Bit of a weird thing: The BC NDP's platform costing is no longer linked to on their website, at least as far as I can see. It used to have a little button on their bcndp.ca/plan page, but that button's now gone. The PDF is still accessible with the direct URL: www.bcndp.ca/sites/defaul...

This costing was already a little strange because folks were treating it like the NDP had released a full platform, when in reality they'd only released this costing, apparently so that Eby could attack Doerkson for not having one at the debate. AFAIK, the NDP's full platform is yet to be released.

I haven't seen a full Conservative platform yet, either. Last time, they released one after advance polls had closed. The Greens, of course, released full platform and costing before the debate, which is par for the course for them.

If anyone knows anything different, please let me know!

Okay, looks like the Conservatives released a platform on Friday(?) and I just missed it amidst the municipal elections. (They also maybe didn't link to it from their Plan page until today?)

Wait, never mind, CBC is saying the platform was released Sunday (today). So I didn't miss it, and their press release from the 16th is just... Hype? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
