@Shuswapland Criminal charges. Not speculation.

And innocent under the law until
Proven guilty, yes.

But I wouldnt need to see him guilty in court to not let him babysit my children, or volunteer at a women’s shelter. You?

My belief - MLAs can & should be held to higher standard

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Just checking on Hon Chan’s membership status?

Any leadership contenders find time to comment on his status as member and MLA?

No?

Moderate, independent thinking women? ❌

But (failing to disclose) domestic violence charges including threats & choking? ✅

[Amelia Boultbee MLA @amboultbee]

As sent to my constituents:

Hi everyone, I’d like to let everyone know that yesterday the BC Conservative leadership team and board canceled my membership.

Their position is that I violated the bylaw they cited for “publicly supporting another political party” when I voted to take a bill on FOI to committee.

The BC Conservative leadership and board who are making these decisions are deeply unserious.

Cancelling moderate conservatives memberships during the leadership race on a technicality while Yuri Fulmer forms an entire coalition with a far right party, OneBC, is a clear choice.

I’ll take them seriously when they can run a clean leadership campaign, have a leader, can identify themselves ideologically and vet candidates.

In the meantime I remain focussed on serving my constituents in Penticton Summerland. The economy, private property rights, lack of healthcare and public safety are provincial emergencies and my focus will remain there.

Much love to my constituents.

@tell92829 He has been charged with assault, assault with choking, and uttering threats in relation to intimate partner of violence - facts documented by the BC prosecution service.

I’m gonna leave you with your own thoughts on your defence of this and who you think is the bad guy.

👋

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Yesterday Hon Chan claimed he didn’t know about this investigation when he became a candidate.

Ok - so a simple question: when WAS he contacted by police? why didn’t he disclose then?

His refusal to be forthcoming on a charge for family violence is a major violation of trust.

[Jas Johal @JasJohalBC]

NEW - I wonder what former B.C. Conservative MLA Hon Chan is doing tonight? Me? I’m wondering how he responded to the following BC Conservative candidate vetting questionnaire? Remember the alleged incident happened in Jan 2024, the BC election was in Oct. 2024. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

@tell92829 Apologies - assault by choking is the official charge.

Is that actually the hair you want to split?

ACTUALLY?

Also a provincial court file with a k in it indicates domestic violence.

I was deeply disappointed that Trevor Halford did not call on Hon Chan to resign immediately.

I'm hopeful that BC Conservative MLAs and all leadership candidates will call on him to do that today.

are you actually doubling down on this

@callingcrow I’m mostly back over on Instagram because this place is a hot mess 💙 than you

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Let’s talk about sexism in politics.

This week, in this province.

Meek? Deferring to men? That’s a 3x elected leader, that’s a cabinet minister.

Kelly is owed better. We’re owed better. You’re owed better. So is the province.

[Kelly Greene @KellyRichmondBC]

This is how the BC Conservatives characterize women Ministers in the Cabinet. Happy International Women’s Week to everyone except Gavin Dew I guess.

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Outrageous. This is not reasonable political difference, this is not democratic disagreement.

And it’s done with the weight of the office of MLA without the respect of the responsibility that must come with it.

Shame on Brodie and all those who brought her in the front door.

[Wade Grant @WadeGrant]

Today a staffer for @Dallas_Brodie entered my constituency office unannounced and began recording my staff and an innocent constituent without their consent. They walked through my office filming and trying to agitate people for a reaction.

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

. @amboultbee and @elenoresturko holding their former colleagues to account today.

Pretty straight forward questions - who are you and what do you stand for?

Do you or do you not believe in protecting people’s human rights?

Pretty simple?

[Amelia Boultbee MLA @amboultbee]

Ok @BCConservCaucus and @TrevHal - if you voted for the bill on first reading ONLY because of your strong love of the parliamentary tradition (which apparently didn’t apply three times in the last session) then theoretically you should have no issue making yourself clear in another format.

So I’m asking all of you, or someone authorized to speak on on your behalf- do you support the LGBTQ community?

Are trans rights human rights?

Are you prepared to denounce anyone who says or insinuates that being gay or trans makes you more likely to be a school shooter?

I think people want to know.

Stop hiding behind procedural technicalities and pick a side.

Which side are you on?

Very eager to hear. And no BS about “waiting for a new leader”. If you guys can’t answer such a basic question, we are all hooped.

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

@CharlesBodi @TristinHopper @libsoftiktok @againstgrmrs @BillboardChris @BCLegislature @bctf You know intersex is a biological truth, yes? And it’s not that uncommon? An intersex baby is born once in about every 1,500 births.
