Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad booted from B.C. Liberal caucus for questioning climate change
Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad has been booted from the B.C. Liberal caucus after he retweeted views that questioned climate science.
In a statement, Liberal leader Kevin Falcon said that politics is a “team sport” and Rustad was not operating from a “foundation of mutual respect and trust.” “Following a pattern of behaviour that was not supportive of our caucus team and the principles of mutual respect and trust, I have removed MLA John Rustad from the BC Liberal Caucus effective immediately.”
The statement follows a Tweet from Kevin Falcon on Wednesday saying that Rustad “does not speak on behalf of caucus” about climate change.
