B.C. premier says Selina Robinson's exit from NDP caucus is 'humbling,' but disagrees with antisemitism claim

British Columbia Premier David Eby says the decision of former cabinet minister Selina Robinson to quit the NDP, citing antisemitism in the caucus, is a “humbling” moment for him.

But Eby says he disagrees with Robinson’s “characterization” of her colleagues and he supports all members of the caucus.

“The caucus is feeling quite hurt and sad today,” Eby said Thursday during a media scrum. 

“Selina was an important part of our team and I know Selina is hurting, too.”
