OneBC, the party formed after a split with the Conservative Party of B.C., says leader Dallas Brodie has been “removed” by the party’s board of directors. 

The party’s only other elected member sitting in the B.C. Legislature, MLA Tara Armstrong, says she’s lost confidence in Brodie’s leadership, and the party’s website no longer includes any mention of Brodie.

Armstrong says she will “not be caucusing” with Brodie due to her loss of confidence, and posted on X that she’ll be writing to the Speaker of the B.C. legislature “to advise him of that.”

In another statement late Sunday afternoon, Armstrong said in a OneBC statement her loss of confidence “comes in light of Brodie’s increasing instability, paranoia, erratic behaviour, and abusive conduct.”

“Ms. Brodie has frequently yelled at employees, used abusive language, and severed communications with senior staff and caucus for extended periods of time,” reads the statement.

The statement further claims that Brodie had “unilaterally” terminated the party’s chief of staff and director of strategic operations.

OneBC received official party status in the province’s legislative assembly after splitting with the B.C. Conservatives, with Armstrong as the party’s house leader and Brodie as party leader. 

“Party of one does not qualify, does not meet that minimum standard. So logically, this party, is not only losing a leader potentially but losing its official party status,” said David Black, Royal Roads University associate professor of culture and communications.

The legislature’s website says parties need two elected members to achieve official status, and allows them “fully participate in parliamentary business.”

On X, formerly Twitter, the party’s account posted letters on Saturday evening alleging that “agents” at Brodie’s instruction had tried to get control of party assets without authorization and access the party’s security systems and databases.

OneBC made headlines surrounding residential school denialism, including when Brodie introduced a bill aimed at ending the National Truth and Reconciliation Day holiday in B.C.

Earlier this month, an unsanctioned OneBC event was held at the University of Victoria aimed at promoting a film casting doubts on suspected unmarked graves found at a former Kamloops Residential School. One person was arrested.

The documents on party letterhead say special resolutions passed by the OneBC board ordered Brodie’s removal as leader, an internal investigation and an amendment to the party’s constitution.

The documents include the signatures of Armstrong, OneBC executive director Paul Ratchford and Brodie’s former chief of staff Tim Thielmann, who Ratchford says is no longer working for the party. 

Brodie says in a post on X that she’s still holding an event in Langley, B.C., today, listing herself as the party’s interim leader, but it’s “not a party event,” and posted later on Saturday that the party is “experiencing a little turbulence.”  

Armstrong and Brodie, and other party insiders, did not return requests for comment Sunday.
