Party leaders clash during first weekend of B.C.’s election campaign
A new video on CBC British Columbia usually opens with a first day of around five thousand views. The report from the first weekend of the provincial election campaign did roughly ten times that. It arrived on a day when the whole channel was running well above its usual pace.
The video is built on one exchange. B.C. Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson promised no new taxes if his party forms government. NDP Leader David Eby, who succeeded John Horgan as premier in 2022, replied that health care would "take the brunt" of the cuts that would follow. That is the whole premise: one pledge, one warning, and a campaign only a weekend old.
The channel describes itself as a home for highlights, special programming and behind-the-scenes fun from the CBC's B.C. newsroom. Its standout here is the plainest kind of election story, two leaders and a question about who pays for what.
