CP NewsAlert: McInnes and Wilson are latest to quit B.C. Conservative caucus

Sep 2, 2026 | 11:03 AM

VICTORIA — Two more legislators have quit the Opposition B.C. Conservative caucus, with Scott McInnes and Donegal Wilson both citing Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s reported connections to Alberta separatists.

McInnes becomes the ninth MLA to defect in less than three weeks, announcing his departure a little over two hours after Wilson.

More coming.
