“We have endeavoured to conduct a principled campaign and condemn any efforts to misinform the public.”Ĭapital Daily has reached out to Culbert for comment on her dismissal. “ore information has been published concerning the alleged origin of this email and an individual connected with our Elector Organization has been accused of sending it,” the release said. On Monday afternoon, VIVA Victoria released a statement saying it had “parted ways” with Culbert, while continuing to deny any involvement in or knowledge of the email. The email account was deleted at some point during the morning. When asked over text about her phone number’s involvement with the email account, Culbert did not respond. However, Culbert has not previously been publicly identified for her affiliation with VIVA, adding to the coincidence of her number being attached to the email address.

Capital Daily entered Culbert’s phone number into the account recovery page, and a text message with a recovery code was sent to that number.Ī recovery number being the same as an individual’s phone number is not in itself proof that the email address belongs to that individual: it is possible to use a phone number that doesn’t belong to the person who created the account. However, the recovery phone number for the email account is the same as Culbert’s phone number, which has been used for official communications on behalf of VIVA Victoria and is also referenced in social media posts made by Sundance Playschool. “We want to be clear - we had no prior knowledge, did not send & disavow this communication,” VIVA tweeted. VIVA Victoria’s media relations representative Alyson Culbert-owner and director of Sundance Playschool and Victoria’s People’s Party of Canada candidate in 2019-declined to comment, directing Capital Daily to a statement from VIVA’s Twitter account denying its involvement. “Island Health does not endorse candidates,” communications representative Andrew Leyne said over email. Island Health confirmed with Capital Daily that the email is not from them. “I just imagined how many people getting this email.” “I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't,” she recalls. That’s when Morris realized the email originated from and not an official government email address. “I noticed that it basically endorsed the entire slate,” she says. She says she routinely gets emails from government ministries related to childcare, but this one seemed unusual. Morris is a self-employed bookkeeper who regularly works with preschools, the Ministry of Children and Families, and Island Health in her work.
