Candidate, Gwen O'Mahony
Conservative Party, Nanaimo-Lantzville, BC
Bio
CLC rating: Unknown
Rating Comments: Prior to the 2017 provincial election, Gwen O'Mahony was a BC MLA with the radical pro-abortion, anti-family NDP. However, she changed her party affiliation to the BC Conservative Party and become a candidate in the 2024 election, explaining this change in her bio on the BC Conservative Party website:
"Two significant events and the NDP’s Harm Reduction Policy change had a profound impact on Gwen’s decision to join the Conservative Party of BC. In the summer of 2023, she met with members of CAWsBar in Toronto at the 'Keep Prisons Single Sex' protest. She was shocked to learn that biological males could be transferred to women’s prisons by simply self IDing as women. In the fall of 2023, Gwen agreed to moderate a panel discussion on Women’s Spaces, SOGI, Women’ Sports and Gender Ideology. The panelists’ testimonies pertaining to their experience with 'cancel culture' were extremely concerning to Gwen and she lobbied her party (i.e. the NDP) to look into these issues. Her concerns were met with indifference. After the NDP announced the decriminalization of possession of hard drugs and began prescribing narcotic pills to addicts, Gwen withdrew her NDP membership and joined the Conservative Party of BC. Gwen believes that John Rustad is the only leader brave enough to tackle these issues. She admires his common- sense approach and his dedication to a fair, transparent, democratic process. She’s excited to be part of the Conservative team and represent Nanaimo-Lantzville."
