BC Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay urges unity after caucus retreat
British Columbia Conservative Party leader Kerry‑Lynne Findlay said the party is unified and ready to engage with voters following a caucus retreat at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. She emphasized a summer outreach tour and framed the party as a government‑in‑waiting, while noting she herself does not currently hold a legislative seat.
Findlay downplayed the recent floor‑crossing of Penticton‑Summerland MLA Amelia Boutlbee to the NDP and did not comment on whether Independent MLA Tara Armstrong might rejoin. She raised policy points including Alberta’s new pipeline proposals, BC’s agreement with the federal government, and called for a western alliance to eliminate inter‑provincial trade barriers.
