BC Conservatives candidate claims Victoria firefighter suspended over open letter voicing safety concernsTim Thielmann, BC Conservatives candidate for Victoria-Beacon Hill, is pictured on Aug. 14, 2024.
CHEK News published Montgomery’s open letter, and at the time he asked to only be referred to as a local “first responder.” “We held a town hall last night on public safety and one of our guests was supposed to be Josh Montgomery,” Thielmann told CHEK News. “This is completely false,” reads the statement. “Premier Eby actively seeks out information from front-line workers and welcomes feedback of all kinds. It’s an important way we can hear how issues are impacting people on the ground.”
