Chinese and South Asian communities call B.C. Liberals dishonest

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark has issued an apology after a document was leaked explaining how the liberal party planned to win ethnic votes in the upcoming election.

According to the CBC, members of Vancouver’s Chinese and South Asian communities are calling the B.C liberal party dishonest after learning of the party’s plan to get votes from ethnic groups with their Multicultural Strategy. 

Though Clark apologized for how the document was worded, Bill Chu of the Canadian Reconciliation Society called the apology unacceptable and stated that the Multicultural Strategy was full of disrespect. 

While Clark says she does not know who drafted the document that was leaked by the NDP, the Vancouver Province newspaper claims it has proof that one of Clark’s chiefs of staff gave advice when the document was being written. 

British Columbia’s next provincial election is scheduled for May 14.
