It has been five days since B.C. Premier John Horgan called a snap election taking place next month, in an attempt to form a majority NDP government one year before the next scheduled provincial election.
Since then, Horgan has blamed instability and disagreements with the BC Green caucus as reason for calling the election, both BC Liberal Andrew Wilkinson and BC Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau have clapped back at the NDP for calling an election during a pandemic, a host of candidates have been announced, and plenty has been said about the necessity of calling an election in the first place.
In the first week on the campaign trail, party leaders have barely begun discussing their proposed policies and issues to base their platforms on, as Elections BC sorts out what an election during a pandemic will look like.
With just 29 days to go until General Voting day, Victoria Buzz is looking for insight on what Victoria and Vancouver Island residents want to see discussed on the provincial platform before choosing who to vote for.
