B.C. Conservative Leader expects party fundraising to take off

John Rustad, the leader of British Columbia’s official opposition, says questions about his grip on the B.C. Conservative Party are behind him, and he issued a call to the province’s business community to start fundraising.

Mr. Rustad asserted control this week when he passed a leadership review with a 70-per-cent approval rating from party members, and promptly expelled a high-profile member of his caucus, Elenore Sturko, for working behind the scenes to unseat him.
