Conservative MLA Resignation Offer Scandal | Calgary News

A brewing scandal rocks the B.C. Conservative Party as MLA John Paton alleges he was offered a two-year advisory role with legislator pay to resign from Delta South — an offer allegedly made by party leader John Findlay’s chief of staff in July. Paton claims he declined, unaware it might violate law, sparking RCMP inquiries and raising alarms among other departing MLAs. Findlay denies wrongdoing, calling the accusations “preposterous” and insisting any recordings are routine political chatter. With seven MLAs recently leaving over leadership disputes and a byelection looming, the fallout could reshape the party’s future — and the legal consequences may be just beginning.
