Letter to the Editor

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett’s election ads fail to say which party he is running for. His ads leave the impression that he is running from his Liberal brand.

On March 3, CBC quoted Bill Bennett on Christy Clark: “She’s a trooper. She’s our leader. We have a lot of faith in her.” Global News, March 3, reported that Bennett said, “he didn’t think he would run if Clark wasn’t his leader.” Then on March 24, Bennett told Justine Hunter of the Globe & Mail, “They [the voters] are just fed up with our party brand.”

Mr. Bennett appears to be giving a hearty party stand at the coast, while running away from his party in this riding. He can run but he can’t hide from his government’s record.
