I have a funny story about Andrew Wilkinson.
So my dad is the president of the Vancouver Polish Community Association in Vancouver (That building near the corner of King Ed & Fraser)
In tradition, they do a big annual harvest festival every September (with the exception of this year obviously) with food, drink, & entertainment. I go to volunteer with running the A/V setup for the stage.
My dad always invites a few local politicians or representatives from various organizations. Don Davies (Federal NDP MP for Vancouver-Kingsway) always shows up, usually a provincial MLA, a rep from Vancouver City Hall and so on.
They usually do a meet & greet, with appies and stuff with these VIP guests before the events begin.
One year they're doing the VIP hob nob thing and my parents (who are also staunch provincial NDP supporters their entire life) see this dude in the room and they're talking to him and they're giving each other the "Who the hell is this guy?, what is he doing here?" faces. Turns out that Wilkinson was who the BC Libs sent to represent them at the event, but didn't tell anyone. It wasn't until he got up on stage to give the speech for the BC Lib rep that they realized that's who it was.
His speech was pretty good though.
