‘Our province and its people are worse off today than they were just 7 years ago’: Sturko

“On the biggest issues, including affordable housing, cancelling decriminalization of deadly drugs, fixing our broken health-care system, making our streets safe, and putting our natural resources to work growing jobs and our economy, the Conservatives make sense as that new coalition,” said Sturko.

    B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon said on CKNW this morning he considers Sturko’s defection a “personal betrayal.”

    B.C. United spokesperson Adam Wilson said in a statement: “Elenore’s decision to run for a party that is so out of line with her values and priorities in a new riding is shocking, and shows she cares more about her pension than her principles.”

    On the weekend, NDP MLA Mable Elmore shared a social media post from Paul Ratchford, the B.C. Conservative candidate for Vancouver Point Grey, in which he called Sturko a “woke, lesbian, social justice warrior.”
