Conservative leader John Rustad scheduled an announcement about the future of B.C. Ferries .

Rustad promised an overhaul for the troubled service, a house cleaning at fleet headquarters, and a monthly pass for frequent travellers.

But when he took questions from reporters Thursday , no one asked about his plan for the ferry system.

Most of the questions were about messes of the Conservatives own making.

Rustad was presiding over “a clown car of candidates that aren’t ready to govern,” said Falcon .

Falcon : Come the election, the clowns would be exposed.

The revelations would generate distractions that would dominate the news and let the NDP off the hook.

But the relentlessness has taken its toll on the Conservative campaign and Rustad 's credibility.
