The Story
B.C. voters are scheduled to go to the polls on Oct. 24 to choose a new provincial government, with the campaign continuing ahead of that date.
On the campaign trail, the British Columbia NDP has highlighted health care, and it has also promised tuition discounts for rural work.
The Conservatives’ campaign messaging, as described in the election coverage, includes a pledge of a $1,000 tax cut by boosting the exemption level, along with plans tied to public auto insurance in B.C.
The Conservatives have also said they would spend a second consecutive day campaigning in Surrey, described in the coverage as a critical battleground.
The campaign has included a report that the B.C. Conservatives dropped their candidate in a Vancouver Island riding over social media posts, after a B.C. NDP candidate called the posts “horrific racism.”
