The man who quit as the BC Liberal party candidate in Chilliwack-Kent yesterday is now running as an Independent in the same riding.
Laurie Throness lost the Liberal representation after he said during an all-candidates meeting that the NDP plan to offer free birth control had a whiff of past eugenics experiments to stop poor people from having more children.
Throness announced on his Facebook page that he has always spoken with his heart and conscience and many people have urged him to stay in the race.
Elections BC says his name will remain under the Liberal banner on the ballot, but Throness says he'll tell voters he'll sit as an Independent, if elected.
