- Title: Exclusive: Dallas Brodie on Findlay Resignation and State of Play in BC Politics
- Publisher: The New Westminster Times. Interviewer: David Brett. Guest: Dallas Brodie.
- Upload date: September 22, 2026. Running time: 2,172 seconds / 36:12, from yt-dlp metadata. Last caption ends earlier; caption endpoint is not the video duration.
- Full automatic-caption transcript and original metadata retained privately. Captions mangle names; public copy uses source-checked spellings. Public package contains sanitized metadata, selected timestamp guide and evidence ledger, not the full transcript or signed media URLs.

## What was published
Brodie’s stated willingness to cooperate, her qualified account of talks, and current leadership/election context. No signed pact is established by this interview. A player and direct watch link preserve the original publisher’s video. No full-video rehost.

## Independent checks
- https://nationalnewswatch.com/2026/09/22/new-b-c-conservative-leader-doerkson-to-appear-with-caucus-amid-election-speculation — The Canadian Press, September 22: Doerkson rebuilding caucus after Findlay resignation. Retrieved directly, HTTP 200.
- https://elections.bc.ca/news/abbotsford-mission-by-election-candidates-confirmed/ — candidate notice includes Findlay; September 26 final voting day. Retrieved directly, HTTP 200.
- https://elections.bc.ca/ — direct homepage capture still lists Abbotsford-Mission September 26 and general local elections October 17. No new general-election date was established in these checks. This is a time-bounded observation, not a forecast.

## Limits and exclusions
The wider interview contains personal allegations, motive claims, legal/land assertions, university-naming claims, school-policy claims and a future-election cost estimate. These were not independently established in this focused update and are not adopted as facts. Attribution alone would not resolve their evidence gaps. This is not comprehensive fact-checking of the entire programme.

A generic web extraction of the Elections BC homepage incorrectly returned unrelated B.C. government PST content; it was rejected and replaced with a direct HTML capture of the actual Elections BC page. Direct access to the Conservative leader profile returned HTTP 403 in this pass, so the new update relies on named Canadian Press reporting rather than claiming fresh direct verification from that profile. No exact recording time has been independently established; the upload date is used.
