@AmazingZoltan They’re delusional

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@p_pedahi @Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 Well, if you voted for her policies then Chris Dyson’s statement talks about how she moved away from them.

Do you want to win an election or not? Go support OneBC & see that party obliterated while handing the NDP a win or suck it up, stay with us and let’s make change happen

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@p_pedahi @Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 This fake conservative bs needs to stop. Conservatism encompasses a lot and if you’ve ever been to a policy convention you’d see that conservatives come in all shapes and sizes, and share many varying opinions. Don’t try to shoehorn everyone into your small box.

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@p_pedahi @Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 I’m against those things too…. Big time! So is the remaining conservative caucus.

Maybe not but he gives insight. If you combine his statement with what the MLA’s are saying it makes sense. It’s not a witch hunt, the party needed to be protected.

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@p_pedahi @AnthonyRussoBC By who? The party was front and centre. The police are already probing some things. If you mean the threats of leaking audio then I agree, although it must’ve been a doozy for them to quit.

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@sitkamedia If the BC electorate buys into this shit I’m moving to Switzerland.

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@p_pedahi @AnthonyRussoBC Can you accept that KLF fucked up? Listen to the MLA’s, listen to her campaign manager..

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement from Christopher Dyson, Campaign Manager for the Honourable Kerry-Lynne Findlay PC, KC — Leadership Campaign

VANCOUVER, B.C. — September 22, 2026 —

The Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay PC KC has resigned as Leader of the BC Conservative Party just over 90 days since the May 30, 2026 Leadership Election. I thank her for her service and congratulate our new Interim Leader, Lorne Doerkson, on his new position.

When I joined the team as the campaign manager, my candidate was in sixth place and had roughly 5–8% of the intended votes. When my team and I finished on May 30, the candidate won with 51% on the final ballot. I wish to thank the volunteers, the donors and the members who refused the long odds. They gave their evenings, their miles and their money when there was no guarantee of anything except a fight worth having. They believed in building British Columbia and on May 30 they proved themselves. That win belongs to them.

The campaign team won in no small part due to our detailed policy of massive expansion of trade, energy, transportation and industrial corridors between British Columbia and the rest of Canada. This vision was known as the Western Alliance and I am pleased to have developed that policy with the candidate. My vision post-election was also to unify the party with a welcoming approach that would connect existing conservatives and make new members feel included.

During the leadership campaign, I was led to believe that Ms. Findlay, a former federal cabinet minister and decorated KC lawyer, also shared my expansive view of the Party and the Province. Many of you also believed that as well.

After the win, Ms. Findlay and her then Chief of Staff decided to go in a different direction. In my view, it was a narrower one. The former Chief of Staff did not appear to understand the subtleties of the leadership campaign, the current complexion of our Party or the vision to bring people together instead of separating them. Our campaign was built on a wide coalition: long-time conservatives, new members, and people who had never before seen a place for themselves as conservative. After May 30, many of the people who built that coalition found themselves on the outside and most of the campaign team was among them. I believe that was a major mistake. I say so with regret rather than bitterness.

That unfortunate chapter is now closed but the future of our Party and Province is not - yet.

My ask of every supporter is to unify but also to understand that we are fighting for the future of the province for our children and their children. Put the Conservative Party of British Columbia back on the side of the people who sent it into public life in the first place. This province was not built by factions cutting each other down while a failing government kept the keys. It was built by people who still believe British Columbia can lead inside Confederation instead of mismanaging its own accelerating decline.

We have one opponent now: an incompetent and ideologically extreme NDP government that has driven this province into the ground and will do it again if we give them the time. Our deficits of $13.5 billion a year will take years or decades to recover from. A $1.3 billion "clerical" error is just one of many examples of poor governance. There is no time to waste. A pending election may be called at any time. Our task is to save British Columbia, win our place in government and transform our Province into a leading economy worthy of a G7 country.

I look forward to walking that road with you.

@Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 That’s the thing… she made a lot of mistakes quickly and caucus obviously saw a problem. We need to give them the benefit of the doubt and not burn the place down.

This is better than Hansard.

@NateWeber13 @Anthony__Koch You’ve still got time to make up your mind.

Ask yourself… on Oct 25 do you want to be celebrating a win or do you want to be agonizing over another 4 years of NDP rule?

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@Anthony__Koch @GurvSC

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@Dave_Eby You already have a majority as long as Trump’s in office.

You’re wasting our hard earned tax dollars and are disrespecting our municipal election candidates.

But thanks for the gift. We can show you the door 2 years early. 💪🏽

@Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 So the claims against her like Apollo Chungs recording, the private investigator, not showing to meetings, etc didn’t happen?

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@Pistolp902 @AnthonyRussoBC @ChrisDyson99 You don’t have to get into your reasons for not caring what Chris Dyson says but considering the accounts of the MLA’s & staff, could you be incorrect in your statement about her having to moderate her views? Maybe the MLA’s deserve credit for protecting what they helped build.

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

@Prominent_Bryan He’s going to learn on Oct 24 that he did.

[Bryan Breguet @Prominent_Bryan]

Who are you voting for in the upcoming BC election?

[Critical Thinking Conservative @brighterdays26]

This is a good take

[Blair King @BlairKing_ca]

I cannot imagine a better outcome for the BC Conservatives than the extreme right wing fleeing to OneBC and allowing the Conservatives to cultivate all those voters in the middle who don't want to be associated with Kat and her crew of "content creators & influencers"
