NDP Leader John Horgan says he’s disappointed that a former member of Parliament now running for his party made negative comments about a BC Liberal.
Nathan Cullen made the remarks about Roy Jones Junior, who is Haida, before an all-candidates meeting last week when his comments were picked up on a live microphone and posted online.
At a campaign stop Monday on Victoria, Horgan said he has spoken to Cullen to express his disappointment.
Cullen is the NDP candidate in Stikine and Jones is running for the Liberals in North Coast in Saturday’s election.
In Maple Ridge, Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson promised to upgrade two major east-west routes and build a bridge to a northeastern section of the municipality.
He also pledged to improve mental health services, tackle homelessness and increase funding for law enforcement.
Green Leader Sonia Furstenau was campaigning in Brentwood Bay, where she promised to make BC Ferries a Crown Corporation again to remove pressure on the service to make a profit.
She says that would bring BC Ferries back to being the essential service that it is for many communities.
