The Conservative Party of British Columbia hasn’t won an election since 1926, and hasn’t won a seat in 50 years. As recently as the 2020 provincial election, the party earned just 36,000 votes. But in 2024, the party surged in popularity, nearly toppling the long-thought invincible B.C. NDP.
Then came interparty turmoil, which led to the ousting of their leader, John Rustad, and a leadership election that went on for months. In the end, it was narrow, and the B.C. Conservatives elected Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
Today on the Big Story, host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Mo Amir, host of This is VANCOLOUR, a daily politics and news show, to find who she is and what she’ll bring to the party.
