In the last Provincial election, we, the constituents of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, elected the Conservative representative as our MLA. That MLA, Tara Armstrong, has now resigned from the Conservative Party and indicated that she intends to sit as an Independent - a decision we were not part of and do not agree with.

Elected representatives are meant to reflect the collective choices and beliefs of their constituents. The abrupt departure of our MLA from the Conservative Party skews this representation and shifts the balance of power that was decided by us. It's essential to remember that such decisions impact us and the Party we chose directly. The policies we backed and the party we align ourselves with are now undermined due to this shift by Ms. Armstrong.

We believe that when the representative that we duly elected changes their political alliance, it's only fair that we, as constituents of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, get to voice our opinions once more.

In the name of democracy, we demand that Tara Armstrong immediately resign and that a by-election be held so that we, the electorate, can decide who truly represents our voices, our rights, and our community. It must be us, the voters, who get to make this important decision and not our MLA.

Please sign this petition to urge the proper authorities for a by-election in the constituency of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream.
