The British Columbia's New Democrats released the party's platform Thursday days after the Greens unveiled a plan for government ahead of the election on Oct. 19.
— On the campaign trail, Eby has promised that the NDP will exempt $10,000 of individual income from taxes every year, which translates to an annual tax reduction of about $1,000 for most households and $500 for individuals. — The party pledges to freeze car insurance premiums that the NDP says have fallen 20 per cent annually due to changes made by Eby's government.— One of B.C. Conservatives Leader John Rustad's first announcements in the campaign was the "Rustad Rebate," a plan to exempt $3,000 a month of rent or mortgage interest costs from income taxes, beginning with $1,500 monthly in the 2026 budget.
— Rustad promised to eliminate existing provincial mandates on electric vehicles and heat pumps and would only support alternative energy sources such as solar and wind when it makes "economical" sense. — The Conservatives say they will end bans on plastic straws and cutlery and remove compulsory fees for plastic bags in order to "restore freedom of choice and focus on real solutions for our environment."— Green Leader Sonia Furstenau says her party's platform is aimed at people's "well-being" and includes a promise to create frameworks to measure B.C.'s social and environmental performance instead of using GDP as the standard measurement.
