B.C. Conservative MLA A’a:liya Warbus, one of the Opposition’s most prominent legislators, has joined the exodus from the party’s caucus, saying she has lost confidence in it under new leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
Warbus said in a statement on Monday morning she would sit as an Independent, becoming the seventh Conservative MLA to quit the caucus this month, including five last week.
The Indigenous MLA and former House leader cited the cancellation of a caucus meeting she said had been called for Monday in light of a “reasonable cause for concern” about last week’s “implosion.”
“The decision to postpone today’s caucus meeting for a month reflects the lack of value being placed on caucus members and their opinions,” she said in her statement.
“It is one thing to ask for people’s trust, and quite another to blindfold someone and expect faith alone to substitute for transparency and accountability.”
The Chilliwack-Cultus Lake MLA also said she was concerned about the circumstances surrounding the resignation from the legislature of Reann Gasper to make way for Findlay to stand in a byelection.

Findlay, who was narrowly elected party leader on May 30 but does not have a seat in the legislature, had said last week that suggestions a leaked audio recording showed she illegally offered jobs to MLAs, in exchange for resigning so she could stand in a byelection, were “preposterous.”
Gasper has taken a paid position as Findlay’s deputy chief of staff. RCMP said they were aware of the purported recording of Findlay addressing Conservative legislators, but “does not confirm or deny any investigation, or the identity of any person who may be subject to an investigation, until such time as charges have been laid.”
The party has been in a state of upheaval over the ideological direction and strategies of the party under Findlay since Peter Milobar quit on Aug. 14, saying they had a lack of “ideological alignment.”
Findlay, who has said she will focus on “faith, family and freedom,” has since suffered the losses of Ian Paton, Rosalyn Bird, Teresa Wat, Brennan Day and Bruce Banman.
Neither Warbus nor Findlay immediately responded to requests for comment.
Warbus said in her statement that there had been a “critical breakdown” of communication under Findlay.
“Caucus members have learned of hirings, firings, critic appointments, and leadership positions through any and all channels including social media before being informed by leadership,” she said.
She said it was not just MLAs leaving, but “critical and talented members of our riding associations and staff that we rely on.”
Paton and Milobar have said they will form an alternative party.
Banman rallied other Conservatives to join him as an Independent on Thursday “regardless of political affiliation.” He said many have told him Findlay is “unelectable,” and that under her another election win by the NDP was increasingly likely.
CAN THIS CHUG JUST GO AWAY !!! WHY ALL THE MEDIA ATTENTION ? CHUG CHUG CHUG
Voorhees, why don’t you stop getting owned by Doug all the time and comment towards the actual polls and MLAs actions?
😂
Or are you afraid? 😂
You are such a coward, a troll and Gobshite.
JV since you brought representation. Six Months ago 90% of MLAs who actually “do” represent the electorate wanted DRIPA to be amended, suspended or repealed. Fact. Eby who represents all BC was the initiator of the amendments and suspension. The Public Land Use Society, PLUS, is putting out poll numbers of 66%, 75% and 86% that represent the opinion of those surveyed wanting the decision making powers fully back-with elected officials.
Angus Reid polls had 47% of British Columbians support repealing DRIPA outright.53% feel DRIPA goes too far in limiting provincial authority, a rise from 44% in August 2025. Only 30% view the act as a necessary step toward reconciliation, dropping from previous years. 26% of past BC NDP voters surprisingly support scrapping the law.
These are the numbers JV that represent BC. If you have an issue with those facts then take it up with Global, PLUS and Angus Reids, Eby, Warbus and the 80 MLAs who represent those numbers and voters.
Being on the election!
Even funnier Doug thinks he represents all British Columbians LOL. What a f**king idiot
LOL man I love watching Doug Brekfaust get completely owned in the comment section 🤣🤣

