Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad crosses the floor to B.C. Conservatives
Rustad, who has represented the riding of Nechako Lakes since 2009, has joined the Conservative Party of BC.
Rustad is not stranger to controversy. BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon had kicked him out of the caucus in August 2022 after boosting a Facebook post that doubted the climate change. He also recently questioned the current vaccination mandate for public health-care workers. The conservative party has gone through various changes over the years, winning a mere 35,902 votes, or 1.91 per cent, across 19 ridings in the 2020 provincial election.Rustad told reporters he wants to help build the party but has no plans to actively recruit other members of the BC Liberal caucus to join him to gain official party status with bumps in salaries and access to additional resources.
