A second BC Conservative MLA has jumped ship following the party's handling of the situation involving now-former caucus member Dallas Brodie's comments on residential schools.
Tara Armstrong, who represents Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, said that saga was "just the tip of the iceberg."
"I'm leaving the Conservative Party of BC," Armstrong wrote in a post on X. "British Columbia voted for me and other BC Conservative MLAs because we promised to stand up for them and for what is right, no matter the cost, but under John Rustad's leadership, one compromise after another has transformed that party into something I no longer recognize."
She accused the leader of having "abandoned the truth and his moral compass in a quest for power," and suggested "he will end up with neither."
