The Opposition British Columbia Conservatives have scrapped an appearance by new interim leader Lorne Doerkson and his caucus, citing a possible snap election call.
The cancellation was announced by the party’s caucus amid looming expectations of an early election being called by B.C. Premier David Eby after a flurry of campaign-style announcements.

Doerkson’s news conference in Richmond, B.C., would have been his first public event with his caucus since being appointed after Sunday’s resignation of Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
He has moved swiftly to reconstruct the party’s parliamentary group, which grew to 29 members on Monday with the return of five MLAs who either quit in recent weeks or were kicked out by Findlay in the dying days of her leadership.

The Conservatives have been trying to put up a united front after the recent turmoil as election expectations grow, less than two years into Eby’s mandate.
The NDP caucus met Sunday night to discuss election plans and Findlay’s exit, while Eby said last week his legislators needed to be “election ready.”
Hey Doug did you know in 1610 John Guy established the first permanent colony of English-speaking illegal immigrants in Canada at Cupids in Newfoundland
I don’t care if JV uses one of my fake names on here. The truth is I wish David Eby would shove his d!ckp!ckl€ straight up my a$$
Hahahahaha look how triggered Doug Brekfaust is because I’m posting under one of his fake names 🤣🤣
Centre-Right coalition here we come!
Give them a day or two and all will be in order!
I see JV the d!ckp!ckl€ is at it again , , cowardly hiding behind the alias’s of others again.
A d!ckp!ckl€ describes a person who has low intelligence and ability but sky-high confidence. It’s a very unfortunate combination. It came into lexicon more recently in 2026.
It’s the prefect description of Jay Voorhees.
As long as CenterBC and the conservatives don’t split the vote this election is already over.
All any candidate needs to do is say they will repeal DRIPA Anne they will win.
Anyone who votes for Eby and the NDP is asking for more of what they have had. Eby and this NDP government have destroyed BC and have done nothing to help the people get through in this bad economy except pull the US alcohol off the shelves which has done nothing to help. Maybe if they reduced taxes that would help but they won’t. Instead he wants to take credit for not imposing a tax we don’t even have yet How can we be saving money we weren’t spending in the first place.
Let’s get to it and do our part to keep the CONs out of office. They are nutters!
We need fixed election dates. And we need common sense among conservatives but that seems to be lacking.
Findlay ran away like the coward that she is… but hey at least she had the balls to show her face. I just hide behind a computer screen like a coward and talk trash on the internet allday. I have a Facebook page but of course I’m too afraid to post a picture of myself on there. I just have some stupid fake painting of the settlers as my profile picture and nothing else. Duhhhhh dill pickle! huh huh huh
Central bc wants to align with conservatives?. They just abandoned them. Why would conservatives fall for it a second time. All the castaways were just liberals in conservative suits anyways
Lorne Doerkson started as a BCLiberal. He then jumped to BCUnited. Now he’s a BC Conservative.
Can’t make up his mind what he stands for politically?
Seems he stands for himself.
“British Columbia Conservatives”
Cracks me up every time I see this.
Eby was always the best man for the job and he still is. Too bad so sad for the white power boys in BC
Lol let’s hear what DORKson has to say about the most pathetic political party in BC next to OneBC. Oh wait I forgot OneBC isn’t actually a legitimate political party anymore… My bad 🤣
