John Rustad @johnrustad continues to scramble to catch up @Dallas_Brodie .
He would do better - and would look less ridiculous - if he just apologized and accepted that she was right all along.
The truth was not actually hard to see but John was weak and gullible.
All that whispering nonsense about "knowledge keepers" needs to be treated with the contempt it deserves if it is shown to be lies.
There are no bodies at Kamloops and ex-pupils of quite possibly bad schools are not "survivors".

Canadians were told there were 215 graves.
The country lowered the national flag for months. Churches were burned. International headlines declared the discovery of mass graves at a former residential school. The federal government responded by allocating $12.1 million in taxpayer funding specifically to support investigation and exhumation work to verify those claims.
Now we learn that no remains have been exhumed.
At the same time, the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations has released the activity reports tied to that funding, but every meaningful detail has been redacted. The reports describing what work was carried out, what investigations were conducted, and how public money was spent have been blacked out and labelled confidential.
That is unacceptable.
When the federal government spends millions of your taxpayer dollars to investigate a claim that shook the entire country, Canadians have a right to transparency. They have a right to know what work was performed, what evidence was found, and how their money was used.
This is not about denying history. It is not about attacking Indigenous communities. It is about basic public accountability.
If the government funded an investigation, the public deserves to see the results of that investigation.
Let me be clear : The records should be released in full. The spending should be explained clearly.
Canadians deserve the truth about what was done with their money. And if that money was not spent for the purpose it was granted for, then the public deserves accountability, including repayment of those funds.

“Division on the right means the NDP wins — again and again.” 🔥
A blunt take on BC politics, John Rustad, and why fractured parties could lock in NDP rule for decades.

Just the political people Marty, plenty of decent people still here hoping for better. @johnrustad @Dave_Eby and the rest of them have really shit the fucking bed in this province. 86 lawyers worked on the Cowinchan thing. 86 leeches of easy government money to upend a society property rights . Reminds me of the end of Fargo when the female cop said all this for a little bit of money.

These are the types of politicians we elect in #BritishColumbia. #BCNDP MLA Stephanie Higginson was the former President of the BC School Trustees Association. It is unacceptable to tolerate politicians with dangerous ideologies like this.

🚨 Boultbee Becomes Fifth MLA to Leave B.C. Conservative Party — Another Blow to Rustad’s Leadership
The B.C. Conservative Party faces another major setback as Penticton–Summerland MLA Amelia Boultbee has announced she’s leaving the party to sit as an Independent MLA.
Boultbee told reporters outside the B.C. Legislature that she has become disillusioned with party leader John Rustad and called on him to resign. She says she plans to collaborate with former MLA Elenore Sturko, who was ousted in September, and may consider returning to the party if Rustad is replaced.
This marks the fifth MLA to exit the B.C. Conservatives since the 2024 election, deepening divisions inside the party.
Political experts say Rustad is struggling to keep the party united, with ongoing fallout from a fake membership scandal and reports of cellphone searches among MLAs.
UBC Political Scientist Stewart Prest says this latest resignation could spell “disaster” for Rustad’s leadership, as the party continues to fracture while the NDP government benefits from the divide.

So instead @johnrustad lies by omission.
He is not a good leader if that is the case.
I will not support BC cons with a advocate for lying at the helm, could you imagine how that would pan out for BC, just a nightmare.
No thank you.

🚨 Breaking: B.C. Conservative MLA Elenore Sturko expelled from caucus hours after leader John Rustad survives leadership review with 70% support.
Sturko calls Rustad a “terrible leader” & “liar”, urges colleagues to remove him. She remains MLA — independent or others joining her? We’ll see after caucus meeting.

Canada has nothing set up for this and no way in heck should we be going to the USA for this. #johnrustad wants us to pay triple. If it was in the states, we'd be paying double.

David Eby says “buy local”—then hands a massive shipbuilding contract to a Chinese state-owned company.
BC shipyards got nothing. Local workers got nothing.
This is NDP hypocrisy in action. Elbows down?

Well said. thanks.
@bcndp are virtue signalling & engaging a 'facts on the ground' strategy/policy to normalize & legitimize 👇#UNDRIP, which they know is legally non binding. There is no legal (or moral?) basis for what they are doing.
Yet they persist? Why? @vancouversun

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by the Khalsa Aid Kelowna booth during this year’s Nagar Kirtan! We were honored to connect with so many community members and share our mission of selfless service and humanity first.
This year, we also had the joy of tying turbans for many visitors, offering them a chance to experience an important part of Sikh identity and culture. The enthusiasm and curiosity from attendees was truly inspiring!
Special thanks to @harjitsajjan and @johnrustadbc for visiting our booth and showing your support — it was a privilege to welcome you.
And of course, none of this would be possible without our incredible volunteers. Your dedication, warmth, and hard work brought our presence at Nagar Kirtan to life.
Together, we continue to uplift our communities through seva, unity, and compassion.

Anyone see the CCP 🇨🇳 interfering here?
Soon Canada will just be US North and truly assume 51st State status if not in fact, but in reality.
Special thanks to Christian Zionist for enabling the takeover🥴

"Is this being initiated in other provinces?," asks Odessa. Very good question.
This is so serious.
All rule of law is gone in BC!
(I may cancel planned travel there.)
This is stunning.
@JohnRustad !!! time to speak up and act up.
