During his farewell speech March 29 as the NDP’s interim leader, Don Davies joked to conventioneers in Winnipegthat “you’ll have to catch me at Yuk Yuk’s next week in Vancouver.”
It appears the veteran Vancouver Kingsway MP will enjoy a drier climate for Easter Weekend.
A reader of theBreaker.news spotted Davies April 2 on Air Canada flight 1046 from Vancouver to Palm Springs, Calif.
The short clip shows Davies blissfully relaxing beside wife Sheryl. Just as you might expect him to be, days after handing over the party’s reins to newly elected ecosocialist Avi Lewis.
Davies made a higher-profile visit to YVR last year, when he joined striking Air Canada flight attendants on the CUPE picket line.
On his website, Davies implored Canadians to respond to Donald Trump’s hostility “by building a resilient and self-sufficient Canadian economy,” through buying Canadian and increasing interprovincial trade.
In April 2025, the leader of the B.C. NDP, Premier David Eby, urged British Columbians to avoid non-essential travel to the U.S. as a reaction to Trump’s trade war.
