As BC United seeks to fend off a challenge from the right, it's turning its sights on what it considers to be extreme right-wing candidates running for the BC Conservatives.
There was another big shake-up at the legislature. In the Friday, June 7, 2024, edition of Focus BC, host Richard Zussman speaks with BC Conservative leader John Rustad about two United BC MLAs joining his party this week. Also, poll analyst Eric Grenier discusses the conservative surge unfolding in the polls and issues around the NDP's popularity.BC United Leader Kevin Falcon has a new slogan that he and his party intend to use frequently in the coming weeks and months.
Over lunch last week, Falcon told me he intends to aim his party’s sights on what it considers to be extreme right-wing candidates running for the BC Conservatives.He said he intends to make it clear that not only do the BC Conservatives have no connection to the federal Conservative Party, but that they are closer ideologically to the People’s Party of Canada, which is a far-right fringe party.
Scrase became the third Conservative candidate ousted for intolerant or anti-science views. We shall see if there is more to come. Sturko’s move had been rumored for weeks but still came something as a shock, given her repeated public denunciations of the BC Conservatives and their leader John Rustad. She also provided plenty of “private” denunciations in the form of texts and emails to BC United staff and MLAs, much of which will likely surface publicly at some point.
