B.C. MLA Bowinn Ma's constituency office targeted with explosive device
The constituency office of North Vancouver MLA Bowinn Ma has been targeted with an explosive device, CBC News has confirmed. Police tape could be seen on Friday morning cordoning off the cabinet minister's office space at 221 Esplanade Ave. West. Two sources who spoke with CBC News on background, as they're not in a position to comment on the matter, said legislative security sent out an email to MLAs and constituency assistants around 7:30 a.m. Friday. The email said there was "an explosive device that detonated and caused damage." It said the explosion caused damage to the property, but no one was hurt. CBC News spoke with Ma and her husband in person, who said they're reeling from the incident and do not wish to comment. In a statement, Ma said all meetings and appointments at her office are cancelled for the day. "Thankfully, nobody was injured, but incidents like this can be quite frightening," she said. "Due to the active police investigation, I will not be able to provide more details at this time." The Office of the Premier told CBC News they did not order B.C. NDP offices to close, but they've advised caution and want staff and MLAs to do what they feel comfortable with.
