A third member of the BC Conservative Party called it quits on Tuesday.
Rosalyn Bird announced that she is walking away from the Conservatives, joining MLAs Ian Paton and Peter Milobar as recent defectors.
Bird said in a statement that it was a difficult decision and that one of her reasons for leaving was due to political infighting.
She is the third MLA to leave the BC Conservatives in less than two weeks.

Two hours later, Bird announced her decision to sit as an independent.
“There have been no platform changes so far,” Findlay said at the press conference.
“There have been no policy changes. So while some may have made decisions on their own or wanting to be the leader, I do remind people this party is robust.”
I guess there cocs weren’t big enough
Yet another rat jumping from MAGA NAZl Karen-Lynne Findlay’s sinking ship. Eby doesn’t even have to try anymore. He’s just sitting back and watching the circus 🎪🎪🤡🤡🤣🤣

How many more Undependents need to bolt the crazed confines of Fiddley’s MAGA freak show before they become the Opposition? David Eby must not believe his luck.

The NDP is clearly to blame, persistently looking reasonable in contrast to a pack of loonies. Unfair!
..pretty clear BC and the country voted clearly against the maga/zealot platform in the last Fed election…Finlay just hasn’t got the message or is beholden to them or both…
