BC’s used to the Eby Toddler now: His tantrums just don’t work anymore

Kerry-Lynne Findlay won the BC Conservative Party leadership on May 30 on the fourth ballot with 51% of the vote. She is a lawyer and former Minister of National Revenue, Associate Minister of National Defence, and Chief Opposition Whip. David Eby called her MAGA North within hours of her win. She didn't skip a beat. Jim and Iain on why this one is going to be different.

Topics covered:
► Kerry-Lynne Findlay winning the BC Conservative leadership race on May 30, 2026 on the fourth ballot with 51% of the vote, defeating Capilano University Chancellor Yuri Fulmer, Kamloops Centre MLA Peter Milobar, and former BC Liberal minister Iain Black

► Findlay's biography: a lawyer and former federal Conservative MP who served three terms in Parliament from 2011 to 2025 with a four-year break from 2015 to 2019, serving as Minister of National Revenue under Stephen Harper from 2013 to 2015, Associate Minister of National Defence, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice, and Chief Opposition Whip under Pierre Poilievre

► Findlay not currently holding a seat in the BC legislature, needing to win a byelection to sit as an MLA, with her husband Brent Chapman already serving as BC Conservative MLA for Surrey South as a potential option

► David Eby's response within hours of Findlay's victory: calling her MAGA North and MAGA regional manager, which Jim translates as calling a democratically elected opposition leader a foreign agent aligned with hostile foreign interests, connecting it to the broader pattern of both the provincial and federal Liberal establishment equating opposition with foreign allegiance

► Findlay taking Eby's attacks in stride, not skipping a beat, with Jim and Iain noting she appeared almost bored, which they read as someone who has faced bigger political battles than this and knows exactly what the tactic is and why it is used

► The byelection precedent: Christy Clark not winning a seat in the 2011 election and subsequently running in a byelection in Westside-Kelowna after Ben Stewart stepped down, with the same process likely to unfold for Findlay

► Macklin McCall's support for Findlay and Jim and Iain's outreach to her team

► Carney's trade deal press releases announcing MOUs with Europe and Asia worth hundreds of billions of dollars, with Jim's sarcastic read on what those press releases mean relative to TransAlta buying US $725 million in gas plants in Colorado, a trillion dollars of capital flight south, and a confirmed recession

Is Kerry-Lynne Findlay the opponent David Eby has been dreading?
