The controversial leader of the OneBC party will be in Langley on Friday, Feb. 20, speaking with a far-right activist at a local church.
Dallas Brodie of OneBC is at the event organized by the Action4Canada organization, with its leader Tanya Gaw and host Danielle Pistilli.
The event, dubbed “The Truth Matters,” is to take place at the Riverside Calvary Chapel in Walnut Grove at 7 p.m.
Brodie is a former B.C. Conservative MLA who was ejected from the party by then-leader John Rustad in March 2025, after she used a mocking voice to denigrate Indigenous residential school survivors during a podcast interview.
She has also denied that there were any children buried at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
As a OneBC MLA, she has used her seat in the B.C. Legislature to attempt to ban land acknowledgements and end National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
In December, Brodie’s two-member OneBC party went through a struggle for internal control, which ended with Brodie as the leader, and with the only other MLA – Tara Armstrong – leaving the party.
In January, several hundred protesters arrived at an appearance by Brodie on the University of B.C. campus.
The protesters chanted and blew horns and whistles. Brodie later said she was physically assaulted by two protesters, though apparently not injured. The smaller OneBC group took shelter in the campus aquatic centre.
Campus security and the RCMP asked the OneBC members to leave as the situation escalated, but they did not follow instructions, according to a statement later released by UBC.
Then police “facilitated their departure from campus,” as RCMP escorted them to a bus. Brodie said she was never approached and told to leave.
More recently, Brodie was met by about 300 peaceful protesters when she spoke in Creston, B.C. The protesters included members of the Yaqan Nukiy Lower Kootenay Band and other local community members.
