B.C. Conservative leader, Doerkson, gets game boost from current and former premiers
Doerkson and Christy Clark wore Lions gear as the interim Conservative leader remained out of public view after an election was called.
- On Friday, Interim B.C. Conservative Party Leader Lorne Doerkson attended a B.C. Lions football game in Vancouver alongside former Liberal premier Christy Clark, watching the Lions face the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
- Doerkson became interim leader on Sunday following the resignation of Kerry-Lynne Findlay; he met with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Clark to discuss strategies for changing the provincial government.
- Frustrated by the snap election call from NDP Leader David Eby, Doerkson stated his party is "ready to rock" with campaign tours and platform announcements while residents share his frustration.
- Clark called the election timing "absolutely unheard of" and "a disgrace" given it came less than two years into Premier Eby's mandate, denying she played matchmaker between opposition factions.
- Doerkson aims to field candidates in all 93 ridings despite describing the party's internal struggles as "visually obvious" following a caucus revolt and Findlay's resignation months into her leadership.
