B.C. opposition finance critic Peter Milobar has announced he is sitting as an Independent, saying his values don’t align with the B.C. Conservatives under the leadership of Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

Milobar said on social media on Friday that Findlay had earned the right to lead the party as she saw fit but the disconnect between his views and the Conservatives’ “new direction” had become clear over the last few months.
