It is unclear who exactly launched a website urging B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon to resign, but B.C. United has an idea.
Adam Wilson, B.C. UnitedB次元官网网址檚 director of communications, said in an emailed statement to Black Press Media that the party does not respond to questions resulting from B次元官网网址渁nonymous social media accounts or websites.B次元官网网址�
But Wilson added that there is B次元官网网址渘o evidence it is run by any former members of (B.C.) UnitedB次元官网网址� and that B次元官网网址渋s more likely another underhanded scheme from John RustadB次元官网网址檚 (B.C.) Conservatives after he torpedoed negotiations last week.B次元官网网址�
Provincial Conservatives said in a statement that they do not know who made this website.
B次元官网网址淥ur candidates have been asked not to get involved with this BCU infighting,B次元官网网址� it reads.
When asked for comment about B.C. UnitedB次元官网网址檚 claims, the Conservatives repeated their statement: B次元官网网址淲e have no idea who made this website.B次元官网网址�
Several attempts by Black Press Media to contact the self-described B次元官网网址済roup of long-time (B.C.) Liberal activistsB次元官网网址� claiming to be behind resignkevin.ca have gone unanswered.
The website blames Falcon for a B次元官网网址渟eries of decisions and actions that have harmed the chances of defeating the NDPB次元官网网址� following his B次元官网网址渋ll-considered return to politicsB次元官网网址� as leader of then B.C. Liberals, now B.C. United.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 time for a change within United to move forward from the biggest impediment to a free enterprise cooperation agreement in British Columbia,B次元官网网址� it reads. B次元官网网址淔or the sake of all British Columbians, Kevin Falcon must do the right thing and step aside.B次元官网网址�
The website argues that FalconB次元官网网址檚 resignation B次元官网网址渨ill allow for real conversations and negotiations to happen between the free enterprise partiesB次元官网网址� that would be B次元官网网址渇ree from ego, based on current political realities and grounded in a workable solutionB次元官网网址� to defeat the B.C. NDP.
The website acknowledges FalconB次元官网网址檚 resignation B次元官网网址渋snB次元官网网址檛 an ideal course of actionB次元官网网址� but sees few alternatives.
B次元官网网址�(Due) to an obstinate leader with delusions of grandeur, we are left with few other options to engineer the cooperation that is so desperately needed.B次元官网网址�

According to publicly available information, the website went online on May 21 B次元官网网址� one day before the second and final of two ultimately unsuccessful meetings between B次元官网网址渢rusted emissariesB次元官网网址� from both parties to sound out B次元官网网址渃ommon groundB次元官网网址� between the two parties, as Falcon had described that process this month.
Falcon announced on May 24 that the B.C. Conservatives under John Rustad had rejected B.C. UnitedB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址済enerousB次元官网网址� proposal for a non-competition agreement between the two parties.
B次元官网网址淚 have to tell you today that John Rustad ultimately made the decision that thatB次元官网网址檚 not something that he wants to proceed with and he is going to put his personal ambitions, as he views them, above the best interests of the province,B次元官网网址� Falcon said.
Rustad responded by saying that B.C. UnitedB次元官网网址檚 non-competition agreement was not a serious offer and would have led to another NDP government.
B次元官网网址淜evin Falcon says publicly that he wants to put his ego aside, but privately, any discussions or B次元官网网址榦ffersB次元官网网址� have been completely unserious and dishonest,B次元官网网址� Rustad said.
This exchange between Falcon and Rustad seems to have set off a series of exchanges between their camps on social media. Both faced off against each other again Monday (May 28) B次元官网网址� albeit not together B次元官网网址� on a popular morning radio show airing across Greater Victoria.
B.C.B次元官网网址檚 Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said his government is focused on making sure people have supports they need. B次元官网网址�(Kevin) Falcon and John Rustad continue to be focused on fighting each other.B次元官网网址�
