Vancouver Rundown Tuesday September 23, 2025

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Elenore Sturko has been kicked out of the BC Conservative caucus while party leader John Rustad holds on to his leadership. Sturko says Rustad accused her of plotting against him during the party’s leadership review - Rustad has survived that review with 71 per cent of members endorsing his leadership. Sturko has used a Monday evening news conference to call on her former colleagues to ‘grow a set’ and ‘have some courage’ and tell Rustad how they feel about his leadership. Sturko also says she’s raised concerns about the allegations that 2,100 members were fraudulently signed up.
