Yuri Fulmer, entrepreneur and BC Conservative leadership candidate, joins The Opposition with Dan Knight for a long-form, unscripted conversation about the direction of the party and the province.

In this interview, Fulmer leans into his role as “the disrupter,” arguing that British Columbia’s systems are fundamentally broken and require more than incremental change. He outlines his business-first approach to politics, emphasizing execution, accountability, and a willingness to challenge both government and internal party dynamics.

The conversation centres on his controversial “Unite the Right” agreement with Dallas Brodie and One BC — a deal that would see One BC stand down in 88 ridings, while a Fulmer-led Conservative Party would step aside in five, backed by a confidence-and-supply agreement. Fulmer argues the move is rooted in math, not ideology, warning that vote-splitting on the right will cost Conservatives the next election if left unaddressed.

We also cover internal party divisions, candidate accountability, shifting political positions, and why Fulmer believes a leadership race should be about contrast — not consensus. He challenges rivals on their records, questions where they stood when the party was struggling, and argues that members deserve clear distinctions before they vote.

Beyond strategy, the interview explores affordability, housing costs driven by government fees and delays, immigration pressures, and the broader economic frustration facing British Columbians.

This is part of The BC Conservative Leadership Interview Series — long-form conversations with the candidates asking to lead the party and the province.

No filters. No talking points. Just the candidate, the record, and the question that matters: who can actually win and govern?

Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.

There’s a lot of noise in this leadership race. A lot of slogans. A lot of candidates trying to sound the same.

This isn’t that.

I sat down with Iain Black for a full, long-form conversation — no scripts, no handlers, no five-minute clips. Just real answers from someone who’s actually been inside government and outside of it.

We get into his record as a cabinet minister, what he thinks went wrong with the old coalition, and why he believes experience — not theory — is what this province needs right now. We talk affordability, housing, permitting delays that stretch into years, crime, immigration, DRIPA, and the growing sense that the system just isn’t working for people anymore.

He doesn’t dodge the hard questions. On SOGI, on shifting positions in this race, on party division — it’s all on the table.

And whether you agree with him or not, you’ll understand exactly what he stands for by the end of it.

That’s the point of this series.

We’re holding the people who want to run this province to account — and letting you decide who’s actually ready.

Watch it. Share it. Make up your own mind.

Warren Hamm, Rossland contractor, helicopter maintenance engineer, and BC Conservative leadership candidate, joins The Opposition with Dan Knight for a long-form conversation about the future of British Columbia.

Hamm lays out his “Builders, Not Bureaucrats” message and explains why he believes the province is being strangled by red tape, regulatory overreach, and a political class disconnected from working people. With more than 30 years in aviation, construction, and the resource sector, he argues that BC needs practical leadership rooted in real-world experience — not career politicians.

In this interview, Hamm discusses cutting regulatory barriers to housing and development, reviving forestry and mining, restoring affordability, strengthening regional economies, and confronting what he calls government waste and dysfunction. He also addresses his high-profile permitting dispute with the City of Rossland, the BC Supreme Court ruling that followed, and why he chose to sue individual councillors over what he says was bad-faith decision-making.

The conversation also covers SOGI, parental rights, party unity, and how he plans to defeat David Eby in the next provincial election.

Today on The Opposition, We sit down with former MP Rick Perkins to walk through a story that should make every Canadian furious. Ottawa burned through $130 million on a “women’s entrepreneurship” fund that produced exactly zero startups and zero net jobs, despite ministers bragging it was a triumph. That is not a program. That is theater paid for with your money.

From there, wee trace the pattern we’ve seen before: Sustainable Development Technology Canada the “green innovation” fund that, once audited, showed 186 conflicted transactions funnelling roughly $400 million to companies tied to board insiders. Parliament ordered unredacted documents to the RCMP. The government sent 29,000 pages most of them blacked out. Then the Speaker ruled the government had breached a House order, and the resulting privilege fight consumed the Commons until Trudeau prorogued Parliament. That is not accountability. That is impunity.

Perkins explains how this culture of secrecy works in practice: hide behind “cabinet confidence,” redact everything, and dare the police to investigate without evidence. Meanwhile, insiders keep the cash. He argues Parliament the owner of these programs has both the right and the duty to hand unredacted files to law enforcement so Canadians can finally get the truth.

And when the government says the fix is “a new one-stop Major Projects Office,” Perkins laughs. The same bureaucracy that turned the Trans Mountain expansion from $7 billion to $34 billion now promises speed. Why did costs explode? He describes stops for anthill relocations, six-week shutdowns over a single swallow, and inspectors sorting garbage bags on site all under Bill C-69’s regime. This is not efficiency. It is performance art.

Knight frames it simply at the top: Canadians work until mid-week just to pay the state, then watch the state light their money on fire and call the ashes “success.” Perkins supplies the receipts. Together they map the through-line: glossy announcements, conflicted boards, missing metrics, shredded transparency and a Parliament brought to a standstill rather than admit what happened.

If you want to understand why trust is collapsing and how to fix it this conversation will make you angry, and then it will make you clear. Listen now
