A former BC Liberal cabinet minister says he'll consider voting for the BC NDP if BC Conservatives don't shift to the political centre, especially on the issue of climate change.
BC Conservative Party Leader John Rustad discusses his alliance with the BC United Party, and how he plans to welcome BC United candidates into the Conservative fold.Former BC Liberal cabinet minister Terry Lake says he’ll consider voting for Premier David Eby’s New Democrats if the BC Conservatives don’t shift to the political centre, especially on the issue of climate change.
Lake, an environment and health minister in former premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government, says in an interview he may have no other choice in his Kamloops riding if BC Conservative Leader John Rustad maintains his party’s stances on environmental and social issues.
Rustad, who was ejected by Falcon from the former B.C. Liberal caucus for his skeptical views on climate science, said this week the Conservatives will not be making changes. Eby had posted on social media on Thursday that his phone was “blowing up” with calls from former B.C. Liberal voters who could not bring themselves to support Rustad, saying the NDP welcomed such voters with concerns about climate change, reproductive freedom and building up the health care system.
