British Columbia NDP leader David Eby was upstaged by a wasp that flew down his shirt and stung him during a news conference.
Eby was delivering remarks in Chilliwack on Thursday while on the election campaign trail when the insect interrupted him, prompting him to swat at his neck and identify it as a “bug.”
But seconds later he was apparently stung, scrunching up his face in a grimace as he told reporters it was a bee that had made its way down his collar.
In fact, it was a yellowjacket that Eby eventually flung to the ground where it was later stepped on by a member of his staff.
