Former B.C. NDP minister Harry Lali endorses BC United
A former New Democratic minister and MLA has endorsed BC United because rural B.C. has “no voice” in the current government.
“Having only a handful of rural MLAs, the has little to no interest in the issues and challenges facing small communities,” he said in lamenting the lack of doctors, ER closures and mill closures among other issues. Lali, who was in the legislature Thursday, said he will be joining BC United because he likes the direction of BC United under Kevin Falcon.
Lali, who ran for the leadership of the NDP in 2011 by appealing to “older, white males” before dropping out, served some 18 years in the legislature, including almost 14 years as MLA for Yale-Lillooet from 1991 to 2001 and from 2005 to 2009 and four years in the riding of Fraser-Nicola from 2009 to 2013.
