[2] He was the member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the district of Vancouver-Quilchena, from April 2022, when he won the seat in a by-election until the 2024 provincial election, for which he suspended his party's campaign and withdrew his candidacy for re-election.

[10] In that role he changed TransLink's governance structure to introduce a government-appointed board of professionals (engineers, accountants, etc.)

[11] He also introduced the Gateway Program, a $3 billion regional transportation strategy for Metro Vancouver that launched the construction of the new Port Mann Bridge.

[13] On December 11, the Vancouver Sun reported that Falcon's social media traffic was the highest of declared candidates.

[14] Falcon's leadership campaign focused on “returning BC to a fiscally responsible path” in the aftermath of the global economic crisis.

[15] On February 26, 2011, Falcon narrowly lost his bid to become the Liberal leader, and the province's Premier, to Christy Clark by a margin of 52% - 48% in the third round of voting by party members.

[16] After leaving the legislature, Falcon moved to North Vancouver and joined Vancouver-based Anthem Capital as their Executive Vice President.

[19] Falcon worked with friend and real estate developer Ryan Beedie to raise $130,000 for Bernier in a single night - a record for the campaign at the time.

[28] In August 2022, Liberal MLA John Rustad drew criticism for suggesting that CO2 emissions were not contributing to climate change.

On August 28, 2024, Falcon announced that BC United was suspending its campaign and withdrawing its candidates from the 2024 British Columbia general election in order to endorse the Conservatives.

In February 2025, former BC United MLA Karin Kirkpatrick called for him to resign saying that his continued presence was preventing the party from rebuilding and raising funds to pay its debts.
