VANCOUVER –  A tweet circulating on social media reportedly from B.C. Premier’s Christy Clark Twitter account is fake, says her office.

The tweet showed up a few days ago and reads:

It is not known from where the tweet originated but the premier’s office says it’s “clearly not real” and adds “It’s unfortunate that anyone would fabricate something like that.”

However, Christy Clark did anger some teachers and others on social media when she took to her official Twitter account on Sunday with the following tweets:
