Dallas Brodie, the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Vancouver-Quilchena, addressed the media following the approval of a recall petition aimed at her removal from office. Brodie, who was elected as a B.C. Conservative in October 2024, was expelled from the party after making controversial comments regarding residential school survivors. In an interview with CTV News, she expressed her defiance, stating, 'I am unapologetic' about her remarks, which she believes have been misinterpreted. The recall petition, initiated by local resident Dorothy Cumming, requires 15,232 signatures to be collected by July 20 to trigger a byelection, a feat that has not been achieved in any of the previous 30 recall attempts since 1995. Brodie emphasized that while she acknowledges the upset her comments have caused, she believes many constituents still support her. The involvement of Imagine Surrey in the recall process has raised questions, particularly as Cumming provided a mailing address linked to the party, although they have denied any financial or operational support for the recall effort. Brodie remains focused on her role as the interim leader of OneBC, a party she co-founded after her departure from the Conservative party.
