Now that the Official Opposition B.C. United has thrown its support behind John Rustad and the Conservatives, he and his campaign team have just days to decide the roster of 93 candidates who will run under the Conservative Party banner.
On Wednesday, B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon made the bombshell announcement that he was suspending the party's election campaign and encouraging his candidates and members to support the B.C. Conservatives.
B.C. Conservative campaign director Angelo Isidorou says they're attempting to finalize the full slate of the party's candidates by Labour Day, with a tentative announcement early next week.
Some of the B.C. Conservatives' 83 candidates could be dropped in favour of more established B.C. United MLAs, but most of the candidates on the chopping block are from the B.C. United team, which has 57 confirmed.
"Falcon is going to have to make a lot of difficult phone calls," Isidorou says, whereas he expects to be making four or five to B.C. Conservative candidates.

Bernier says he's considering running as an independent in Peace River South, a riding he's held since 2013.
He says he's not comfortable with the "divisive, extreme" policies touted by Rustad.
Rustad has said climate change is not an emergency and has opposed sexual orientation and gender identity policies in B.C. schools. Another B.C. United candidate Meagan Brame,
