CP NewsAlert: Emergency meeting for Opposition BC United

Aug 28, 2024 | 1:47 PM

VICTORIA — A BC United legislator says he’s called an emergency meeting of the party caucus to discuss the future of British Columbia’s official Opposition, less than eight weeks before the provincial election.

Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier says he’s been unable to reach Leader Kevin Falcon amid reports the party is folding, while the rival BC Conservative Party says leader John Rustad will be making a “major statement” about the election at 2:40 p.m.

Bernier says there’s “obviously something going on” but he was unable to say exactly what, and his phone has been “blowing up” with calls from concerned staff and other MLAs.
