@NVanCaroline Agreed. But can you please comment on your position on the HPOA?? Many of us are waiting before we leave healthcare.

DRIPA needs to be repealed. Not revised. Not reformed. Repealed. But to do that we need to defeat the NDP, and I'm the only BC Conservative candidate who can do it. Join my campaign: WinForBC.ca

@Josie_Osborne Wouldn’t it be great to have an actual healthcare professional as the Minister of Health? Instead, we have had a political science major (Dix), and now a marine biologist.

On March 26th, residents of the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas will now have better access to team‑based primary care with the Port Coquitlam Urgent and Primary Care Centre opening. The centre will welcome people seven days a week, from 9am-8pm, including statutory holidays.

@SusieChant_nvs This is not newsworthy. How many left after mandatory vaccinations and how many more will leave after the HPOA is enacted on April 1st? More than a million people in BC are without doctors and wait lists for specialists are ridiculous.

B.C. is becoming a top destination for health-care professionals! One year after launching our U.S. recruitment campaign: ✔️ 400+ professionals hired ✔️ 2,750+ applications received ✔️ 1,300+ registered to practise in B.C. Read more 👉news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026H…

@MLABrennanDay Hiring 400 US healthcare workers is not going to make up for the 100's fleeing BC after the HPOA is enacted on April 1st.

Headline: “Hundreds recruited.” Reality: 400 hires over a year. ~40/month. Province-wide. ERs still closing. Maternity wards still shutting down. At what point does media stop echoing NDP talking points and start asking basic questions?

@Josie_Osborne @Dave_Eby And yet 1.35 million BCers are without a primary care physician and our ERs are overrun or closed. And more to come with the HPOA on April 1st.

One year ago, our government launched our campaign to attract U.S healthcare professionals. As of today, more than 400 have signed on to work in B.C communities big and small, urban and rural with many more are on the way. #BCHealthCare @Dave_Eby

@TaraArmstrongBC Given that approximately 27% of BCers (or 1.35 million) do NOT have doctors, this is hardly newsworthy.

You fired about 7x that many healthcare workers with your unscientific COVID mandates. You celebrated as wave after wave of immigrants flooded into understaffed hospitals. You broke our healthcare system and 89 US doctors won’t fix it. Resign.

@JohnRustad4BC I have sent messages to all of the candidates; not a single one has responded. This is worrying. Healthcare workers are leaving in two weeks when the HPOA is enacted, myself included.

NDP BILL 36: if you’re a professional in B.C. and you don’t agree with the prevailing orthodoxy on issues like child transitioning, SOGI, or safer supply, you’re stepping into a system that now has far more power over you than it used to. Bill 36 doesn’t need to explicitly say “we will silence you.” It doesn’t have to. It puts your license, your livelihood, and your reputation inside a structure where complaints can trigger investigations, and where what counts as “unprofessional” can stretch beyond clinical practice into what you say publicly. And we’ve already seen how that plays out. Take Amy Hamm, a nurse who wasn’t accused of harming patients, but of making public statements about gender identity that her regulator deemed discriminatory. That led to a formal discipline ruling, a suspension of her licence, and tens of thousands in penalties. The message is clear: what you say outside the clinic can follow you directly into your profession. Or look at Barry Neufeld, hit with a massive financial penalty through the human rights system over his views. Different system, same signal: step outside the accepted line, and the consequences can be real. Bill 36 doesn’t create that environment, it reinforces it. It concentrates authority, reduces peer oversight, and expands the tools that can be used to enforce compliance. And once those tools exist, it doesn’t take much to change behavior. People don’t need to be punished en masse. They just need to see what happens to the few who are. And here’s the part people tend to overlook: there’s a leadership race underway in the B.C. Conservative Party right now. That means this is one of the few moments where political pressure actually matters. If you don’t want to see this become permanent, now is the time to make it an issue. Reach out to candidates, ask them directly where they stand, and make it clear you expect a commitment to repeal Bill 36. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

@MarcNixon24 This woman is rarely sober for more than 10 minutes. Ignore her non-sensible ramblings

Elizabeth May says private property is not at risk. Then says there will be shared ownership and shared decision-making. Think about that. A small group helping decide what happens to millions of properties across Metro Vancouver. How could that not impact property values?

