BC Conservative Leader John Rustad has responded to a letter from 13 of his MLAs targeting one of their colleagues over comments she made about the Vancouver Police Board.

The recent resignation of the Vancouver Police Board vice-chair has led to controversy in the BC Conservative caucus. Several MLAs are now demanding leader John Rustad take action to address the comments another MLA made on the matter. Global News has obtained a copy of a letter sent to Rustad by members of his own party. Keith Baldrey has more., after she expressed support for the ouster of Vancouver Police Board vice-chair Comfort Sakoma in an interview with the CBC.

The board had asked for and received Sakoma’s resignation after controversial posts on her Instagram account about Christianity, immigration and gender identity surfaced. In the posts, Sakoma suggested Christianity underpins Canadian culture and values, raised concerns about secular education “erasing Christian values from the lives of our children,” and mused that exposure to Diwali celebrations in schools could lead to Hinduism becoming the “dominant cultural influence.
