The evidence is clear that improving access to contraception actually helps address inequality.#bcelxn2020
Change of plans on the campaign trail. I’ve just been told @Wilkinson4BC will be making “an announcement” before his campaign photo op in Coquitlam. Will he fire Laurie Throness? Standby.#bcpoli @GlobalBC pic.twitter.com/XTSMWesWgp

It took a long time - but Laurie Throness is no longer a @bcliberals candidate!

How about Margaret Kunst? She voted against a pride crosswalk and then lied about it.
Will @Wilkinson4BC also stop defending Kunst? #bcpoli #bcelxn2020 #bcvotes https://t.co/Tr4HqfB4o2
Laurie Throness has resigned as a candidate for the BC Liberals in Chilliwack-Kent in the election.

His name will remain on the ballot, and it will stay say he's associated with the BC Liberals.
This is so insulting!!!. Laurie Throness compares contraception to eugenics.

remembering a more innocent time when laurie throness wanted the liberals to, and i quote, "shape a mountain to create a globaly-significant sculpture funded by the sale of stone removed, and use some of it to build public structures across BC that will last for 500 years" pic.twitter.com/FkeQEh2dc4

Laurie Throness quit the @bcliberals.
— Jordan Armstrong (@jarmstrongbc) October 15, 2020
But was @Wilkinson4BC prepared to fire him?
I asked several times but Wilkinson wouldn’t say:#BCElection2020 #bcpoli @GlobalBC pic.twitter.com/UPY0YPerey
