Hopefully the party is in shambles for another decade or so.

I still can't believe how close we came to this Trump wannabe running the province.

Right. Makes me nervous just thinking about it

The real debate is whether the new leader will be more or less crazy than Rustad. And whether that pulls the party apart.

Always the worry. I'm curious as to why he's actually out - not sociopathic enough?

He wasn't competent enough to pull off the whacky things they wanted to do.

I doubt they'll run someone more to the center. They'll be even further to the right is my guess, but they'll try to find someone who's not a dumbass at the same time.

I am sadly reminded of Kenny's remarks right before he was deposed and the true crazies took hold of the UCP in Alberta. I sure hope the BC conservatives don't have another Danielle in their wings, waiting to usurp leadership and send the whole province into a descent to madness.

Rustad lost the lighting in the bottle.
