Controversial ex-BC Conservatives candidate Rachael Weber has announced that she will be running in the upcoming election as an Independent.She has become the party's second former nominee to make the move, following Surrey-Panorama's Dupinder Saran."The time to stand up for what's right, is right now!"

No one wants to vote NDP and no one wants to vote for a coalition party filled with Liberals under the Conservative Banner."She claimed that by working with BC United-Liberals, the Conservatives "have all let us down.""Someone needs to hold the party who forms government accountable," Weber continued. "We still have a chance to make this riding better then it ever has been!"Weber was ousted after being highlighted as an example of what many deemed to be inadequate vetting processes in the Conservative Party. She was found to have posted during the COVID-19 pandemic about 5G, claiming it was an instrument of "genocide," and also equated cashless payments and "microchips" with "the anti-christ," warning it could bring about "the rapture. Her comments led opponents to suggest the Conservatives were becoming the "conspiracy party."During a joint press conference with John Rustad, BC United-Liberals leader Kevin Falcon said one of the conditions for their cooperation was a better vetting process to ensure only the best candidates were put forth.
