BC United MLAs Ian Paton, Peter Milobar and Trevor Halford are joining the B.C. Conservative party to run in the Oct. 19 provincial election.
Dale Parker, the BC United candidate for Nanaimo-Gabriola, had just received a stack of lawn signs and brochures when his party imploded. Days later, he’s the riding’s B.C. Conservative candidate, wondering if he can recycle them.
That was Wednesday. On Sunday, he got news that he’s in as the candidate for the riding and Conservative Viraat BK Thammanna is out. As someone who has served on a variety of committees and organizations in his community, he said he was excited to be nominated as the Conservative candidate in Nanaimo-Gabriola.
“I believe this Conservative Party of B.C. is no longer Conservative but running under the guise of the name Conservative,” Weber wrote on Monday. “They have allowed many BC United candidates to infiltrate the party and have lost sight of the real Conservative values we as Conservatives hold dear. Rustad said Tuesday that BC United MLAs Ian Paton, Peter Milobar and Trevor Halford are joining his party in what he called a sign of “growing momentum” to unite the ticket.
