Vancouver Rundown Friday September 20, 2024

The B.C. election campaign will officially start on Saturday - when the writ drops - with the BC Conservatives and NDP in a tie, according to the most recent polls. The latest Leger poll echoes others showing statistical ties between the two parties but also finds British Columbians tend to approve of Premier David Eby more than Conservative leader John Rustad. 44 per cent plan to vote NDP, 42 per cent Conservative and 11 per cent Green. Polling does not reflect recent decisions by some former BC United candidates to run as independents.
