B.C. NDP and Green leaders watch women’s rugby sevens finals together Sunday
LANGFORD, B.C. — Two British Columbia political leaders at the centre of negotiations to set the direction for the province’s immediate political future sat together Sunday at an international rugby match at Westhills Stadium near Victoria.
John Horgan, leader of the New Democratic Party, and Andrew Weaver, Green party leader, said politics was far from the agenda as they cheered on Canada’s rugby squad in a final game against New Zealand.
Canada’s women’s rugby sevens team ended up losing to New Zealand in the finals of the HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series event at Langford, just west of Victoria.
“I’m a rugby guy,” said Weaver. “I’m hanging out with my rugby guys here.”
