British Columbia: As the final day of voting in the BC provincial election approaches, all three major parties are intensifying their campaigns. BC NDP Leader David Eby criticized BC Conservative Leader John Rustad’s proposed health care plan, calling it an “American-style” system that would require people to pay for faster access. Rustad denied this, stating his party supports a “European-style system” and promised increased health spending and hospital expansion. Meanwhile, BC Green Leader Sonia Furstenau focused on tackling food insecurity, increasing agricultural water reserves, and funding local food systems, dismissing the BC Conservatives as not a serious party.
