Political party OneBC has reported that its former Conservative member Brent Chapman and his wife Kerry-Lynne Findlay, a former Conservative leader who resigned recently, have faced severe threats and abuse from insiders. This comes after Chapman announced he would run as a OneBC candidate but was later removed from the list of candidates by mutual agreement between him and the party due to recent internal strains and divisions within conservative politics in British Columbia.

Story summary
OneBC, a political party in British Columbia, has stated that Brent Chapman and his wife Kerry-Lynne Findlay, both former Conservatives, have faced a "torrent of threats and abuse." Chapman had initially announced plans to run as a candidate for OneBC in the October 24 election but was not listed on Elections BC's final candidates list. The party said they mutually decided that Chapman would not run in Surrey South after joining them just last month. Findlay resigned from her role as Conservative leader amid internal conflicts within the party, less than four months after winning the leadership position. OneBC claims this situation is a result of pressures faced over the past few months and notes that strong conservative values are no longer acceptable to the appointed leaders of the Conservative Party of British Columbia.
