If the all-party appointed Chief Electoral Officer, and fmr. R.C. naval officer w/ 20+ yrs. experience can’t explain or correct what happened, then ask for a review. Your overreaction is premature.

So @JohnRustad4BC claims that “confidence in election integrity is more fragile than ever” as he undermines confidence in its integrity. @ElectionsBC. #bcpoli.
Elections BC has revealed that a ballot box containing 861 votes went entirely uncounted, along with 14 unreported votes in Surrey-Guildford—a crucial riding narrowly won by the NDP. While I am not disputing the final outcome pending remaining judicial recounts, it’s clear that.

This is sad news. He was a man of great integrity who, among other things, helped us all become more aware of our history so we could improve our path forward.

It was because of the Opposition that we have oversight of the child welfare system, that seniors don’t lose their driver’s licenses based on a touch-screen computer test, that farmers can sell meat from the farm gate,.

So @johnrustadbc said that all you can do in Opposition is “point the finger and complain”. He knows this isn’t true. The role of H.M.’s Loyal Opposition is an important and honourable one, if he does it right. #bcpoli.

Congratulations to Canada’s MVP.
Watch this! #WorldSeriesChampion and World Series #MVP (as of a few minutes ago) Freddie Freeman talks about why he chose to play for Team Canada. In short, his Canadian mom. He’s got a fan for life in me. #Dodgers #WorldChamps #FreddieFreeman

So @JohnRustad4BC said “I would not be looking at offering one of our members” for Speaker. He also said only some votes will be whipped. Will he whip his MLA’s to remove their names as candidates for Speaker? #bcpoli
