Last week, Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad was been booted from the BC Liberal caucus after he retweeted views that questioned climate science.

In a statement, Liberal leader Kevin Falcon said that politics is a “team sport” and Rustad was not operating from a “foundation of mutual respect and trust.”

Rustad said he didn’t question climate change, but questioned “the role that CO2 is playing in particular,” a view that is not supported by science.

What do you think about Falcon’s decision?