@TomMarazzo Show me the raw data and I'll run my own anaylsis. .

Absolutely disgusting lies from the Feds.

@NVanCaroline Caroline, what is your position the HPOA. Thousands of healthcare workers are wanting to know.

The NDP thinks tax hikes are the solution to the affordability crisis. I'm the only BC Conservative leadership candidate who can defeat the NDP, reverse NDP tax hikes, and restore affordability in BC. Join me: WinForBC.ca

@tamarataggart Say more, please.

Allison Bond has been a bureaucrat since 1990. Her time as DM at MCFD caused immense harm for many families, and her time as DM of the Ministry responsible for CLBC has been abysmal. It’s shocking, 36 years as a brutal government worker and this 👇🏼#BCPoli timescolonist.com/local-news/roy…

@bcbluecon She is compromised

Globe & Mail has no idea how hard Liberal MP Lori Idlout is about to crash and burn due to her sons' sexual predatory backgrounds and money she makes from Mark Carney's govt contracts.

@Martyupnorth lol

$500 bucks to hang out with Marc Miller and Corey Hogan.

@NVanCaroline We are still waiting for your position on the HPOA. It will needed to be repealed before April 1st or many healthcare providers will be leaving (i.e., retiring or moving), myself included.

I'm the only BC Conservative leadership candidate with a plan to defeat the tax-and-spend NDP and restore fiscal sanity to British Columbia. 👉 Join my campaign: WinForBC.ca

@jordanbateman I was provided external assessments for WorkSafeBC. When provided with direct evidence of fraud (i.e., malingering), they simply ordered another assessment and dismissed mine. Again, employers pay the price.

🚨 WorkSafeBC just quietly killed its entire fraud investigation unit. 20 investigators - gone. The tip line goes to voicemail. B.C. now the only province with NO ONE investigating workers' comp fraud. Guess who pays? Employers. Always employers. 👇 icba.ca/bc-blog/worksa…

@JohnRustad4BC This is the NDP way. Look at the HPOA - the appointed college staff can make a complaint against a healthcare provider, investigate it, and then provide disciple.

The NDP has now abolished B.C.’s independent Merit Commissioner, the watchdog responsible for auditing how the government hires and promotes people in the public service. Finance Minister Brenda Bailey explained that the office was no longer necessary because it was finding “zero” problems. That explanation might have been more convincing if the commissioner’s most recent audit had not found the highest rate of flawed hiring processes in nearly a decade. In a random audit of 276 appointments, the merit principle was not applied in 10 percent of cases. Another 23 percent had other errors in the hiring process & If those numbers were applied across the roughly 8,000 public-service appointments made each year, that could mean thousands of questionable hiring decisions. So the government’s solution was not to fix the hiring process. The solution was to eliminate the independent watchdog. Oversight will now be handled internally by the government itself. In other words, the NDP government has decided that the best way to ensure fairness in hiring is to investigate itself, supervise itself, and reassure everyone that everything is fine. British Columbians are simply expected to trust that nothing could possibly go wrong with that arrangement.

Under the HPOA, psychologists cannot keep your confidentiality. It must be repealed! youtu.be/NjHvd3veIyU?si…

@DavidColetto 😂

The core of the Carney brand is not populism or charisma. It is competence. Canadians tend to see him as a serious, systems-oriented leader who can manage complexity and navigate uncertainty. In today’s political climate, that kind of brand has real value. abacusdata.ca/the-brand-imag…

@Jordan_Keal Anna Kindy was on board on opposing this bill since 2022 and I recently had a one-on-one meeting with her. Has she become compromised?

Surprise!!! Today, Anna Kindy from the B.C. Conservatives passed a bill through first reading. It is identical to the one I'm going to do tomorrow to repeal the HPOA act. The most ridiculous part about this is that she can't debate another bill because she already used her private members' time. I, on the other hand, still have my private members' time to debate, and I WILL BE PRESENTING MY BILL TOMORROW LIKE I PROMISED!!!

@Jordan_Keal We are counting on you! And appreciate your support in repealing this draconian legislation.
