Dallas Brodie is the MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena and the Interim Leader of OneBC. She is a former defence lawyer and television broadcaster. Since her election in 2024, she has quickly become one of Canada’s leading voices on the “reconciliation industry”. Dallas has the courage, honesty, and the audacity of a true leader. She also has a clear vision for the structural changes needed to bring back the opportunity for every British Columbian to prosper.
