New B.C. Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay has filled several roles on her leadership team with loyalists.
Findlay, who currently does not hold a seat in the legislature, has appointed Chilliwack-area MLA Heather Maahs as interim leader, while Sheldon Clare, a Prince George MLA, is the house leader for the Official Opposition.
Both endorsed Findlay during the leadership race, as did Kelowna-area MLA Macklin McCall, who will serve as whip.

She has also appointed lieutenants to cover regions in the Interior, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and two MLAs to look after stakeholder relations, including Brent Chapman, Findlay’s husband.
Findlay says in a statement that her new leadership team represents a unified force from all parts of B.C., tasked with holding the NDP government to account.
She says the Conservatives are building a “big tent party” where B.C. residents of all walks of life are welcome.
“The B.C. Conservative Caucus is more united than it has ever been and is ready to take on the NDP when the legislature resumes sitting in the fall, and form government after the next election,” she says.
Clare’s appointment to the role of house leader means that he is replacing A’a:liya Warbus, the party’s only Indigenious MLA.
Warbus, who is a member of the Sto:lo Nation and the daughter of former B.C. Lt.-Gov. Steven Lewis Point, was first appointed to the role by former leader John Rustad.
Actually SM -CBC – “ 73 leaseholders had said they faced bankruptcy if they lost the case. Kerry-Lynne Findlay speaks for the leaseholders. “This decision means that this has now become a community where it is possible to live,” she says. “It’s now possible to survive economically.”
They won the case at the Supreme Court of Canada.
This is after The country’s highest court says the rents can go as high as $10,000 a year. The federal government, which is the official landlord, and the Musqueam Band had wanted $24,000 to $36,000 a year from each tenant.”
But nice try SM, she was also only the lawyer, very weak attempt.
Don’t forget she also claimed bankruptcy when she couldn’t pay her leasehold bills to Musqueam. You wonder why she doesn’t like Aboriginals. Worst possible pick to lead the Conservatives away from re-electing Eby. Time to re-invent a centre-right party.
Wouldn’t have been my first choice.
I prefer a middle ground leader. But good riddance to Rustad and soon to be RIP Eby.
Bring on a vote!

Typical whlte trash politician making whlte trash political moves. I guess that’s what happens when you’re applying for MAGA regional manager
She reminds me of Trump. A liar and a thief. Not to mention a disgusting racist. I wonder if she has a criminal record?
About time we get a center right party here . She will be a good leader.
An appointnent that ensures an NDP relection.
Sounds good.
B.C conservative? Pretty sure they’re just a lighter shade of red.
