“Too little, too late”: B.C. Conservatives slam province over delayed action on extortion crisis

Interim Conservative Leader Trevor Halford and Surrey MLA Mandeep Dhaliwal say the province woke up late to the extortion crisis, questioning why urgency came only after months of violence and fear. They call for stronger leadership, more policing resources, and greater community coordination as victims continue to suffer across Surrey. The conversation also touches on the growing B.C. Conservative leadership race, with Halford confirming he will remain neutral while the party prepares to choose its next leader.
