Ep 596 - Conservative Party Leadership Candidate

Peter Milobar

By Stuart McNish

He is one of four sitting MLAs running for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC. Peter Milobar was first elected to the legislature in 2017 as a Liberal in the Kamloops - North Thomson riding and is the current Finance Critic for the Conservatives. Prior to running provincially, Milobar was a councillor for two terms in Kamloops before winning and sitting as Mayor for nine years from 2008 to 2017.

In an interview with Rob Shaw, Milobar said, “I have a demonstrated skill set to deal with diverse views around a large board of elected officials. And then I know how to interstitch all of that with a government bureaucracy. So I think that very much sets me up well for the challenges facing British Columbia.”

As he enters the race, 10 people have indicated they want the job. Milobar says, “I bring a level of seriousness to the big issues facing BC. The biggest being the economy and its direct impact on affordability, crime, education and real estate.” As well, Milobar says, “I am uniquely qualified to address reconciliation in BC, and the manner in which Premier Eby and his party are addressing it, is counterproductive.”

I invited Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate Peter Milobar to join me for a Conversation That Matters about his vision for the party and the province.
