The meteoric rise of the BC Conservative Party – “from three to 39,” as leader John Rustad puts it in poll terms – is without question Canada’s political phenomenon of 2024.
He arrived and circulated alone, talked about anything anyone wished, fielded some hard questions, and laid out enough of his vision to make clear a Premier Rustad would be a different species. By the time he was waiting for a taxi about three hours later, enough people knew enough to then take his message forward.
But the pressure remains because the poll numbers suggest neither his party nor Eby’s would today take a majority of legislative seats, so the question remains on whether some sort of anti-NDP alliance in some ridings might make sense. Rustad was booted by Falcon for a social media post that suggested skepticism about climate change science and urged people to “celebrate CO2.” But it was a last straw, not a first straw, in a strained relationship over their conservative visions. In his talk to the room Wednesday, Rustad didn’t deny climate change, but said more had to be done to cope with it than to plan for it.
