Independent MLAs Dallas Brodie and Tara Armstrong have launched a new party, OneBC.The duo vowed to fight to undo "nearly a decade of socialist policies."."OneBC is for British Columbians who are proud of their history and aren't afraid to fight for a prosperous and beautiful future," Brodie said in a video posted to X. "After nearly a decade of socialist policies, our province is falling apart, and when I realized that none of the other parties had the integrity or courage to make the bold changes we need to survive, I knew it was time to build something new."Brodie said OneBC would work to "reverse the flight of capital, talent, and young people, combat the 'globalist assault' on our history, culture, and families, [and] rebuild our corrupted institutions and crumbling infrastructure.".Notably absent from the new party was fellow Independent MLA Jordan Kealy.."At this time, I've made the decision not to join the party, as my current focus remains squarely on the people of Peace River North," he wrote in a post on X. "As an Independent MLA, I believe I can best serve my constituents by staying rooted in the local issues that matter most — whether it's infrastructure, economic development, healthcare access, or supporting our rural communities."Kealy noted, however, that he's "always open to collaboration and conversation.""Politics is dynamic," he added, "and I'm watching the development of this new party with interest. If, in the future, our values and priorities align more closely, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of working more closely together. For now, I remain committed to doing the job I was elected to do — standing up for Peace River North and delivering strong, independent representation in the Legislature."
