Leaders televised debate tonight

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Oct, 2024 10:57 AM

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.

Radio silence so far, from David Eby’s NDP.

Somewhere in the BC NDP war room, Eby’s radical NDP team are debating whether to denounce a mob burning the Canadian flag.

It’s time to elect a Common Sense Conservative government that just does the right thing to begin with. #bcpoli https://t.co/7JYnW065Rl