“The misinformation in the comments about First Nations peoples is beyond the pale. I’m not a First Nations individual but do you know what crimes my/our ancestors committed against them? Read a freaking history book!”
Good to see you take up responsibility for the actions of your ancestors. You and anyone else that feels the same way should be the ones who should be held accountable financially for their guilt.
Myself on the other hand should not be held responsible as my ancestors never arrived in Canada until the late fifties and had nothing to do with the First Nations .We caused them no harm.
To group all Canadians into your desire of self flagellation is ridiculous. Not everyone can be held responsible for the actions of your ancestors. Take responsibility for yourself and stop making this a group thing..
Generational trauma only exists when there is someone to feed the victimhood scenario.
One side of my family came to Canada after escaping a Russian “Refugee Camp” and enduring the absolute brutality of the German Army followed by the Russian Army while they were previously living and moving around in the region of the WW2 eastern theater . They were children and teenagers at the time.Some were drafted by force and never survived.
They never cried “victim”. They picked themselves up,worked hard and achieved a better life for themselves despite the first hand real life tragedies they had endured. They came with nothing.
Life is not easy.You either pick yourself up and fight to survive or waste away crying in a corner because your expectation of entitlement doesn’t match the reality you are faced with.
Some will choose this first,others the later, but the later will keep you in chains, by your own decision .
I won’t argue generational trauma, Talk to any Scottish Irish Bosnian Kurd, Palestinian, etc etc. But the question still stands. Whats does that have to do with the rest of societies kids and their futures. Are we going to drop some sort of retro active collective guilt and punishment and taxation burden on people who did nothing wrong other than being born here?
@Doug Brekfaust. Generational trauma is a thing. There have been scientific studies on rats about this as well as people. So to say something was in the past, it’s not to many First Nations people’s.
“ but do you know what crimes my/our ancestors committed against them”.
Ahhh Yes, some very nasty stuff, but it was and is still happening all over the planet. There is nothing special about Canada. I’ll ask this. What does that have to do with our kids and their future going forwards. Some sort retro active punishment on people who had nothing to do it?
Some of 2 tier society where a unelected small minority, acting only their best interests ( times by 240 tribes), decides who how benefits from the use of land.
Don’t be simple, don’t throw out we are all denial of the past arguments. We aren’t it was harsh but that’s the way it was. It’s not like that now.
The question now what? What is fair for everyone now.
The misinformation in the comments about First Nations peoples is beyond the pale. I’m not a First Nations individual but do you know what crimes my/our ancestors committed against them? Read a freaking history book!
We need a John Horgan. (RIP John)
I am not an NDP voter, BUT I felt John rode the Center line in this province. I respected his leadership, even though I did not vote for him.
He was not perfect, as we are all not.
However, he cared deeply about this province which the current parties do not.
Both sides are dividing BC, instead of uniting us.
Most of us surely can be respectful and meet on middle ground.
We need a SBC party. SAVE BC!
Imagine saying to the person that walks all over you everytime you make a hate comment on the internet “I’m toying with you” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man I seriously can’t stop laughing

Lol no hurt feelings here. You’re just another troll to toy with. Hehe
But please. Where is actual hate and disinformation in what I wrote. I am quoting directly from the news presented on this site and MLA Warbus’s own statements.
Example,watch the new polls at the 6 minute mark of the news video. Public Land Use Society is putting out numbers of 66%, 75% and 86% of those surveyed wanting the decision making powers fully back with elected officials. If you have an issue with those facts then take it up with Global, PLUS and Warbus.
But just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s helping the messaging take hold and you giving us a look into how the FN view the rest of us. Thanks and keep up the good work!”
In other words you’re so f**king delusional that you pretend that you’re winning in a province where you’re clearly closing. Have fun visiting the Gassy Jack statue in Gastown… oh wait that’s not there anymore is it. Have fun visiting Trutch Street… Oh wait that’s been renamed already. Have stopping the $1.2 Billion annually to First Nations in BC from the federal government… Oh wait you can’t. Yeah keep pretending you’re winning buddy. Unless you think losing is funny then hey laugh it up LOL. Oh don’t worry we love British Columbians and most white people in Canada. We just don’t like delusional fascists like you. Actually most British Columbians don’t like fascists regardless of their race or skin color. But yeah keep laughing it’s all good. Laughing all the way to the loser’s bracket. Long live the settlers hey Doug Bob! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Doug. That was an interesting video clip. Let’s see if Voorhees has the guts to address to the those polls and results.
According to him it’s just a small minority but those numbers suggest a vastly different view point .
Weeding out the fake conservative opportunists. Love to see it. NDP’s terrible rule will be coming to an end soon before they hand BC over to the injuns, who will sell it to China.
Another troll to toy with yet you make up a bunch of random numbers and baseless claims just like the Conservative politicians that are losing terribly in BC. AND on a story about how the BC Conservatives are falling apart under a fascist leader that’s becoming the new running joke in Canadian politics 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are an idiot Voorhees. Wanting an unelected group of people to have unconditional overriding say over the 95% majority of the population, economy and land is probably the closest thing to fascism your are going to get these days. Do you even think about what you say before start your running mouth?
No such thing as a B.C conservative. They’re just a lighter shade of red.
Isn’t it funny how miserable fascists like Doug Bob like to go around spreading hate and disinformation about First Nations people but then he gets all butthurt when people call him names and insult him on the internet. Aww poor little guy. So angry yet so sensitive 🤣🤣
His weiner was to small for her

