This is dangerous and disgusting. The last thing we need in British Columbia is the right trying to undermine our democracy like in the US.

In my opinion, the political mistake was trying to sell a new/upgraded $800 million dollar museum instead of trying to sell an $800 million dollar preventative securing of the provincial historical archives and pointing frantically at Brazil.
