Vancouver Rundown Wednesday September 2, 2026

The RCMP are not commenting on reports the force is now investigating allegations of MLAs being offered incentives to quit so unelected BC Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay can seek a seat in the Legislature. Delta-South MLA Ian Paton says RCMP have asked to interview him Wednesday after he claimed Findlay offered him a job if he stepped-down. Paton says he rejected that offer even though he wasn’t aware the deal could be a criminal offence. Similar offers have reportedly been made to two other MLAs. Findlay is now running in the Abbotsford-Mission byelection after the area’s Conservative MLA agreed to step aside.
