It might be Thanksgiving, but neither BC Conservative Leader John Rustad nor BC NDP Leader David Eby took a holiday on Monday.
We're just days away from the provincial election and the BC Conservatives are promising a new children's hospital in Surrey. Leader John Rustad is also facing more pressure after more controversial comments by one of his candidates were unearthed.Monday might be a holiday for most British Columbians, but the leaders of the province’s two front-running political parties didn’t take the day off.
“We need to be thinking not only of what needs to be done today but what needs to be done for the future.”Rustad said Surrey Memorial Hospital currently treats an estimated 50,000 children per year, but was built with a capacity to treat just 20,000. He said up to 1,000 children every year are forced to travel outside of Fraser Health to get the services they need.
Trudeau says Five Eyes allies have seen ‘similar pattern’ from India with ‘attempted extrajudicial killing’BC NDP Leader David Eby was also in Surrey on Monday, where he attacked the BC Conservatives over their plan to end ICBC’s monopoly on auto insurance and to end no-fault insurance for serious injuries.
Eby said inviting private insurance companies into the B.C. market will result in higher costs for drivers. The poll also found that healthcare had risen to the number one election issue, overtaking inflation and the cost of living which have been the top priority for more than a year.
