FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Statement from Christopher (Chris) Dyson, Campaign Manager, for the Honourable Kerry-Lynne Findlay PC, KC

May 20th 2026

We respond to allegations surfacing in the mainstream media about an alleged Elections Canada investigation regarding the Honourable Kerry-Lynne Findlay PC KC.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s campaign has received no notice whatsoever from Elections Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections regarding any investigation.

Ms. Findlay first learned of the alleged complaints through the media, and as of the morning of May 20, 2026 she still has not received any official documentation, any contact from “investigators” and no indication that any formal process has been initiated. The media publication by Mr. Rob Shaw and others place Ms. Findlay in a very unfair position of being asked to respond publicly to allegations that have not even been presented to her by the alleged investigating body.

One would think that if Elections Canada had credible concerns, the candidate and her campaign would no doubt have been contacted directly by now. Instead, unproven and anonymous allegations have been leaked to the media at the most politically damaging moment possible, just days before the BC Conservative leadership vote concludes. We also question whether a fair “investigation” can be done when supposed materials and untrue hearsay relating to the alleged investigation are being pushed through the media in a way designed to damage the reputation of Ms. Findlay at a critical moment in the BC Conservative leadership race.

The allegations made in the media are false. We welcome genuine media scrutiny and accountability. What we will not accept is the media being used as a tool by any individuals working in the interests of rival campaigns or the BC NDP to smear a strong and ethical candidate through baseless defamatory innuendo.

We strongly encourage Rob Shaw, Business in Vancouver, and other media sources to examine the motives and reveal the identities of the so-called “sources” pushing their narrative through the media. We also would encourage Mr. Shaw to focus on our candidate’s vision to advance British Columbia’s interests and reinvigorate BC’s stagnant economy.

The Honourable Kerry-Lynne Findlay will not be distracted or derailed by these tactics. These types of baseless attacks only demonstrate that certain mainstream media gatekeepers and anonymous accusers are afraid of her strong Western Alliance vision of reinvigorating BC’s economy by building new energy and transportation corridors connecting BC to the rest of Canada and the world.

The anonymous sources are clearly afraid that Ms. Findlay has a winning campaign that is on the verge of winning the BC Conservative Leadership race. They clearly do not wish to see British Columbia asserting itself in a strong position within Confederation under Ms. Findlay’s leadership.

Instead of responding to false and divisive allegations, Ms. Findlay would rather focus on unifying the BC Conservative Party in just mere weeks, presenting her vision to restore British Columbia’s economy and defeating the incompetent BC NDP.

Our campaign is fully committed to offering British Columbians a viable alternative to the failing BC NDP through the BC Conservative Party under the strong, experienced and unifying leadership of the Honourable Kerry-Lynne Findlay PC, KC.

We will respond fully and transparently to the false allegations when and only if we receive any official notice from Elections Canada.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

CHRISTOPHER P. DYSON LL.B, B.A. (Economics)

The political class has spent years expecting ordinary people to stay quiet, fall in line, and stop asking questions. That era is ending fast. The more scrutiny this leadership race faces, the more certain insiders seem to panic. #bcpoli

Happy Second Anniversary to this pivotal moment in the history of politics in British Columbia. #bcpoli

The agency overseeing British Columbia elections says it will issue a recall petition against OneBC legislator Dallas Brodie.

After the countless messages, calls, and pressure campaigns, let me make this clear: those tactics don’t work anymore. Not on me, and not on the public.
And when senior members of a campaign start applying pressure behind the scenes, people have a right to know.
Caroline Elliott’s team should be ashamed of themselves.
To those receiving messages threatening your career, position, or future opportunities for speaking out: come forward. You’re not alone. #bcpoli

We have a pitch for the Kerry-Lynne Findlay campaign:

[Bruce McGonigal @bruce_mcgonigal]

"Influencers" need to stop pretending Caroline Elliott is anything more than a Mark Carney finger puppet candidate.

[Frank Caputo @FrankCaputoKTN]

This is atrocious.

Like Peter, I (proudly) have indigenous family through marriage.

This is morally indefensible; Conservatives must deal w/the fallout from such words (and resulting stereotypes).

Remember, our words remain when leadership races end. Last, family = off limits.

[Todd Doherty @ToddDohertyMP]

Today I released a letter raising serious concerns about Liberal insiders and lobbyists operating inside the BC Conservative leadership race.

Conservatives in BC deserve a leader who will unite the movement — not empower the same people who worked to defeat Conservatives federally.

British Columbians are counting on us to get this right.

Caroline's comm person doing a "no holds barred" interview of her candidate

Finally someone asking the real tough questions. Amazing

She should skip the next debate, this interview is enough

[Jas Johal @JasJohalBC]

1/3 It amazes me how some supposed “true blue,” candidates continue to demand Conservative purity tests. Look at this write up on Kerry-Lynne Findlay from 1997. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

[Carol Fielding @CarolFielding1]

@leahcaldow @AnthonyRussoBC Be careful Leah, I can tell you from first hand knowledge, she will do what the big money boys that forced the collapse of BCU tell her to do! That collapse had a 2year window & expires Aug 2026! Don’t kid yourself, those talks are happening! She is the Queen of backroom deals!

[Carol Fielding @CarolFielding1]

@Donwright88 @AnthonyRussoBC Should be no surprise, their Aug 2024 deal to collapse the BCU campaign had a 2 year window on it! The clock is ticking! Plan B was always on the back burner! If the BCC failed to get their house in order Falcon would “bring the parked plane out of the hangar in 2years”!

[Anthony Russo @AnthonyRussoBC]

To my friends still inside the Caroline Elliott campaign: the private conversations happening right now are shocking. Some insiders are already discussing reviving the BC Liberals if she loses. Many of you came into this with good intentions but where’s your line in the sand? #bcpoli

Today is McHappy Day!

Today, a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold at McDonald’s supports Ronald McDonald House Charities, who ensure that families with sick children stay together during difficult times.

My staff and I enjoyed a great lunch from the McDonald’s in downtown Ottawa, and we encourage you to stop by your local McDonald’s to show your support.

🚨WATCH: Caroline Elliott CONFIRMS her view that Canada “has a racist past.”

Not my words, hers.

This is the “conservative” you want leading the BC Conservative Party?

[Tom Reinhart @tomreinhart1978]

If anyone still doesn’t think Caroline is a fraud, PLEASE watch this.

*******She said the NDP should have put vax mandates in SCHOOLS********

🚨BREAKING🚨

American Tribes using DRIPA/UNDRIP/8.1 Interpretation Act to challenge approvals of major B.C. mining projects.

This is happening on several fronts by several tribes.

From Alaska to the Kootenays.

The NDP government is desperate to keep this under wraps.

➡️Below is an Alaskan Tribe seeking to disrupt the ESKAY CREEK gold mine in the Northwest.

Numerous references to DRIPA and Eby’s 8.1 amendment to the Interpretation Act as leverage to have projects cancelled.

This is now a sovereignty crisis.

We are being duped by the NDP.

DRIPA may tear our province apart by US Tribes who are sophisticated and extremely well funded.

A crisis the NDP is hoping to keep secret.

The NDP’s answer to this crisis is to negotiate for 6 months about an unknown outcome.

In the meantime, court cases pile up, trials will begin.

I can’t believe what I’m witnessing.

After losing 40,000 jobs in 2 months, the NDP is trying to change the channel by reannouncing projects and taking credit for them.

Despite millions spent on fb and a machine that is capable of getting a freaking endorsement from the NP, Elliott is as known as Iain Black lol
