B.C. Conservative Leader Stands by Candidates Amid Controversy

John Rustad defends candidates criticized for remarks on Indigenous and Muslim communities ahead of provincial election.

B.C. Conservative candidates Dallas Brodie and Brent Chapman face backlash for controversial comments on Indigenous and Muslim communities.
The B.C. Muslim Association has called for Chapman's removal after his past comments about Palestinian children were deemed Islamophobic.
NDP Leader David Eby criticized Brodie's remarks about First Nations' responsibilities in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside as ignorant.
John Rustad, B.C. Conservative Leader, maintains that voters should decide the fate of the candidates in the upcoming election.
Rustad's party has yet to release a costed platform, with advance voting already underway and election day approaching on October 19.
