John Rustad's Tough Circus Act Challenge
John Rustad, Leader of British Columbia's resurgent Conservative party, had another interesting week of incredibly high highs and potentially some potentially damaging lows. The 'crossing the floor' moment in the BC Legislature as Lorne Doerkson, sitting MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin, was a genuine coup adding great credibility to Rustad's Conservatives moving forward but the forced resignation of a Vancouver Island young candidate Damon Scrase because of media pressure citing Scase's social media posts was another blow to the Conservative's fortunes in October.
The ability to walk the tightrope of ensuring freedom of speech for candidates balanced against the potential negative responses from media and political opponents is always a challenge but even more so when Rustad is trying to secure the vote of 'freedom fighters' as well as traditionalists within his own party.
Thus far, my opinion is that Rustad has done a credible job but with many more challenges and crises to come.
