. 3. Immediately approve charges against Charlotte Kates and Samidoun as recommended by the Vancouver Police Department. Additionally, instruct the Attorney General to investigate other groups who have been actively partnering with Samidoun. 4. Adjust the mandatory Holocaust Education to be delivered in grade 8 and include an additional mandatory module about the evolution of antisemitism: From medieval to modern. 5. Provide additional funding to Jewish schools, places of worship and institutions to improve security, until the threat level comes down. 6. The creation of a Special Advisor on Jewish Community & Antisemitism. 7. Antisemitism training for law enforcement, politicians and public service employees. 8. Work with the Provincial Firearms Officer to ensure that licensed armed security can be employed to protect Jewish institutions. Together, we will get BC back on track - conservativebc.ca/black/

In short, “RISK” is becoming the ballot question of this campaign. “With all the risk in our province/ society, can we take the risk of electing an untested candidate?” If I am right, prepare for a shift to stability and experience solving problems. 10/10

MP Scott Anderson has posted his thoughts on the BC Conservative Leadership race. For him, the clear choice is @iainblackbc !! (link to his full analysis below)

When you are going through a long search for a job you can feel like you aren’t good enough or that you don’t add value. When I look at my dogs and I see how kind and gentle they are, when I look at this tiny kitten who went from dirty and scared to happy and bounding around and napping with my dogs, I know that I’ve done something right.

@FredDeLorey It's very good. Sometimes I add a few drops of pure vanilla extract as well.

Ok. I'm doing it. Trying maple syrup instead of refined sugar in my coffee this AM.

More than 400 people turned out in Winkler today for our town hall on Bill C-9 with MP @AndrewLawton. At a time when the Liberals and Bloc are seeking to remove the long-standing safeguard in the Criminal Code that protects Canadians’ ability to express good-faith opinions based on religious texts, it’s more important than ever that people speak up. Today’s strong turnout shows just how much folks in our region and beyond care about protecting freedom of religion and freedom of expression. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out to ask questions and share their concerns. Together, we will keep fighting to ensure these fundamental freedoms are upheld.

Age yourself by naming an NHL goalie you grew up watching. I’ll start: Carey Price.

Poilievre literally explained that he wasn’t going to D.C. out of respect for the Canadian Prime Minister’s negotiating mandate on CUSMA. Whoever wrote this headline is an anti-@CPC_HQ ignorant jackass.
