BREAKING: B.C. United says B.C. Conservatives walked away from talks

B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon said Friday he has a “clear conscious” after confirming that talks about a proposed “non-competition framework” with the Conservative Party of B.C. under John Rustad had ended after two meetings.“I have to tell you today that John Rustad ultimately made the decision that that’s not something that he wants to proceed with and he is going to put his personal ambitions, as he views them, above the best interests of the province,” Falcon said.

Rustad also reiterated his promise that the Conservatives would run candidates in 93 ridings in framing the election as a choice between his party and the B.C. NDP under Premier David Eby. “Yesterday we announced that over 600 new affordable homes are coming to metro Van,” B.C.’s Housing Minister and B.C. NDP House Leader Ravi Kahlon wrote on X. “Today these guys are squabbling over who killed their backroom deal. can’t afford the nonsense these guys would bring in.”Today these guys are squabbling over who killed their backroom deal.We will stay focused on being there for people. https://t.co/lk2fNSpd4XThe non-competition framework proposed by B.C.

The agreement also included provisions for a potential coalition government after the election. If their combined total seats had exceeded the seats of the B.C. NDP, the parties would have agreed to form a coalition government. The leader of the party with the most seats would have been become Premier, while the leader of the party with the fewer seats would have become deputy premier and held a senior cabinet posts.
