In June and July, he repeatedly pushed to lift restrictions in *specific regions* even after Dr. Bonnie Henry directly rejected the idea. #bcpoli #bcelxn2020

Then, despite her clear answer, Wilkinson continued pushing the idea for at least six weeks - including the exact same day of a large exposure event in Kelowna that was eventually linked to 130+ cases. #bcpoli #bcelxn2020 https://www.bcndp.ca/releases/andrew-wilkinsons-disagreement-dr-henry

BC doesn’t need a Premier who will elbow their way to the microphone and contradict Dr. Henry.

Let’s stick with @jjhorgan and leaders who take advice from renowned experts to get us through the pandemic. #bcpoli #bcelxn2020
