Rustad calls for Eby’s resignation in wake of claims of Antisemitism in NDP caucus

Mar 7, 2024 | 9:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — John Rustad is calling for Premier David Eby’s resignation.

It comes in the wake of Selina Robinson’s resignation this week which the Conservative Party of B.C. leader says paints a disturbing picture of a culture of Antisemitism and tacit support for extremism in the premier’s office as well as throughout the party and caucus.

Rustad argues Eby and his entire NDP caucus must account to the people of BC for their damning silence, indifference and capitulation to Antisemitism and extremism.

“Calling Selina Robinson’s suggestion of training to prevent Antisemitism and Islamaphobia “political,” demonstrates a culture of absolute political expediency, cynicism, and sycophancy.”

These are challenging times; British Columbians need leaders who are strong enough to bring people together to find common ground, just as former NDP cabinet Minister Selina Robinson suggested.”
