In the first televised debate of the British Columbia election campaign, party leaders sparred over key issues such as health care shortages, the opioid crisis, and economic policies. The debate, aimed at undecided voters, saw B.C. NDP Leader David Eby criticize his opponents, particularly the Conservative Party of B.C., for not presenting a costed platform. The leaders presented starkly different visions for the province's future, with a grim focus on the ongoing health care crisis and rising street drug deaths. The debate highlighted the growing tension in what is shaping up to be a close election race.
It’s frustrating to see the Conservatives still refusing to put forward a costed platform while so many people are suffering from the opioid crisis and health care shortages. Eby’s right to call them out—public health should be a priority, not an afterthought. We need real investments in mental health, addiction services, and universal healthcare now more than ever.

Maybe if the government stopped meddling so much in healthcare and allowed more private options, we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with.
