Curing Politics: B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad

October 16, 2025

John Rustad has been in politics for 20 years, most of that time with the B.C. Liberal Party. Then he stood up for the interests of his constituents in opposition to the official party stance on global warming.

The Liberal Party kicked him out.

A short time later and John was nominated as leader of the B.C. Conservative Party.

I heard John speak at the Reclaiming Canada Conference in Victoria a few weeks ago. He has some very clear ideas on what’s wrong with politics in our country and in British Columbia. More importantly after speaking with him for a brief time I realized I was speaking to a rare thing in politics.

A leader who believes his job is to work for the people who elected him.

    I just subscribed to Iron Will and this one interview was worth it. Thanks for asking the hard questions. I feel like John has just done CPR on my broken heavy heart.

      Agreed. I was very impressed with John. Perhaps there will be a conservative backlash in B.C. as there has been in Alberta and Saskatchewan. John as premier would be a return to sanity.
