Milobar calls on Horgan to apologize for ‘condescending’ Trans Mountain comment
Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal Candidate Peter Milobar is calling for NDP Leader John Horgan to apologize for remarks about Interior residents after yesterday’s environmental approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal.
Horgan, who adamantly opposes the project, was asked about the support of Interior residents.
“I believe that those in the Interior don’t have the same perspective that those of us on the coast… That’s a challenge for not just me, as leader of the New Democratic Party, not just for anyone involved in the political process. This is not a partisan question, it is a B.C. challenge,” stated Horgan.
Milobar says he interpreted Horgan’s remarks to mean Interior residents lack perspective.
