Trudeau recalls Parliament Deadman on B C voters list
Fred Quilt a Chilcotin Indian whose death last November sparked inquests remains on the British Columbia general election voters list. Quilt is listed as a farmer from Hanceville B C polling division 24 Cariboo riding. Campaign staff note no other adult by that name exists locally. Quilt died November 30 after injuries allegedly caused during police removal from his truck. A second inquest found the injuries came from an unknown force. Local officials and Indigenous groups criticize the voter listing as typical and ridiculous.
