Brent Chapman

So it's great for the Conservatives that 1BC is not going to be on the debate.

And, um, you know, and a sidebar surprise was Brent Chapman not making it on the ballot in Surrey South.

Um, so that's, uh, something we, I don't think he was going to win, but

make it on the ballot or decide not to run after all.

in the last few years who aren't running.

So Brent Chapman is not nominated to run anywhere.

So the husband of Carolyn Findlay, we were told yesterday we might get a statement.

Amelia Boltby, who quit the Conservative set as an independent, then joined the NDP.

Well, it's interesting.

Uh, Brent Chapman, the former Surrey South Conservative MLA who's now running for OneBC in Surrey White Rock, uh, denied his nomination.

Um, his con- uh, offensive comments about Muslims, and they're very offensive, surfaced before the last election.

He got a fair amount of airtime.

We went looking for Mr. Chapman.

My, my Global reporter called Grace Keey famously went into his campaign office Uh, and we actually discovered him hiding in a closet, um, 'cause he refused to come out and talk.

Well, what effect did that have on Brent Chapman? He won with fifty-eight percent of the vote.

So I mean, these things, if, if they're in very conservative ridings, they're not gonna play well.

Well, I think that one of the things they've done that's very smart in terms of positioning of this is who they've thrown out.

Some of the biggest problem people, Brent Chapman, Carolyn Finley's loser husband, whose views included debating whether or not Sandy Hook's shooting was real.

There's a lot of kooky shit that cost, I think, the Conservative Party in the last election campaign.

The election was dealing with those views.

I guess, what was the final straw that forced her out?

I think there was a very nasty exchange between her and some of the leaders of her own party over her husband, because in her resignation letter on Sunday, she said she really didn't appreciate the attacks on her family.

So her husband's an MLA as well, Brent Chapman.

And I guess the last straw was there was an incredible amount of taping of conversations and relaying of emails going on out here.

So we don't know what they actually hit her with.

But in any event, she's gone.

She was in the middle of running for a seat in the legislature in a by-election, right? And so that by-election was still active the day she resigned, but the government called an election two days later, so that voided the by-election.

And Findlay's husband, Brent Chapman, switched parties.

Mm-hmm.

We've got Megan Knight, mayor of White Rock, who's, um, uh, South Surrey against Brent Chapman.

We've got, um, Kevin Acton, the mayor of Lumby, who ran as an independent last time when he got bypassed by the Conservatives.

He had been the BC United candidate.

But Sterko is moving from...

She was the MLA in her first term from Surrey South.

She then ran in Cloverdale last election because she hadn't crossed the floor yet, and before she'd crossed the floor, Brent Chapman got slammed into Surrey South.

Now she's going back to Surrey South to, to run against Brent Chapman and Megan Knight.
