Building Momentum and Looking Ahead: AOCC Forum Unites Chinese Canadians for BC Elections
On June 14, 2026, the Alliance of Chinese Conservatives (AOCC) hosted a successful forum in Richmond, BC. Discussions focused on the BC Conservative leadership race, federal-provincial interactions, countering NDP attacks, and boosting Chinese Canadian civic engagement.
1/ Leadership & Unity
Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay elected BC Conservative Leader. Membership exploded from ~7,000 to over 42,000 in under 5 months. Despite a close 51-49% win, the forum called for unity across factions. Every vote matters — Chinese Canadians should help strengthen the movement.
2/ Proactive Federal-Provincial Interaction
Federal MPs (incl. Chak Au) endorsed Findlay. Poilievre and Harper congratulated her. BC Conservatives are aligning with federal “Common Sense Conservatism” on drugs, crime, property rights, parental rights, and resources. Historic coordination could boost BC’s role as Canada’s Asia-Pacific gateway.
3/ Countering Attacks
Forum rejected NDP/media personal attacks and labels (“MAGA”, racism claims). Focus must return to real issues: public safety, affordability, education, and property rights.
4/ Next Election Outlook
Polls: BC Conservatives lead NDP 45% to 41%. Key battleground ridings in Metro Vancouver (Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam) were won by tiny margins (e.g. 22 votes). Chinese Canadian voters can decide the outcome.
Chinese Canadians, let’s take action: Stay informed, vote, join the party, and run for office. Together we can protect our families on drugs, safety, housing, and education.
Let’s build momentum and shape the future!

If you have Chinese-reading folks who'd care — friends, family, WeChat groups — I'd appreciate you passing it on. Very few Chinese content covers this topic in depth, and Chinese oversea communities are not fully informed.
We just published a long-form Chinese piece — an editorial adaptation of Billboard Chris's interview with Kerry-Lynne Findlay, BC Conservative leadership candidate (former federal MP, former Canadian Human Rights Tribunal judge), now running to legislate against child gender transition medicine in BC.
A long-form, publication-grade article covering the medical history of the field, the BC political situation, the legal mechanics, and her actual plan if elected — one of the few Chinese-language treatments of this issue at this depth.
Every day I hear from small business owners and families who feel they are working harder for government than government works for them. They want hope restored, good paying jobs, and lower taxes so they can build a secure future.
Leading with purpose means bringing clarity and focus to turn this around. It means creating the conditions where people invest in British Columbia again and where the economy works for families, not against them.
That is why we are surging and momentum is building. The latest Leger poll shows British Columbians are responding to this clear vision.
I am grateful for your support. It comes because you see a united team with a practical plan to deliver real prosperity and opportunity.
Together we will build that future.
I have deep respect for the hard-working men and women of this province. You pay your taxes, build our communities, and keep our economy moving every single day. You deserve a government that honours that effort by spending your dollars carefully and wisely.
Instead, the NDP has treated taxpayer money with recklessness, driving our debt to $183 billion in just four years. Leading with purpose means we will conduct the core reviews needed on our finances and the public service. Governments do not create wealth. They must prioritize responsible spending so families and businesses can succeed.
That is why our momentum continues to build. The latest Leger poll shows British Columbians are responding to this message of respect and renewal.
I am grateful for your support. It comes because you see a team that respects your hard work and has a clear plan to restore fiscal responsibility and real opportunity.
BC Conservative members,
I am honoured and humbled to be chosen as your next leader of the BC Conservative Party.
Thank you to every member who placed their trust in me.
Together we will defeat the NDP and restore prosperity to British Columbia.

🇨🇦 Marking the 20th anniversary of the redress for the Chinese Head Tax!
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stated that Prime Minister Harper’s apology was a long-overdue justice for a "grave injustice" based on race. Despite facing immense hardships, the Chinese community has always built this country with hard work and determination.
Our sincere thanks to Chak Au, Member of Parliament for Richmond Centre-Marpole, for hosting today’s commemorative event in Richmond. We are deeply grateful for the immense contributions the Chinese community has made to Canada's prosperity!
"We are all Canadians, of all backgrounds, can build life through hard work here in the best country on earth."

Since I became leader of the BC Conservative Party, our focus has been on uniting our movement and leading with clear purpose. The latest Leger poll shows that this approach is already resonating across the province. Momentum is building, and British Columbians are responding to a vision rooted in principle, competence, and results.
This means we have a steady hand on the wheel. It means standing up for property rights, lowering the cost of living for families, making our communities safer, and unlocking the full potential of our resource economy. It means rejecting the NDP’s failed policies that have driven up debt, weakened services, and left too many people behind. It means delivering a government that serves British Columbians rather than controlling them.
This poll reflects a growing confidence that we can do better. People are looking for a team that will unite, not divide. A team that will put British Columbia first and deliver real change for every family, in every region.
Let us get to work.
I am grateful to Peter Milobar and to every MLA who met with me one on one this week. These conversations have been productive as we prepare for the responsibilities ahead.
Our team is focused and moving forward with purpose. We will defeat the NDP government, end the decay it has brought to our healthcare, our economy, and our communities, and deliver the results British Columbians deserve.
We have important work to do, and I am optimistic about what we can achieve together for our province.
British Columbians deserve leaders who have fought for their rights and won. I took my law degree to the Supreme Court of Canada and prevailed in a landmark property rights case. I have served in leadership roles in the legal community and earned the designation of King’s Counsel.
David Eby as premier and former attorney general, his government refused to defend fee simple property rights in court, creating uncertainty for homeowners across our province.
I have proven I will stand up for your rights. As your premier, I will restore certainty, cut red tape, and deliver the prosperity British Columbians deserve. Join me.
I am running to be your next Mayor of Richmond to end the drug sites, freeze the taxes, stop wasteful spending at city hall, and defend our property rights. Together we can fix our city. See you soon with our Conservative Richmond team.

As your newly elected Leader of the BC Conservative Party, I bring senior-level experience that will serve every family in our province.
I served as a Cabinet Minister in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, where I helped deliver lower taxes, cut red tape, and return the country to a surplus after the worst recession in decades. That experience taught me how to manage government responsibly and put people first.
I was appointed Chief Opposition Whip by Pierre Poilievre, the first woman to hold the position. In that role I was responsible for uniting and leading a large national caucus with discipline and focus.
I am also a King’s Counsel, an honour that reflects decades of legal expertise and a deep commitment to the rule of law and property rights.
As a senior lawyer I have spent decades defending the rule of law and property rights. In the late 1990s, as a young widow with small children, I bought a leasehold property on Musqueam land in South Vancouver. When the Musqueam First Nation sued the homeowners, I helped lead our legal team through a long and costly battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. We won that case in 2000 and protected the property rights and equity of those families. That experience taught me firsthand how critical it is to defend fee-simple ownership and certainty for every British Columbian.
These roles have prepared me to lead with seriousness, competence, and results. While the NDP under David Eby has delivered economic vandalism, growing debt, failing services, and chaos, I am ready to restore competent, principled government that works for British Columbians.
Together we will unite our party and build a stronger, more prosperous British Columbia.
The Alliance of Chinese Conservatives (AOCC) extends our warmest congratulations to our Advisory Board Chair, Hon. @KerryLynneFindlay, on her election as the new Leader of the @Conservative_BC! 🎉
BC is ready for change. Under your strong leadership, we are confident that we will defeat the NDP in the upcoming provincial election, fix the crises in our communities, and bring normalcy back to British Columbia.
AOCC stands with you all the way to victory! 🇨🇦🗳️
