A first reading is the first vote on whether a bill may be introduced. A casting vote is the Speaker's vote when the count is tied, and it follows the rules of the House. The two lawsuits and the removal from OneBC's leadership are disputes, and no court or regulator has decided them.","No campaign website of her own was found. The OneBC candidate page is her campaign page, and it holds a short biography and no measures of her own. The OneBC menu lists Latest News, Photo Gallery and Accomplishments, and those pages were not opened. The OneBC events page listed a rally on September 30, 2026, a past date, so no campaign event is listed. Her Facebook and Instagram pages returned no readable posts. Most posts on her X profile show a month and day with no year, so only the pinned post with a full date is used. The web search tool had reached its usage limit, so the name search was limited. voche.me read Google News result lists for her name and opened the articles it cites. Two CTV News articles (the October 2 election deal talk and the December 22 reinstatement) loaded only a headline, so nothing from them is used, and a third CTV News article of September 29 was not opened. The 2025 Hansard indexes were not opened, so her 2025 bill on land acknowledgments is known from CBC only, and her 2025 votes and speeches are not covered. The legislature's member page loads through a script, and the member record was read from the data service behind it, which lists no roles for her in the 43rd Parliament. A search of BC Gov News for the phrase Dallas Brodie returned no results, so no ministry release quoting her was found. CBC reports she ran as a Conservative in 2022 and lost to Kevin Falcon. The 2022 result was not opened. The CBC reports date the formation of OneBC as June 2025 in most places and July in the report of October 23, 2025. The court files for both lawsuits were not opened, and no reply from her to the first one was found. The Speaker's rulings on her questions of privilege of March 12 and April 27, 2026 were not found.

The legislature's member record, as saved for this page, lists her under the party name Independent for the 43rd Parliament, while its Votes and Proceedings of 18 February 2025 list her as Conservative Party. The Canadian Press reported, in an article published by CTV News, that the BC Conservative leader removed her from the party's caucus, the group of its members in the legislature, on 7 March 2025. Elections BC issued a recall petition against her on 21 May 2026. It needed 15,232 signatures by 20 July 2026, and Elections BC's list of recall petitions shows it failed for insufficient signatures. The legislature lists Falcon's party as BC United for the 42nd Parliament, and Elections BC prints BC Liberal Party. This profile prints each record and chooses neither.","The commission's 2023 final report changed the district. It moved Dunbar south of 16th Avenue from Vancouver-Point Grey into Vancouver-Quilchena and moved most of Shaughnessy into it, because it expected Vancouver-Quilchena to grow more slowly than other west side districts. It ran the line with Vancouver-Langara along 57th Avenue and Angus Drive, so that the historic centre of Marpole lies wholly in Vancouver-Langara.
