Fun Fact of the day: No. 42 is the only number to be retired across all of Major League Baseball

In case you missed it: Racist comment gets Kelowna-Lake Country political volunteer tossed
A comment on a local news post comparing a Black Lives Matter fist to a Nazi salute has resulted in the removal a board executive sitting on the Kelowna-Lake Country riding associations for both the federal Conservatives and BC Liberals.
In the post, Justin Neufeld wrote “a BLM fist in the air is no different than a Nazi salute. Change my mind.”
Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick said “obviously the BC Liberal Party and I don’t share his view” in a tweet today announcing Neufeld’s removal from the riding association executive.
Thanks for your work Chris. Obviously the BC Liberal Party and I don’t share his view. I just called him to inform him that he was no longer a member of the Kelowna Lake Country executive. https://t.co/UFXfV88mPb
