   B.C. Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson under fire from within own party   
      
   Eight days out from the provincial election, B.C. Liberal leader Andrew   
   Wilkinson is under fire from within his own party for taking too long to cut   
   ties with Chilliwack-Kent candidate Laurie Throness, and for undermining the   
   chances of other Liberals    
   running in the election.   
      
   On Twitter, B.C. Liberal membership chair Nicole Paul said, "I am pleased to   
   see Laurie Throness will no longer be a candidate or caucus member, this is   
   action that any reasonable leader would have acted on months, if not years,   
   ago."   
      
   Throness resigned from the party Thursday after making comments comparing free   
   contraception to eugenics at an all-candidates debate.   
      
   The two-time MLA has also faced criticism in the past for alleged homophobia   
   and for defending an article that supported the discredited practice of   
   conversion therapy.   
      
   "[Throness] has made comments as far back as two years ago," Paul told CBC.   
   "I'm disappointed in the lack of proactive action that could have been taken   
   on this, and made it so that it wasn't an election issue."
