British Columbia is central to building a more prosperous Canada.
This afternoon, Premier-designate @LDoerkson and I discussed how we can seize major economic opportunities across the province, build out infrastructure, and unlock our full potential as an energy superpower.
Building British Columbia and Canada strong, for all.
BC Premier Designate Lorne Doerkson had a phone call today with PM Carney. “Supercharging” BC’s economy featured prominently. #bcpoli
Productive conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney today.
We are aligned on the need to supercharge our economy, attract investment, and create good-paying jobs. British Columbia has an enormous role to play in driving Canada's economic future, and we are ready to lead.
When British Columbia succeeds, Canada succeeds.
READOUT: PREMIER-ELECT LORNE DOERKSON'S CALL WITH PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY
October 27, 2026
Earlier today, the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier designate of British Columbia had a virtual meeting setting out a plan for cooperation in support of BC and Canadian growth.
In the conversation, there was agreement to work together to increase growth and economic opportunities for BC and Canada. On LNG and natural gas, there was a joint desire to ensure the right investable and competitive conditions are created to maximize private sector investment.
On investment strategy, there was alignment to work together to attract capital to BC. Overall, the Prime Minister and Premier Designate indicated their joint desire for a strong partnership inclusive of all British Columbians that can supercharge hope and opportunities for the province.
The Premier Designate offered his commitment to work together on various challenges including managing trade risks and opportunities to ensure prosperity for the country from coast, to coast to coast.
There was also alignment on the need for progressing improved infrastructure and services in BC and to work these issues further through the transition and establishment of BC’s new government.

The Greens didn’t split the vote, the NDP suppressed the vote through their own cynicism, negativity and promise breaking.
Our turnout was 10 points higher during a global pandemic. #bcpoli

Félicitations, @LDoerkson, pour votre victoire électorale.
J’ai hâte de travailler avec vous, en tant que premier ministre, pour faire construire davantage de logements, libérer tout notre potentiel en tant que superpuissance énergétique et bâtir une Colombie-Britannique plus forte, ainsi qu’un Canada plus fort pour tous.
Merci, premier ministre @Dave_Eby, pour votre engagement et tout ce que nous avons accompli ensemble. Des projets d’infrastructure d’envergure ont été lancés. Des marchés d’exportation ont été ouverts. Des emplois ont été préservés.
Je vous souhaite, à vous et à votre famille, tout le meilleur pour ce nouveau chapitre.

I'm heading to CTV studios to watch (and provide brilliant insights) into the BC election tonight.
Polling say it's a narrow path for the Orange Team - and the Conservatives to lose.
But polling + BC voters = bananas.
Tune in tonight - hand counting at Elections BC - tuck in!
Excited to join @mijungleectv tomorrow on the desk, along with a great panel, for full election coverage — starting at 6 pm. First results expected shortly after the polls close at 8 pm. Join us to take in an historic night!
British Columbians will soon learn whether NDP Leader David Eby’s snap election gamble paid off or backfired—and CTV News will have comprehensive coverage as results come in Saturday. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…

Lorne Doerkson campaigning the last day before election day in David Eby’s riding of Vancouver-Pt. Grey. Conservatives seemingly optimistic they can flip this seat. #bcpoli

Close election coming in BC.
Will depend on so-called 'vote efficiency' + the party's ability to GOTV (get the vote out).
Get yer popcorn ready!

Green Party leader, Emily Lowan, tells @CTVVancouver @Keri_Adams that if the Greens hold the balance of power, she would lean towards supporting the NDP. #bcpoli
Pete Fry — Vancouver Mayor Elect — formally endorses Emily Lowan at a rally in Sidney, before joining her for door knocking in her home riding, a traditional green stronghold. #bcpoli
Vancouver Mayor elect, Pete Fry, is on the campaign trail today with Green Party leader Emily Lowan. Fry was at an event for David Eby yesterday but didn’t offer an endorsement. The leader of the Green Party of Vancouver is clearly a hot political entity. #bcpoli
