ROTHENBURGER: ‘No one denies there’s an issue with prolific offenders’
RARELY IS THERE AGREEMENT between the BC Liberals and NDP, especially during Question Period in the Legislature, but they came close to it this week on the issue of random assaults and prolific offenders.
The Libs hammered at Attorney-General David Eby all week long, continuing what they’d started the week before, and at the end of it received this rather surprising acknowledgement: “I share the member’s concern,” he told MLA Shirley Bond, but qualified it with, “to a point.”
More on that in a minute.
Favourite word of the week was “horrific,” used frequently both by Eby and his Liberal antagonists to describe the thefts and many random street attacks in communities throughout the province.
