RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA — A veteran Opposition member announced her defection to British Columbia's Conservatives on Tuesday, becoming the fourth elected member to bolt to Leader John Rustad's right-of-centre party ahead of the fall provincial election.
"After countless conversations with the constituents in my riding of Richmond North Centre, it became clear that the number 1 issue I hear all day, every day, is that the B.C. NDP must be defeated in the next election," she said at a news conference alongside Rustad."It has also become clear that the best party to defeat the NDP is the B.C. Conservative Party."
BC United was formerly known as the B.C. Liberals, but party members supported a name change in April 2023. "For them to get back to a place where they are contenders, something huge would have to happen," said Polak."I'm not surprised," Polak said."Teresa works hard. She knows her community and she's going to be looking and saying, 'where do I best line up.'"
