B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad said he supports the former vice-chair of the Vancouver Police Board who was recently forced to step down following comments she posted on social media.
Rustad’s comments come after some of his MLAs asked him to show support for Vancouver Police Board vice-chair Comfort Sakoma-Fadugba following another Conservative MLA’s public criticism of her.
Conservative MLA Elenore Sturko was quoted by CBC News on Nov. 23 as saying she thought the board was correct in its action. Sturko also said that Sakoma-Fadugba’s comments were offensive.
Sturko is a former RCMP officer and was part of the BC United caucus before joining the provincial Conservatives. She also said that Sakoma-Fadugba’s comments on social media impacted public trust with police.
