The interim leader of British Columbia’s Conservatives says they are united and ready to fight an Oct. 24 election, putting the chaotic final weeks of Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s leadership behind them.
Interim Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson, who replaced Findlay on Sunday, says NDP Leader David Eby is going to regret Tuesday’s election call.
Eby says the snap election that he called less than halfway through his government’s mandate is needed because of an existential threat of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump and because it is never wrong to ask British Columbians about the direction of the province.

He says the Conservatives have been weak on Trump, saying they “fan the flames” of his threats.
Doerkson says it’s a “cynical snap election” that nobody wants and will cost tens of millions of dollars, but it offers an opportunity for change.
He has welcomed back to the Conservatives a dozen or so legislators who quit the caucus or were kicked out by Findlay.

Peter Milobar reunites with the BC Conservatives
They include legislators who briefly joined CentreBC under the leadership of Peter Milobar, who says they are now coming back together as a party of progressive ideas and conservative values.
But the Conservatives have lost former Surrey mayor Linda Hepner, who announced Tuesday that she won’t be running again in Surrey-Serpentine River.
Three NDP cabinet ministers have also said they won’t be running again: Health Minister Ravi Kahlon, Emergency Management Minister Kelly Greene and Agriculture Minister Lana Popham.
Uh-oh, my Jay-2 personality got really mad and didn’t like my last comment. You can tell because he adds all the smiley faces and calls me a “f**king loser.” He doesn’t like being told the reality of the situation with this news story and knows the NDP just made a big mistake. He sympathizes with the chugs, and probably knows the new Con government will try to reverse the DRIPA stuff that the NDP goofed up on. I think we’re ok Jay, McDonald’s isn’t going anywhere and neither are the homeless chugs who service our hog in the bathroom stall.
Really Doug? That’s interesting. I didn’t realize that the white settlers were illegal immigrants to Canada. I guess you learn something new everyday
Did you know in 1610 John Guy established the first permanent colony of English-speaking illegal immigrants in Canada at Cupids in Newfoundland

So the NDP will lose three cabinet ministers this election and in the last election 5 failed to get re-elected.
In these to elections Eby will have lost 1/3 of his elite core.
Rats leaving a sinking ship.”
Bla bla blablabla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

got to give the NDP the boot”
Got to give crusty old NAZlS like you the boot. Oh well you’ll be dead in a few years anyways. Just like Doug’s dad
Get rid of the NDP and Eby.
got to give the NDP the boot
My Jay 2 personality has been using Doub B’s name a lot. Too funny!
It’s too bad this opportunist Eby is dumber than a chug on fentanyl and called a useless election nobody wanted. Municipal elections are next month too. Now he’s just p issed everyone off, lol!!! In 2 years the NDP have barely held a 5-point lead over the Cons despite the Cons’ party being in constant internal chaos. Biggest deficit in BC history, DRIPA, costs of living going up and up, healthcare quality going down and down, destroyed forestry industry, and on and on…..it’s no wonder the BC population actually decreased in 2025 for the first time in history! Bye bye Eby! You should have known what Canadians tend to do with bad parties launching early elections against another party just getting their leadership settled. hahaha

I will vote for anyone but Eby. Eby and this NDP government have destroyed BC and if he gets in for 4 more years BC will be totally finished because they will carry on with their failed drug programs, more companies will close, more taxes, more land give away, more homeless and record numbers of people using food banks. Eby will feel all powerful and there will be no stopping him. What has EBy done to help the people of BC NOTHING except take the US alcohol off the shelves which does nothing. Trump is Carney’s problem and has nothing to do with the state of BC it’s all down to Eby and the NDP.”
And all you’ve done is cry like a bltch and make up stories about Eby on the internet. Looks like he’s accomplished a lot more than you ever will hey dumbass

I just realized why they rehired Mr.Rustad for his expertise….Christmas is around the corner and that means gingerbread houses!!!!
This flip-flop party is still an unstable mess. They should have stayed with Centre BC and build something fresh and new.
These idiots aren’t ready for a traffic light never mind an election!!!!
