Peter Milobar walked out of the B.C. Conservative caucus Friday morning. Not a backbencher with a grudge. The finance critic. Three-term Kamloops mayor, MLA since 2017, and the last big name of the moderate wing.

His reason: his values no longer align with the direction of the party under Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

He's the seventh MLA to leave or be pushed out since the 2024 election.

That's this week's Political Happy Hour.

The math in Victoria today: 48 New Democrats, 37 Conservatives, two Greens, six Independents.

Pull up a chair. Fire up the expense account.
