B.C. Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson under fire from within own party

Eight days out from the provincial election, B.C. Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson is under fire from within his own party for taking too long to cut ties with Chilliwack-Kent candidate Laurie Throness, and for undermining the chances of other Liberals running in the election.

On Twitter, B.C. Liberal membership chair Nicole Paul said, "I am pleased to see Laurie Throness will no longer be a candidate or caucus member, this is action that any reasonable leader would have acted on months, if not years, ago."

Throness resigned from the party Thursday after making comments comparing free contraception to eugenics at an all-candidates debate.

The two-time MLA has also faced criticism in the past for alleged homophobia and for defending an article that supported the discredited practice of conversion therapy.

"[Throness] has made comments as far back as two years ago," Paul told CBC. "I'm disappointed in the lack of proactive action that could have been taken on this, and made it so that it wasn't an election issue."
