FORSETH: Rustad came to town, and he had a lot to say – Western Standard

Sep 10, 2024

BC Conservative leader John Rustad came to town.

Rustad took the stage to chat with his audience without hype or manufactured excitement. He was well received, and there were no protesters or disruptions. His approach of common-sense, non-ideological themes is working. He seemed like the dad or uncle you have known all your life and trusted.

The audience appeared exhausted from the NDPers’ name-calling and labelling. In contrast, Rustad appeared as the non-politician political leader who could likely be the next BC Premier.

The NDP still tries to invent the smear that Rustad is a climate change denier, based on a past comment reported in the media two years ago. Rustad challenges the naysayers by suggesting they look at the actual primary source video, which does not verify the media myth.
