Vancouver Rundown Thursday August 21, 2025

The leader of the upstart One BC party has filed a private prosecution accusing a well-known pro-Palestinian activist of terrorism. Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie - who broke away from the BC Conservatives - accuses Charlotte Kates of a variety of terrorism offences relating to statements made at anti-Israel protests in Vancouver. Outside the courthouse on Main Street, Kates’ supporters shouted, calling Brodie a fascist and right-wing bigot. Crown prosecutors will now review the court filing and decide whether to take any next steps.
