Nechako Lakes MLA Rustad joins Conservative Party of BC

VICTORIA — Independent MLA John Rustad has joined the Conservative Party of BC.

The Nechako Lakes MLA says he’s proud to join the newly rebranded party to fight for “freedom, common sense, and a stronger BC.”

“I’m fighting alongside British Columbians, because I know a stronger, freer and more compassionate BC is possible — and I consider myself one of the thousands of other British Columbians who are fed up with the false choice between BC NDP or the BC Liberals’ NDP-lite approach,” says Rustad.

“We’re going to make history in the next election — because for the first time in decades, we’re going to give British Columbians a renewed coalition party — a party that fights for people instead of party insiders,” says Rustad.
