Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier says he is 'not going anywhere' despite the implosion of his party, BC United, raising the prospect he could run as an independent.
We're learning more today about the unravelling of BC United and who knew what and when. As Aaron McArthur reports, many candidates were blindsided learning of Kevin Falcon's plan just before the public. But problems in the party started long before that.The shockwaves from the implosion of B.C.’s Official Opposition BC United continue to be felt, with one of the party’s veteran MLAs not ruling out an election campaign on his own terms.
Bernier said he has not received a phone call from BC Conservative Leader John Rustad about joining the party, nor has he heard from Falcon.“My main objective is to see that the NDP don’t get back in,” Bernier said.
