🇨🇦 Kevin Falcon's Sister-in-Law Promises to Unite B.C. Right — After Helping Blow It Up Last Time

Caroline Elliott, the PhD policy wonk who helped orchestrate B.C. United's 2024 collapse into the Conservatives, now wants to lead the party she helped create through merger chaos. Her pitch: don't look in the rear-view mirror. Convenient advice from someone whose brother-in-law Kevin Falcon torched his own party eight months ago. She's leading a leadership race for a party sitting at 46 percent in polls — a position built by John Rustad, the man caucus rebels just knifed. Now she's imported Ontario operatives to lecture British Columbians about electability.

Elliott has never won a single vote but insists fresh inexperience beats Rustad's near-victory that took the Conservatives from zero to 44 seats. The same establishment that gutted the provincial right twice in three years now promises unity. David Eby's NDP must be thrilled watching Conservatives eat their own frontrunner to install Falcon family management.
