B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon says the provincial Conservatives have rejected a deal to avoid vote-splitting in the fall provincial election.

He says talks between the two right-of-centre parties concluded with B.C. Conservatives Leader John Rustad rejecting a proposed “non-competition” agreement.

Falcon says Rustad has “placed his own ambition” above B.C.’s interests and is risking the re-election of the governing NDP.

More to come.
