NDP MLA Melanie Mark says new infrastructure funding a boost for community services

John Rustad refuses to condemn his MLA’s post promoting B.C. as a U.S. Protectorate

When asked by reporters about BC Conservative MLA David Williams’ post showing B.C. as a “Protectorate of the United States,” John Rustad refused to say they were wrong.

Instead he dodged the question:

Reporter: Now, John, can you talk about the Facebook post by MLA Williams? Can you talk a little about that aspect?

John Rustad: I don’t really have a comment for that…

Reporter: But John, did the MLA not correctly read the room, considering the quasi-endorsement of Western separatism?

John Rustad: You’ll have to ask him about that.

John Rustad and members of his team have consistently stood with people who support Trump, and opposed actions to stand up to Trump’s unfair and unjustified tariffs, including opposing retaliatory tariffs, banning Red State liquor, and voting against a motion to condemn tariff threats to B.C.

BC NDP MLA Ravi Parmar: “John Rustad won’t show leadership and stand up to Trump, but we will. We look forward to John Rustad making his MLA available to answer media questions about why he was promoting a plan for B.C. to join the United States.”
