Former B.C. NDP cabinet minister #MelanieMark to resign #Vancouver seat, cites health:
“There’s a lot that I’m proud of, but this journey has been challenging and has come at a significant personal toll,” she said. “The place felt like a torture chamber... The fact is the political environment is cutthroat and dysfunctional.”
