British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby took aim at the premier next door while campaigning in this month’s election, promising not to implement what he called the “U.S.-style privatization” of health care.

BC Greens Leader Emily Lowan says NDP policies on AI data centres don’t go far enough, and the public must play a role in deciding whether they get approved.

Candidates running in this month’s provincial election spent the start of the long weekend on the campaign trail. Here are some of the latest developments.

British Columbia NDP Leader David Eby is calling on Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson to fire his party’s campaign director for comments that called Islam an “abhorrent ideology” which needs to be expelled.

Cori Ramsay, a candidate for city council in Prince George, B.C., says a voter told her they can’t wait to cast a ballot for her on Oct. 24. The voter would surely be disappointed, as Ramsay’s election is a week earlier, on Oct. 17.

Voters who aren’t keen on heading to the polls two Saturdays in a row aren’t going to like this: B.C.’s next provincial and municipal elections are officially scheduled on the exact same day in four years.

The leaders of the two largest political parties in British Columbia were in the election battleground of Surrey on Wednesday pitching plans for businesses and the economy as the campaign reached its halfway point.

Municipal and provincial election signs popping up beside each other all over the province may be adding to confusion for B.C. voters.

On Tuesday, the leader of the B.C. Conservative Party became the latest politician to make a campaign promise outside his jurisdiction, further confusing voters about purviews and responsibilities.
