The new deputy leader of the BC Green Party has been fired after controversial social media activity came to light Wednesday.
A post on X liked by Dr. Sanjiv Gandhi compared Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry to a Nazi officer who performed experiments on prisoners in concentration camps.
Late Wednesday evening, Sonia Furstenau shared she had been made aware of the comparison. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, she said: “I find this unacceptable and I have removed Dr. Gandhi as deputy leader and accepted his resignation as a candidate.”
