64% Informative

Opinion polls show the New Democrats in a dead heat with the Conservatives .

David Eby is embarking on spending a record $20 billion that the government doesn’t have after two years in office.

Eby has already promised $6.5 billion in low interest loans to underwrite 25,000 units of “middle class” housing, plus a new hospital tower in Nanaimo .

Greens announce support for carbon tax, expanded safer supply of drugs and opposition to involuntary treatment of addicts.

All three stances duplicated positions that the New Democrats used to hold but abandoned under the pressures of the election.

Just the Greens way of messaging: “Vote for us” if you liked what David Eby used to say, before the opinion polls got to him.
