Almost 200 pages of research on the B.C. Conservative Party, which sources within BC United confirm were compiled before the party dropped out of the election campaign to support their former rivals, have come back to haunt the new alliance.

Two BC United members, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Saturday the documents were the result of research compiled by the party before the election campaign, but denied being sources of the leak. “There are some obviously that still believe David Eby’s approach is the right approach and want to do everything they can to support him,” said Rustad.
Portions were then shared by NDP candidate Ravi Parmar on social media platform X on Friday, and distributed by the NDP communications team in a short document titled “BC Conservative MAGA conspiracies.” It also includes material about Rustad that has already been highlighted by the NDP, including a speech in May last year in which he said children should not be expected to “eat bugs.”
Ravi Kahlon, the NDP candidate for Delta North, said in an interview Friday that he is calling on Rustad to drop the candidates named in the “BC Conservative MAGA conspiracies” document ahead of Saturday’s nomination deadline.
