Pierre Poilievre is backing Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the newly elected leader of the BC Conservatives, hoping she’ll steer the province toward affordability and safety—especially after she narrowly won on the fourth ballot over commentator Caroline Elliott.

A clear rift emerges as the party charts its new course. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
