Help... dunno... but moral support:

Five BC Cons members recently voted against condemning US tariffs and to enable retaliatory tariffs and then Rustad tried a laughably "never gonna happen" no confidence vote against Eby. BC Cons aren't a non-threat but they certainly are laughably incompetent.

Con opposition has three buttons they push at random:

  1. It is the fault of the (non-con) leader
  2. We need to cut costs (services)
  3. Trickle down

They have no other response.

Wow, do they ever throw the non-confidence if they're even close. Like shit to a wall they just hope it sticks.

There's so much in that article wow.

Firstly:

On Monday, Rustad asked the party's attorney general critic, Dallas Brodie, to take down a social media post which critics say amounts to residential school denial.

After that one candidate's comments calling indigenous peoples "savages" like, fucking wow, get your shit together. Most of Canada's at least pretending to give a shit about the genocide they did now, get with the program.

Secondly, I'm confused about the "voting with their conscience" thing. I guess I don't know enough about politics but it doesn't make sense to me to make everyone vote for the same thing if they should be voting with their constituents in mind. Not all constituencies are alike, so why would you force them to fall in line and piss off their voters?
