In our quest to do our part in calling out ‘fake news’ we reached out to our MLA for comment. When questioned about the validity of her support for candidate Buchanan, this was the response from her office:

Thank you for your email.
MLA Ma works very hard to ensure strong working relationships with elected officials across the North Shore, as evidenced by her work in INSTTP, which brought together people in all levels of government to work collectively on the issue of transportation on the North Shore in an unprecedented level of collaboration.
MLA Ma is not endorsing municipal candidates nor getting involved in the upcoming election except to provide briefings to candidates about the work of INSTPP. These briefings are offered to every mayoral candidate across the North Shore as well as all council candidates regardless of political stripe. She also regularly accepts requests for meetings from all municipal candidates and is always happy to speak to issues relating to the provincial government.
In your service,
Julia Bilinski
Constituency Assistant
Bowinn Ma, MLA | North Vancouver-Lonsdale
