New Democrat Leader David Eby says violence should have no place in politics after a party campaign office in Campbell River was evacuated following a bomb threat.
Eby, who was campaigning Friday in Campbell River, said Saturday he was not in the campaign office when the threat was received.
He said at a campaign stop in Langley that he is grateful for the courage of the office staff who were told to temporarily evacuate by the RCMP, who are investigating the incident.

The RCMP were not immediately available for comment.
Earlier on Saturday, B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad says he will release his party’s costed election platform on Tuesday, five days before the Oct. 19 voting day.
Rustad was in Surrey where he visited a food bank, pledging, if elected, to implement a dedicated but yet unspecified government fund to ensure help for people in need.
