LANGLEY, B.C. — New Democrat Leader David Eby says violence should have no place in politics after a party campaign office in Campbell River was evacuated following a bomb threat.
Eby, who was campaigning Friday in the Vancouver Island city, says today he was not in the campaign office when the threat was received.
He says at a campaign stop in Langley that he is grateful for the courage of the office staff who were told to temporarily evacuate by the RCMP, who are investigating the incident.Earlier on Saturday, B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad says he will release his party's costed election platform on Tuesday, five days before the Oct. 19 voting day.
Rustad was in the Metro Vancouver city of Surrey where he visited a food bank, pledging, if elected, to implement a dedicated but yet unspecified government fund to ensure help is available for growing numbers of people in need.
