Elections BC says a website set up in 2024 to demand the firing of then B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad wasn’t the work of disgruntled members, as it claimed, but was instead created on the orders of the rival BC United Party.

The election body says it has penalized BC United $4,500 for false advertising via the firejohnrustad.ca website in the pre-campaign period before the 2024 provincial election.
