A former member of the British Columbia legislature has launched a new political party called CentreBC, aiming to push back against what she describes as polarization in provincial politics.Karin Kirkpatrick, who represented West Vancouver-Capilano between 2020 and 2024, says she has heard from “countless” B.C. residents about “the lack of a pragmatic, centrist choice for voters” in the province.She says there is a clear demand for a party “focused on evidence-based policy, fiscal responsibility and a balanced approach to governing.”
