New Democrat Leader David Eby is making a late appeal to voters to support the party even if they never have before, as the British Columbia election campaign enters it final days.

Eby said Tuesday there hasn91裸聊视频檛 been an election as significant 91裸聊视频渇or a generation,91裸聊视频 on the day John Rustad91裸聊视频檚 rival B.C. Conservative Party is poised to release its costed platform and just four days before election day on Saturday.

91裸聊视频淭his is an incredibly close election,91裸聊视频 Eby said at a news conference at a housing construction project in Surrey. 91裸聊视频淓very vote is going to count, right cross the province.91裸聊视频

Elections BC says about 597,000 people have already voted in four days of advance polling.

Eby stood at the constuction site with a sign in the background parodying anti-NDP political billboards put up outside the home of Vancouver billionaire Chip Wilson during the campaign.

91裸聊视频淛ohn Rustad will give tax breaks to billionaires and speculators, that91裸聊视频檚 why they are making signs,91裸聊视频 said the NDP billboard.

Eby91裸聊视频檚 Surrey stop focused on the NDP91裸聊视频檚 two major themes during the campaign - housing and attacking Rustad91裸聊视频檚 B.C. Conservatives, especially what it has depicted as conspiratorial views of the leader himself and several of his candidates.

Eby focused Tuesday on Surrey-South B.C. Conservative candidate Brent Chapman, whose social media posts about Palestinians, residential schools and mass shootings at a Quebec mosque and the Sandy Hook school in the U.S. have surfaced during the campaign.

91裸聊视频淛ust when I thought we had hit the bottom in terms of the conduct of Conservative candidates, the open racism, the hate for women, the hate for Indigenous people, Muslims, people who are gay, I could go on,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淏rent Chapman, the Conservative candidate for Surrey-South, takes it a step further.91裸聊视频

In a 2017 post by Chapman about mass shootings he said: 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 sorry but all the recent 91裸聊视频榤ass shooting events91裸聊视频 have some other things in common: they all happened in the last eight years, they all have sketchy stories that change drastically.91裸聊视频

He mentioned the 91裸聊视频淎urora, Sandy Hook and Quebec City91裸聊视频 shootings and says 91裸聊视频淚 really hope no one was actually killed at any of these events.91裸聊视频

Chapman explained his post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday by saying that what he had been 91裸聊视频渢rying to say is the whirlwind of US media and commentary makes everything chaotic and confusing.91裸聊视频

Rustad has refused calls to drop Chapman as a candidate.

Eby asked voters 91裸聊视频渉ow would you feel91裸聊视频 to wake up on Oct. 20 to a B.C. Conservative government that included 91裸聊视频渉ateful91裸聊视频 candidates and policies that he says will be 91裸聊视频渄riving up your costs in every possible way.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淔or people who share the values of strong public services, of growing the economy while protecting the environment, of prioritizing and valuing science, whether it91裸聊视频檚 vaccine science or climate science, and that our kids get access to those materials in our classrooms as they learn about our world, I91裸聊视频檓 asking people to stick together and to think very carefully about where they place their X on that ballot,91裸聊视频 he said.

Rustad has said he would eliminate the provincial carbon tax and exempt up to $3,000 a month in rent or mortgage payments from income taxes, while eliminating the provincial deficit within two terms of government.

The NDP and the Green Party have already released costed platforms that both forecast adding about $2.9 billion to the deficit in their first years.

The Greens say their platform would increase the province91裸聊视频檚 deficit by about $1.5 billion in its third year, while the NDP has said theirs would do so by an almost identical amount by 2026-2027.

B.C. budget deficit is projected to be a record $9 billion this year.

Green Leader Sonia Furstenau said Tuesday that Rustad and his Conservatives are 91裸聊视频渘ot serious enough to govern91裸聊视频 and they 91裸聊视频渄o not deserve the kind of support they91裸聊视频檙e getting right now.91裸聊视频

Furstenau said it91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渓aughable91裸聊视频 the Conservatives have taken so long to release their costed election platform.
