OneBC Splits After Board Ousts Dallas Brodie as Armstrong Breaks With Leader

The board’s action leaves the two-seat party at risk of losing its official standing in the legislature.

Overview

  • Party documents posted on X allege agents acting at Brodie’s direction tried to seize control of assets and access security systems, prompting special resolutions to remove her, launch an internal probe and amend the constitution.
  • MLA Tara Armstrong says she will not caucus with Brodie and will write to the Speaker to advise that Brodie is no longer part of the OneBC caucus.
  • Dallas Brodie disputes the move on social media, lists herself as interim leader for a Langley event and describes the situation as “a little turbulence.”
  • The party’s website no longer references Brodie, and documents include signatures from Armstrong, executive director Paul Ratchford and former chief of staff Tim Thielmann, whom Ratchford says is no longer employed by the party.
  • A planned OneBC candidate, Mike Harris, says he will no longer run for the party, citing the unfolding turmoil.
