B.C. Conservatives cannot be ‘kooky’ if they want to be elected, says former premier Christy Clark

Former British Columbia premier Christy Clark says “nobody wants to elect a government that is kooky” as the B.C. Conservatives embark on a leadership contest, urging them to focus on economic issues.

Clark posted on social media on Tuesday that she would “always be grateful for the chance to serve,” in a message marking the 15th anniversary of her running for the leadership of the right-of-centre B.C. Liberals, but she says she has no interest in leading the Conservatives.
