MLA Chapman Leaving B.C. Conservatives for One BC
Chapman said the party changed from the one he joined and cited growing caucus disagreements after 14 MLAs left the group.
- Surrey South MLA Brent Chapman left the Conservative Party to join OneBC on Tuesday, days after his wife, former leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay, resigned on Sunday, September 20.
- Chapman cited the leadership process and recent months as making this "deeply personal for me," as he watched Findlay endure attacks from people she once stood beside.
- Turmoil gripped the caucus, with 14 MLAs quitting or being removed. Chapman stated, "Conservative values are not the same as they were before," citing ideological drift.
- On Tuesday, Chapman criticized NDP Premier David Eby's snap election call, saying it was "not surprising from this premier" and "quite outrageous" during municipal voting.
- Chapman believes British Columbia needs OneBC's values, including a 50% tax cut on income under $100,000, "Quebec-style control over immigration," and removing SOGI from classrooms.
