BC Conservative Caucus Removes Party Leader Rustad

[Brad Sallows]

Boring stuff but it’s really the type of thing the very chief people in the country need to be on top of.

What we need is some way to pass information between consumers and producers that conveys demand.

lol. Thanks for calling ChickenCo. Your call is important, but we still don’t give a frig. Press 1 to not leave a message, or 2 to repeat this menu.

Now that you mention it, why do I get 'Rambo movie sequel' revenge vibes about all this

B.C. ostrich cull started a ‘new kind of war’ after birds gunned down, family says​

Patisney said the death of the ostriches is not the end of their fight, but the beginning of a new one about accountability.

Yeah whatever. Lets say these birds were not culled and the virus mutated and killed off a bunch of us.

Then the cry would be "why didn't the government DO SOMETHING" said in a whiny bitch voice.

Well, with deep thinkers like this, it seems BC is in good hands.

B.C. MLA wants statutory holiday to honour Freedom Convoy

A B.C. legislator who previously argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be recognized as a statutory holiday is proposing a new one that would celebrate the self-described “Freedom Convoy.”

I absolutely love the the middle finger ball these two are. lol

Apparently there have been 16 million birds killed recently to contain avian flu - your Christmas turkey may be a lot more expensive this year.

What's the price of a single .12ga turkey load ?

Kirk LaPointe: What John Rustad's leadership cost British Columbia​

By trading governing seriousness for grievance politics, he weakened the very opposition needed to hold power accountable


Instead of outlining alternative housing frameworks, he fixated on pronouns. Instead of debating energy transition policies or the future of LNG, he held fast to rhetorical battles over climate science. Instead of offering disciplined critique of the government’s economic policies, he leaned into social media algorithms and grievance politics.

The cost of all this is not just that Rustad became a niche figure, but that the province lost a functioning opposition at the precise moment when one was most needed. British Columbia’s political system relies heavily on competitive pressure to keep governments responsive, innovative and transparent. Rustad’s leadership blunted that. His Conservatives pushed themselves into identitarian corners that absorbed attention but yielded no policy architecture, no institutional ability and no realistic path to governing. They got louder at the expense of getting smarter.

The biggest sin, he made Eby and the NDP look moderate and non-scary, which has been traditionally difficult to do in B.C. The NDP always used to lose if faced with a single free-enterprise party. Rustad and the B.C. Tories had a wide open field against the NDP and still managed to bungle it. Then when Eby said “Haha, fooled you!” Rustad and his clown car posse still managed to make the NDP look competent.
