An Alberta radio host is upset with the Premier of B.C. after his truck window was smashed in downtown Kamloops.

Terry Evans says he and his wife were helping his daughter move in Victoria. The pair were on their way back to Alberta, and while in Kamloops this morning his driver-side window on his truck was smashed in.

That happened in the Delta Hotel parking lot, on Victoria Street between 5th and 6th avenues.

Evans says his Alberta license plates were “hidden,” but his Edmonton Oilers decal was showing. He reported the incident online to Kamloops RCMP and has not heard anything back. Nothing was stolen from his vehicle.

Evans is the morning show host for K97 in Edmonton, a sister radio station to Radio NL under Stingray Radio.

He feels the incident was because his vehicles is from out-of-province.

“I’m a born and raised B.C. boy residing in St Albert, AB. Helped my daughter move to her new place in Victoria this past weekend, contributed a couple grand to the local economy woke up to this in Kamloops today. Too much faith in the good of B.C., I suppose,” Evans says on Twitter.

In his posts today, Evans also called out B.C. Premier John Horgan for his comments last week when asked about repeated allegations of vandalism against vehicles with out-of-province license plates.

Horgan asked for calm, and for people to be courteous to people visiting from outside of B.C. during the pandemic. But in the same breath, he said, “with respect to those who have offshore plates and are feeling harassed, I suggest perhaps public transit. I would suggest that they get their plates changed, I would suggest they ride a bike. I can’t tell people how to respond.”

“Your [Horgan’s] suggestion that out of province travellers should ride a bike or take a bus is the most asinine thing I’ve heard from an elected official. Sheer stupidity and arrogance. Perhaps speak out against these kinds of actions,” Evans says.

Horgan has responded to the incident, saying on Twitter that “no matter someone’s circumstances, where they come from, or what’s on their license plate, this is never acceptable.”

“We must all be respectful of each other. This pandemic has taught us that we’re at our best when we look out for each other,” the Premier said today.
