The University of B.C. is apologizing after one of its instructors urged their class to get out to the polls 香蕉视频直播� but only if they voted for a Liberal candidate.
The email was sent out to first-year psychology students on Sunday. It starts as a generic reminder for students to vote in advance polls on Monday, but turns partisan at the end.

香蕉视频直播淭he instructor simply did not see the reference to the candidate. There was no intent to send out a partisan message and the instructor and the department regret the error.香蕉视频直播�
