Selina Mae Robinson (née Dardick; born 1964)[1] is a Canadian politician who was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2013 provincial election and remained in the legislature until 2024.[2]
She represented the electoral district of Coquitlam-Maillardville, first as a British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP) MLA and then as an Independent.[3] She served in the cabinet of British Columbia from 2017 until 2024.
She stepped down in February 2024 after she called Palestine "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it" until the founding of Israel.[4]
