British Columbia's NDP premier, David Eby, is asking voters to judge whether his government's work on housing, health care and public safety is paying off as the province goes to the polls on Saturday, The Globe and Mail reports.
During the campaign that followed last month's snap election call, Eby has pointed to falling rents after housing reforms, thousands more doctors and nurses, and a scheme aimed at repeat violent offenders. He has also framed the vote as a choice in the face of US President Donald Trump's trade war and a Conservative Party he says would take the province backwards.
The paper notes that more than a million British Columbians still lack a family doctor despite his 2024 pledge, and that his handling of the toxic drug crisis has drawn criticism from both sides of the debate.
