After this debate, the choice is clearer than ever: Do we want a government with a real plan to make life better in BC, or the same old right-wing party with nothing to offer working people but cuts and closures? For workers, the choice is David Eby and the BC NDP. #BCLab #BCPoli #BCElection

Working people tonight saw a leader in David Eby who's speaking to our day-to-day concerns: better public health care, affordable housing, fairer taxes and good jobs. And critically, he's the only leader who's brought a fully costed plan to the table for making those plans real.

He made a convincing case for re-electing a government that works with working people. Just as important, he made the case that the Conservatives would be a disaster for workers. And in that, he had an ally on the stage: Lorne Doerkson.

Mr. Doerkson had one job in this debate: tell British Columbians how he'd close that massive hole his tax cut scheme will blow in the budget without cutting health care, jobs and services. And even given opportunity after opportunity to explain, he wouldn't — he dodged it every time he was asked.

Every time conservatives say they'll cut taxes without cutting services, they turn around and slash them to the ground. And tonight it’s obvious that’s exactly what they’re planning.

Boooooooooo! What is this? Eby’s NDP has spent the better part of a year fighting directly with unions. Lowan and the Greens are stronger for all people in BC.
