Whelp! The BC Conservative party's Twitter account says Rustad has been removed as leader because he is "professionally incapacitated"
Unclear whether that's actually in line with the party constitution
Per the release, Trevor Halford selected to serve as interim leader #bcpoli

A game of he said, they said. BC Conservative Party and board say leader John Rustad has been removed, Trevor Halford appointed interim leader.
Rustad insists he is not going anywhere and the move is against the party constitution.
BC politics is always entertaining.

6 years ago the 1st case of SARS-COV-2 appeared in Wuhan, China - as the news trickled out of the almost panicked response by the Chinese government around Christmas both my nurse wife and I said, we are going to fuck this up.

Carney is in trouble. The Alberta MOU is just sinking in with party members, my timeline and messages are full of bitterly angry people emailing their Liberal MPs, cancelling memberships, pulling donations.

I actually think @maxfawcett.bsky.social 's take on the Carney/Smith pipeline deal completely misses the mark. Our PM simply isn't good at politics - he went 'Elbows Up' on Trump, then killed counter tariffs, now selling 3 things that should never be built - nuclear, dilbit pipes and AI
