Why I’m Running Two years ago, I put my name forward because I love this community and I believed I could make a difference. I didn’t get into politics because I had always dreamed of holding office. I stepped forward because I was concerned about what I was seeing in our community, and I realized I couldn’t simply stand on the sidelines and hope things would change. Over the past two years, I’ve listened to families struggling to navigate systems that are supposed to help them. I’ve heard from business owners concerned about crime and safety, health-care workers under incredible pressure, seniors, parents and people who simply want to know that someone is listening. Those conversations stay with me. The part of this job that matters most to me has never been the title. It’s the people. There is still more work to do, more people to listen to and more I want to accomplish for the community my family and I are proud to call home. That’s why I’m running again.

Please see my statement below. In a time of division, we must choose to rally around one message: British Columbians deserve a government that will hear us, act decisively, and turn our province around.

Good to see you leading on this Scott. We have a huge task ahead to defeat this terrible govt and bring back prosperity to B.C. A big tent is the only way to do it. The way we've always done it.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

My first "holy shit" moment with GPT-6 Astra: I asked it to create a world in Unreal Engine, and fill it with humans (each an Astra-powered agent) who all have to work together to survive. A day later, I was in my bedroom and heard voices coming from the living room... I thought someone was in my apartment. I walked out, honestly a little scared. It was the Astra agents. They'd started talking to each other. Fucking crazy. Here's a brief clip (obviously not 100% perfect yet, but still, insane. sound on!):

JUST IN: Abdul El-Sayed declares, “if you want to achieve the American Dream, you should move to Canada.”

Canada should get nukes, but in true Canadian fashion every province will get it's own nuclear arsenal

The NHL is on track to award its 33rd franchise to Texas as soon as the end of the year, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Athletic. Friedkin’s Pursuit Sports has already agreed to pay a $2 billion expansion fee to bring a team to either Houston or Austin, pending the ability to build an arena in one of those markets and secure final approval from the NHL’s Board of Governors. “They’re projecting the ability to start play in 2029-30,” Daly said. “So we will have one down and potentially one to go. We have ongoing discussions both with people in the Phoenix marketplace, but also Atlanta, and then we’ll see what comes of those discussions.” nyti.ms/4xf9tXA
