Kerry-Lynne Findlay elected new leader of B.C. Conservatives

Listen to this article 5 min The election of Kerry-Lynne Findlay as the new leader of the Conservative Party of BC signals that party members have firmly rejected the more centrist vision put forward by current and former MLAs Peter Milobar and Iain Black in favour of a loud and proud social conservatism.
