'In this election it’s really about choosing the best candidate to represent you'
There are three candidates represented in the West Kelowna-Peachland riding for the Oct. 19 provincial election - only one of them showed up for a public forum, on Wednesday night.
During candidate introductions someone in the crowd said B.C. NDP candidate Krystal Smith was ill and unable to attend. Black Press Media received an email from someone responding on Smith’s behalf, when it requested a one-on-one video interview with the candidate on Sept. 25, also stating she was ill.“In this election, it’s really about choosing the best candidate to represent you,” he said.
“Enabling people isn’t helping and we’re seeing the evidence of that in our communities, and safe supply is not safe,” he said. “That might not be popular with everyone, but that’s what I believe.” During closing comments, Johnston said he believes a balanced perspective has been removed from the campaign.
