Two former members of the B.C. Conservatives, who have been sitting as independent MLAs for months, have announced the formation of a new provincial political party.
Dallas Brodie, MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena, stated in a social media post that she is the interim leader of the party named One BC. Tara Armstrong, who represents Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, will serve as the House Leader.
Brodie elaborated that she established the new party to “combat the globalist assault on our history, culture and families” and promised a 10-year vision for a “prosperous tax-free B.C.”
According to Brodie, the party intends to “defund the reconciliation industry,” “eradicate gender ideology,” “end mass immigration,” and “unapologetically advance pro-family policies.”
She also mentioned that the party will end the “government monopoly on healthcare” and introduce new funding models for infrastructure.
Earlier this year, B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad removed Brodie from his caucus due to her comments regarding residential schools. Armstrong and Jordan Kealy followed days later, though Kealy is not part of the new party.
A statement issued Thursday afternoon by the B.C. Speaker’s office indicated that they have not been advised of any MLAs changing party affiliation. However, if two or more members become affiliated with a registered political party, they would form a recognized caucus in the legislature.
One BC has been registered as a party with Elections BC, with Brodie listed as the interim leader and former B.C. Conservative candidate Tim Thielman as the contact.
