B.C. Conservative leader vows to stay as allegations emerge party funds were used to spy on critics

British Columbia's Conservative leader, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, has vowed to remain in leadership despite new allegations that party funds were used to hire a private investigator to monitor potential critics. The controversy comes as the party faces internal instability, including multiple MLA resignations and leaked recordings suggesting misconduct. Findlay is preparing for a possible snap election if Premier David Eby decides to call one, while also running in a by-election. The allegations involve former executive director Elaine Allan, who was recently dismissed, and a private investigator hired to track down the owner of the 'Findlay Files' account on X. Several party members, including MLA Claire Rattée, expressed concern over the allegations, though Findlay denies knowledge of the surveillance and says her party is investigating. The Globe and Mail reports the story without naming the individuals involved in the investigation due to their request for anonymity.
