BC Conservative leader John Rustad was expelled from the BC Liberal Party in 2022 over controversial views on climate science

The BC Conservative party’s official “climate policy” explicitly rejects the idea that climate change is a “crisis.”

In August 2022, Rustad retweeted a tweet from prominent climate science denier Patrick Moore casting doubt on climate science.: “The case for CO2 being the control knob of global temperature gets weaker every day,” said the tweet amplified by Rustad, adding that people should “celebrate C02.”

    I don’t understand how people in BC can be looking at our neighbouring province and thinking “yeah that is what we want”.

      That’s because during the oil boom years all the newly wealthy from AB bought homes in BC. All over the place. On the coast islands, the Okanogan, the shushwaps. Just full of good ole boys now.
