The MLA for Victoria-Beacon Hill has been kicked out of the BC Conservative caucus over social media posts that promote violence toward pro-Palestinian protestors. Joachim Agou has been removed by leader Lorne Doerkson who says there’s no excuse and the actions will not be tolerated. Agou’s name has been removed from the Conservative’s website - he will likely still appear on the BC election ballot next to his former party affiliation. NDP leader David Eby promises to freeze ICBC rates for three years, claiming his government has already held the costs for the previous ten years. The campaign promise comes as the NDP and Conservatives announce two different approaches to ICBC. Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson is calling for an end to no-fault insurance. The NDP is also accusing the Conservatives of sending a ‘private’ letter to trial lawyers promising changes to the system - that letter was widely distributed to thousands of lawyers and reported on by the media two years ago.
