His comments to CBC confirm this is how it went down, the maelstrom he faced the last 48 hours made him realize he doesn't want any part of the toxicity. This is Poilievre's CPC, an angry, rabid, extremist base that went after him and his family for daring to think country first. #cdnpoli
CPC MP Jeneroux resigning is a result of the strong arm tactics to keep him in line, he can't move to the Libs and face the vitriol, but can't support Poilievre. This is a devastating development for the CPC, the fact he mentioned leaving his family alone, testament to the hateful CPC base. #cdnpoli

Anyone who's seen the insane vitriol directed at MP d'Entremont for crossing, knows that MP Jeneroux was under insane pressure and strong arming. His rationale about protecting his family and the "last 48 hours" show that he'd rather step away than face the rabid CPC mob. This is PP's CPC. #cdnpoli

"...BC Assessment had worked on the policy with an industry group that includes Enbridge, TC Energy, and Trans Mountain, representing about 90 per cent of the pipelines in B.C. by value."

So... are we letting them decide how much tax they should pay, or?

It goes beyond Rustad though - Milobar knew who he was getting into business with - none of what's happened to the BC Conservatives is all that surprising yet Milobar chose to stick with them.

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"
