I carry the lessons, strength, and resilience of the fierce Pueblo women who raised me. It is the honor of my lifetime to serve New Mexico as your 33rd Governor — and to make history as the first Native American woman elected Governor in our nation’s history. I will always fight for the people and communities that made me who I am. Let’s get to work.

Impressive recruit.
Guy Cormier a été président et chef de la direction de l’une des plus grandes institutions financières au Canada pendant près de 10 ans. Au cours de ses 30 années de carrière, il a défendu la finance responsable, travaillé à la lutte contre les changements climatiques et donné aux jeunes les moyens d’agir. Aujourd’hui, il est prêt à mettre son expérience au service des gens de Laurier–Sainte-Marie. Bienvenue dans l’équipe, Guy.

That and he spent a lot. From essentially a balanced budget to a $13B deficit.
David Eby didn’t govern from the centre or the left - he didn’t really govern at all. He lurched from issue to issue without a coherent plan. He did some important things like the BC-Canada MOU, and some novel changes to housing and health - but got pulled around by bobbles.

More like NoneBC, am I right?
Not even OneSeat for OneBC. Hate has no home in our province.

In the chaos of an pending election, one thing will be made clear at the end of it all: OneBC will not win a single seat. Their time in BC politics is finished.

My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country. When I became Secretary of the Interior, I knew it was my duty to help heal those wounds. We launched the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative to uncover records, bring these stories to light, and ensure the truth could no longer be hidden. Today, I wear orange to honor the Indigenous children who endured these schools, the families who saw their children ripped away, and the generations who continue to carry that trauma. 🧡 We must remember, tell the truth, and keep working toward healing and a more just future. 🧡

I am Disgusted & saddened that, apparently, days before September 30th, people in Tk’emlúps saw this in their community. Anti-indigenous rhetoric is giving groups like this the courage to gather and intimidate indigenous people. We must continue to work hard to stop this hate.

Horgan did more, for longer, with less.
Really good point by @nathancullen on @pnpcbc. The BC NDP only has a one seat majority, not exactly a secure mandate for the next few years.

I’ve had the chance to work closely with @JessCardill over many years, seeing her positive leadership as an integral part of our Liberal political team through some truly unprecedented chapters. That’s included a fast-paced and fully secure 2025 leadership race, healthy and growing democratic engagement as we all faced a prolonged global pandemic, and multiple national election victories. Looking forward to working with her to keep building Canada strong with @MarkJCarney. And big appreciation to @_MatteoRossi for all of the successful and innovative work he’s been leading as Interim National Director.

Vancouver deserves a more accountable and representative City Hall. The Vancouver Liberals will hold a referendum on a ward system in the following election, after the recommendations of a citizens' assembly.
