Who is John Rustad?

Politics
Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: John Rustad, Conservative Party of BC

I, along with many of you, have been surprised in this election year to see Mr. Rustad in a head-to-head with Premier Eby for the province’s top job… while the BC Liberals/United have basically disappeared.

What is going on? And how did we get here?

Well, we know some of the backstory from newspapers: the messy split between Kevin Falcon and John, leading to John sitting briefly as an independent and then his surfacing as the leader of a previously pretty quiet Conservative Party of BC.

Lo and behold, something about this reinvention has appealed to many British Columbians.

So, I ask again, who is John Rustad? What would his priorities be if he were to be elected Premier? Or, alternatively, how would he handle the job of Leader of the Opposition?