Like your opinions hold any weight either. LOL I have already told you many times before JV, but guess your memory fails you. I’ll you tell again because you have some kind issue. I am married to a person a of color. My kids are mixed race. I actually would have preferred Caroline Elliot as she would have been more likely to have held the party together. I do not like Rustad, Trump or MAGA. I don’t like the further lefts of liberal and NDP parties, Eby especially but I do like Carney. I am just right of center as are many. So your lame and irrelevant attempts to discredit opinions, and facts BTW, that disagree with your on opinion through unsubstantiated insult and slander falls as usual on deaf ears here.
FACT! Eby wanted to amend, suspend or possibly repeal DRIPA not even SIX months ago and so did 90% of MLAs, including FN A’a:liya Warbus. Go read up what she said. There is good reason for that. Its not about race its about what’s fair to everyone now in society”
No you LOL. Yeah keep telling yourself that buddy. Yeah what’s fair to everyone in society except the people you don’t like hey you fascist f**king clown. Fascism died in Canada a long time ago Doug Bob. Apparently someone needs to remind you because you’re so delusional that you seem to think it’s still alive and well. The fascist movement in Canada is very unwell much like your mental health. Like I said before bla bla bla NDP bla bla bla FN bla bla bla DRIPA…
Lol the MAGA BC Conservatives are losing MLA’s left and right due to Karen-Lynne Findlay’s incompetence as a political leader and there’s still a bunch of miserable idiots puffing out their chests like she’s already won the election in 2028. Seriously you can’t make this stuff up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like Findlay.
Whomever repeals DRIPA has my vote. Let it be Cons, NDP, Independents i dont care. As long as some party starts getting BC back on its feet without having to pander to the non productive parasites.

Meh just another true Liberal gone. I am surprised she was even conservative in the first place. Good riddance.
Doesn’t change much. The likely hood of this lot stealing votes from the NDP is greater than them stealing votes from conservatives. IMO
At least they all stated that they would have voted to repeal DRIPA. FN A’a:liya Warbus publicly stated she wanted it amended. Only 10 of the combined total 90 MLAs wanted left alone. It really says something about what the general electorate wants eh?
Amending, Suspending it Repealing DRIPA is all really you really need have on your platform these days to win.”
I took a big shlt this morning that is more relevant than your opinion. Bla bla bla NDP bla bla bla FN bla bla bla DRIPA. That pretty much sums it up LOL. Anyone that spews racist disinformation about FN and immigrants and you’re all over them like a fly on shlt. You’re the perfect example of the type of trash that supports a politician like MAGA Karen-Lynne Findlay. You’ll be blindly following like a sheep until the bitter end 🤣🤣
@Ben. There is no far far right party in BC or even in Canada. I wish there was honesty as UPC is not even right wing enough for me. I prefer hard right.

Hilarious how these people are being called liberals or NDP. The Provincial liberals in BC were right of centre and the Provincial conservatives are far far right.
😆 another one bites the dust. Don’t know why these “lieberals” think they could fool anyone by changing their name to BC Conservatives (which oddly happened before the last Federal election when the Lies were tanking under Trudeau) when we all know most of them were part of the Lieberals in BC under Crusty Clark and Guzzle it Gordon. Not saying the NDP lead by Eby are a good choice either any longer, so it looks like all we can hope for in BC is a minority for a while
I would leave too if I had to answer to a racist boss.
It appears the party was infultrated with Liberals and NDPs. Seems to be the way of politics these days is to sneak within your opponent party. Lesson learned Mark Carney.
How many of them are wanting to leave Alberta’s con party or already have and Smith said she didnt want it public? I’m just curious considering shes the only person that doesn’t agree with the “trade war”
Hahahahaha oh man this is turning out to be the funniest shlt ever 😂😂
