NEW - Jennifer Whiteside said she was unanimously picked by caucus to be the interim leader of the B.C. NDP.
Mike Farnworth will be house leader and Niki Sharma will be caucus chair. #bcpoli
“He said everything’s on the table...everything from privatizing ICBC, bringing in all the private insurers, getting rid of no fault and jacking up your rates.”
Lorne Doerkson put it all on the table. You’d pay for it.
Why won’t the Conservatives remove their campaign manager? With her hateful words like this, it must be she reflects the party’s values. What else can it be?

Lorne Doerkson's campaign director didn't make a single mistake.
She has demonstrated a pattern of amplifying racist views, which she has not addressed or apologized for. #bcpoli
Doerkson couldn't tell you how much he'll raise your car insurance. We know that people in Alberta and Ontario pay 2x as much for car insurance than people in BC. Why does Lorne Doerkson want people to pay more?
Not one @Conservative_BC candidate or @CPC_HQ MP has condemned Islamophobic comments tied to @LDoerkson's campaign director, who remains in the role.
Doerkson & his candidates' silence speaks volumes.
If you don't have the courage to stand up to hate - you're not fit to lead.
Absolutely horrific racism from this Conservative candidate.
Attacking the Pakistani community as "a sh*thole," joking about killing protestors, celebrating white supremacist figures.
There's only one way for Lorne Doerkson to respond: fire this candidate immediately.
The Conservative leader went behind your back and promised personal injury lawyers he'd bring back the old car insurance system, and undo all the work we did to get rates under control.
It's not just reckless. He's selling out every driver in British Columbia.
Great news for Surrey! We’re investing more than $33 million to improve health care for people in Surrey. Surrey Memorial Hospital will see expanded access to emergency care and medical imaging, while seniors and families will see additional community day and overnight services.
One year ago the John Horgan Campus opened its doors, expanding access to post-secondary education in the Westshore. John believed education is the great equalizer. Today, that vision lives on through opportunities that help students learn and build their futures closer to home.
Today, I toured the newly opened interim learning space at @SFU's new Stephens Family School of Medicine in Surrey, the perfect space to train-up B.C.’s future doctors. It’s supported by $33.7M in provincial funding. Construction on the permanent space starts this Fall!
