NDP to release full B.C. election platform as party leaders campaign in Metro Vancouver

New Democratic Party Leader David Eby is headed to Surrey Thursday morning, expected to unveil his party’s full provincial election platform.

That leaves only one of the three main parties yet to indicate when it will do the same as the Oct. 19 vote approaches.

Eby is scheduled to appear in Surrey at 10:30 a.m., though there have already been indications of what the NDP platform will look like as he has been making many housing promises along with talking about a $1,000 middle class tax cut.

BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau revealed her party’s “wellbeing” platform on Tuesday.

On Thursday, she’s making an afternoon appearance in West Vancouver to talk about enhancing support for working parents and how a Green government would address “deep poverty.”

That leaves the BC Conservatives as the only party yet to reveal its platform, or when it will do that.

Leader John Rustad is scheduled to make a campaign announcement at 8 a.m. Thursday in downtown Vancouver.

The province is approaching the midpoint of the election campaign, with election day on Oct. 19 with advance voting starting Oct. 10.
