Peter Milobar joins Jim Csek and Iain Burns for a direct conversation following his decision to leave the BC Conservatives and sit as an Independent MLA.

Milobar explains why he says there was no single breaking point, but rather a growing disconnect with the party’s tone, messaging and direction. He discusses the challenge of uniting conservatives in British Columbia, whether more MLAs could follow, and what he sees as necessary to defeat the NDP.

The conversation also turns to a major Interior issue: wildfire mitigation. Milobar argues B.C. needs to place far greater emphasis on forest health, thinning and community protection—not simply reacting after fires begin. He talks about the effects of smoke and wildfires on tourism, local businesses and communities across the Okanagan, Kamloops and the Interior.

In this interview:

• Why Peter Milobar left the BC Conservatives• Party unity, ideology and the future of the centre-right in B.C.• Whether a new political vehicle could emerge• Wildfire mitigation versus suppression• Forest health, tourism and the economic impact of smoke• Emergency preparedness and government accountability• Why elected officials should say yes to media interviews
