More friction between parties after radio debate

Oct 15, 2020 | 12:35 PM

VANCOUVER—An election debate this morning on a Vancouver radio station (CKNW) produced more friction between B-C’s political leaders.

Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson called N-D-P Leader John Horgan a liar and double-crosser over allegedly broken promises and Horgan’s decision to call a snap election.

When Wilkinson criticized the N-D-P government’s preparation on COVID, Horgan responded that the province wasn’t ready because the former Liberal government fired thousand of health-care workers.

During the hour-long debate, Green Leader Sonia Furstenau told the audience her party’s fiscal platform is the most responsible, while saying the Liberal promise to drop the P-S-T and the N-D-P’s one-thousand dollar giveaway won’t help the economy.
