The billboards were bought by the B.C. Liberals using caucus funding, and suggest Premier John Horgan is to blame for high gas prices.
Digital billboards along Lower Mainland commuter routes are flashing political attack ads that suggest Premier John Horgan is to blame for high gas prices.
The billboards were bought by the B.C. Liberals using caucus funding. Green party Leader Andrew Weaver is now calling for a ban on the use of taxpayer money for political attack ads. Related The billboards say “Gas prices?” and “Spending more to commute?” followed by “Blame John Horgan.” It’s not unheard of for a provincial political party to use caucus funding for partisan purposes. Weaver says there’s no law that prevents a party caucus from using its fund for political purposes but he believes there should be.
