    1. I wonder if we might have another 5-10 MLAs leave the Conservative caucus at this point.

      I can’t wait for anti-NDP Party 2: Right-Boondoggloo.

      Though if it’s called the British Columbia Party I’m going to lose my shit.

    3. That’s #2 today right?

      I’m losing track TBH.

      Who knew BC politics was so feisty?

      Wow. It looked bad when it happened to Poilievre, but it looks so much worse when it happens so rapidly. In the past two weeks, the party has lost 10% of the party’s total seats won in the 2024 election, and others left during Rustad, too. They’ve lost a total of 10 MPs since last election due to departures. Nevertheless, given how awful the party and its leader’s social views are, this is a win for BC.

      As for the leader, Findlay is tearing down the party a record speed. She might not even make it to the election as leader at this rate. It’s doubtful the BC Conservatives can lose many more MLAs before people start calling for her job.

      There is a creeping doubt that the BC Conservatives will survive through next election. There are too many new, more rational options are popping up. I know BC has some very right-wing areas, but I have to imagine what is the closest party to MAGA in Canada isn’t going to do well if there are other conservative and centrist options available. Time will tell, I suppose.

    5. In hindsight, the BC Liberals could have kept their name and waited one election cycle for the Liberal brand to recover and become associated with Carney.
