Selina Robinson, the British Columbia Post-Secondary Education Minister, has made headlines for stepping down from her ministerial position amidst a storm of controversy. The outcry began over her remarks about the founding of modern Israel, sparking protests outside a BC NDP caucus retreat. Premier David Eby announced her resignation, with Brenda Bailey taking over her responsibilities immediately. Selina Robinson, despite her resignation, will continue as a member of the NDP caucus.

The resignation came after mounting backlash over Robinson's comments and actions, particularly her portrayal of historic Palestine as "a crappy piece of land." This led to demands for her removal from cabinet by pro-Palestinian groups. To address the situation, Robinson announced she would undergo anti-Islamophobia training as she steps down as the minister of advanced education.

Amidst the growing NDP backlash and calls for Robinson's dismissal, Premier David Eby officially confirmed her resignation from the position of Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. The decision was met with mixed reactions, with discussions swirling about potential score-settling within the party.

In a dramatic turn of events, the ongoing saga surrounding Selina Robinson's resignation has raised questions about the handling of controversies within the BC government and the NDP. As the dust settles, the impact of this political turmoil continues to reverberate through the province's political landscape.
