Police investigate bomb threat at B.C. NDP party campaign office

'Violence has absolutely no place in our politics,' says Eby, who was not in the NDP office when the threat was received

Violence should have no place in British Columbia politics, said New Democrat Leader David Eby as police investigated a bomb threat at a party campaign office on Vancouver Island.

Eby said Saturday an NDP campaign office in Campbell River was temporarily evacuated Friday after receiving a bomb threat.

Eby, who was campaigning Friday in the Vancouver Island city, said he was not in the NDP office when the threat was received.
