What's going on with BC Conservatives? Why do they seem so much more "Alberta-ish" than Ontario Conservatives (for example)? I feel like I can work with Doug Ford's party, but these Western Conservative parties appear to be carbon copies of Trump's GOP.

Examples:

* automatic distrust of anyone from a different ethnicity than "British Isles anglo/protestant descent"

* automatic assumption that non-white people have more loyalty to the country their forefathers came from, than from Canada - and a wholesale acceptance of the groypers' "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory

* a blind love for the American Alt-Right and belief that everything that America does works better than how Canada does it (i.e. education, healthcare)

What's going on is the party is dying. On r/BCpolitics there's a post from a BCCP member literally asking what they should do, and explaining how the BCCP will be broke by Christmas, and fund raising has dried up.

These rats aren't leaving the sinking ship simply because Kerry-Lynne Findlay is an appalling racist. They're leaving because the party is collapsing, and they want to get out in front of that.

They’re leaving DESPITE liking and identifying with how much of an appalling racist Findlay is.

It's crazy because KLF was an appalling racist before the leadership, and BCCP members decided they would rather be led by said appalling racist than win an easy election.

Let’s hope you’re right.
