The Opposition: BC's John Rustad on tariffs, parental rights, election integrity and the NDP-Green alliance
B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad sits down with Rebel News’ Drea Humphrey to discuss pressing affairs including a BC NDP-Green coalition, U.S.-Canada trade tensions and parental rights in this new year exclusive.
As British Columbians usher in the new year, they also face the reality of a newly configured political landscape.
Premier David Eby's NDP government, clinging onto to power with a razor-thin one-seat majority, has entered into a coalition with the BC Green Party, whose two seats now hold the balance of power.
Meanwhile, the Conservative Party of British Columbia, led by John Rustad, now leads the largest opposition in the province's history, with a total of 44 sitting MLAs.
In today’s report, I sit down for an exclusive interview with Rustad for a wide-ranging conversation.
The interview delves into key issues that could shape the province's future, including the looming threat of trade tariffs from the U.S. if Canada doesn’t get its border security under better control, the ongoing debate over parental rights and the controversial SOGI curriculum, and concerns surrounding the integrity of BC's election system.

I am wondering why nobody is talking about the HPOA act in this province. HPOA opens the door for mandating any protocol in medicine that they chose and eveyone will have to comply, and if the medical professions don’t and that includes alternative practitioners they will be fined from $200,000. to $500,000 or facing 6 months or more in prison. In addition, confidentiality is out the window. The burocrats can come into your office and take all your records and you will have no say about this. This includes psychotherapists, and counsellors as well as all the rest. Why aren’t you and Rustad talking about this???? Please bring this up….because we now have fascism in this province and it is slipping in right under our noses. -
