Nathan Cullen – $40k for 5 week contract.
There is a saying, sometimes facts are stranger than fiction. I now finally understand the fringe benefits of being elected.

Its not the first time BC Taxpayers footed profits for Nathan Cullen.
Nathan has history…..
- Nov. / Dec. 2019- Cullen resigns from his $180k/yr position, receives $89k severance. Says he wants time to spend with his family.
- Jan 2020- Cullen appointed liaison, bills $250/hr, tries to bill extra $50/day for home office, expenses out meals at every fancy restaurant and coffee joint in the Bulkley Valley. BC Government website shows contract capped at $25k max.
- Feb- Aug 2020- Cullen bills over $100k in consulting fees and expenses. $2000/day or $250/hr.
- Sept. 1 2020- After failure to resolve conflict as liaison, Cullen registers as lobbyist for pharmaceutical company Symvivo Corporation. (Private lobbyist to the same government which employs / employed him!?!) No two year ‘cooling off period’, obviously.
- Sept. 2020- Cullen declared himself candidate for NDP. NDP railroads himself past McPhee (again). McPhee requests him to stand down. NDP make various and changing excuses for her candidacy being invalid. McPhee threatens legal action.
The man re-defines the term political survival. Never mind his historical record, just look at his recent history of being the minister responsible for fish and wildlife resources in this province. Can anyone come up with a single example of anything he has done for either? Having sent numerous messages his way over the past many months, none of which received a timely response (some never) or began to address the issues and questions raised, I ask how is it this man passes the red face test to offer himself as a representative of the voters of this province?
