Episode Details

B.C. Conservatives are reeling as another MLA, Ian Paton of Delta South, breaks away to become an independent—just weeks after Peter Milobar followed suit. With eight MLAs already gone or expelled in recent years and former leader John Rustad stepping down, the party’s stability is under fire. Paton, a seasoned farmer and longtime legislator who switched from Liberals to B.C. United before joining the Conservatives, publicly refused to step aside for leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay—a move that underscores growing internal fractures. Compounding the turmoil, Reann Gasper is also stepping down to clear the way for Findlay to run in a byelection. The Conservatives’ once-promising path to power now feels increasingly fragile.
