Push to recall Okanagan MLA Tara Armstrong on hold as campaign gathers resources
Organizers say they need more money and about 200 canvassers before filing paperwork for a 60-day petition drive seeking 20,000 signatures.
- The campaign to recall Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream MLA Tara Armstrong is officially postponed as organizers seek additional funds and volunteers. Sponsor John Plant confirmed on Tuesday that the petition launch is not imminent.
- Success requires gathering signatures from at least 40 per cent of eligible voters, totaling just over 18,000 signatures within a 60-day window. Organizers lack resources to realistically meet this high threshold.
- Doubling their current team of about 100, the group seeks 200-plus canvassers to reach voters across the geographically spread-out riding. Each bulk mailing of advertisements costs about $12,000.
- On Friday, protesters gathered in Coldstream to signal dissatisfaction, with Christine McNair citing the group's belief that Armstrong displays 'forms of bigotry.' McNair noted Armstrong was elected as a Conservative member, not to serve as an Independent.
- Plant plans to submit the formal application once resources are secured, triggering the Elections BC process and the 60-day signature clock. The group has identified about 1,000 interested individuals to date, most living in the riding.
