Rustad highlights his view of the issues in the province including crime, addiction, a broken health care system, and carbon pricing
The leader of the party fighting to take control of the B.C. government from the NDP on Oct. 19 painted a dire picture of the province in his last public speech before the campaign period begins Saturday.
The orange campaign bus is adorned with photos of people with Mr. Eby standing in the centre and slogans such as “action for you,” “homes you can afford,” and “better health care.” He said his party would deal with the problem of toxic-drug use, homelessness, violent crime, and public disorder by creating a more robust, comprehensive treatment system.But he said there are measures to ensure that people committing violent crimes get put away – using the Mental Health Act if necessary.
The $1-billion, which is barely enough to pay for a quarter of a Metro Vancouver filtration plant, would be amplified with as much as $30-billion from the federal government that Conservatives would work to get, Mr. Rustad said. Giving full title to Indigenous groups on Haida Gwaii, he said, means that “title will now exist under your private property, underneath your communities” and that Haida law will prevail on taxation and regulation.
