There was no mistaking that Thursday's event in the Vancouver-Langara riding was a full-throttle, partisan event.
There was no mistaking that Thursday’s event in the Vancouver-Langara riding was a full-throttle, partisan event.
Premier David Eby held court with his NDP base Thursday at the party's first official campaign event in the countdown to the Oct. 19 election.
“The clock is ticking. We are E-minus 121 days to the provincial election,” Eby told the crowd.
The premier also flagged the birth of his third child, due in one week.
“We’re expecting a beautiful baby girl. I mean, I haven’t seen her yet, but her mom's good-looking,” he joked.
The mood at the event was energized, as Eby took shots at his opponents and introduced new candidates to the enthusiastic crowd.
Not to be left out, BC United leader Kevin Falcon held his own news conference Thursday, pledging to balance the budget if elected and targeting younger voters.
