B.C. Conservative leader Findlay vows to stay amid internal turmoil

British Columbia Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay vowed to remain in her position on Thursday, declaring she is "not going anywhere" amid internal party turmoil and speculation of a snap provincial election. Her pledge came after a contentious caucus meeting where two of her MLAs asked her to resign. The internal conflict has been fueled by allegations that a private investigator was hired to look into current and former legislative members. Findlay acknowledged the party is investigating the claims but stated she had no prior knowledge of the activity. "I can't really respond. They are just allegations. The party is looking into it," she said. The turmoil has seen nine MLAs quit the caucus since Findlay took over in May, with defectors citing concerns about her leadership and the party's direction. In a public critique, Skeena MLA Claire Rattée described the team as "deeply divided" and accused Findlay of failing to unite the Opposition. Findlay addressed the situation during a speech to municipal leaders at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in Vancouver.
