Warbus Resigns Over Party's Indigenous Approach | Vancouver News

Áʼa:líya Warbus, a respected Indigenous voice in BC’s legislature, has resigned from the Conservative Party amid growing discomfort with how the party frames Indigenous land title issues — particularly under leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Warbus, from the Stó:lō Nation and deeply rooted in Indigenous governance, felt these constitutional matters were being weaponized as divisive racial wedge issues, contradicting her core values of community, family, and spirit. She feared contributing to an “us versus them” mentality and expressed concern about stoking racial tensions. Having long considered leaving during the leadership transition, she now prioritizes representing her constituents with integrity, regardless of party affiliation. While acknowledging the deep political divides around reconciliation, Warbus remains hopeful for collaborative solutions and believes meaningful progress will emerge through unity and positive action.
