Leaders televised debate tonight

Leaders from the three main political parties in B-C are set to square off today in the only televised debate before election day.

The three candidates also took part in a radio debate last week, which saw them joust over affordability, health care and the opioid crisis, while trying to undermine each other's credibility to form the next provincial government.
