It didn’t take long for the BC Liberal jabs to come out, in the wake of the new NDP government being sworn in Tuesday.

“We can all work together.”

Coleman quoted a tweet featuring Horgan’s picture to which he said “BC deserves better,” and another tweet saying, ” This #GreeNDP government was not recognized by the majority BC.”
