B.C. party leaders take election campaign to annual Sikh celebration
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Liberal and NDP leaders largely kept the politics out of their speeches while addressing the Sikh community at the annual Vaisakhi celebration this weekend.
The leaders spoke to worshippers at a Sikh temple in South Vancouver on Saturday ahead of parade celebrating the birth of the religion.
NDP leader John Horgan made light of the fact politicians were setting aside their political beliefs for the day, pointing out the event managed to bring together members of all stripes.
“That speaks to the power of inclusivity here at the temple where on a day like today, we’re all just human beings,” he said.
