Decision BC: The Campaign | New Surrey mayor enters the chat

Description

Just days after Doug McCallum's election as Surrey mayor, both the BC NDP and BC Conservatives rushed to embrace his signature promise of SkyTrain to Newton, highlighting Surrey's growing influence on the provincial election. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey discuss the rare spectacle of both major parties backing the same major infrastructure project in a bid to win support in what remains the election's most important battleground. The pair examine why Surrey continues to command so much attention from both campaigns, and how McCallum's victory is already reshaping the conversation in a city that could help determine who forms government on election night. They also discuss David Eby's visit to Kelowna, where the BC NDP sees an opportunity in a newer urban riding, and Lorne Doerkson's campaign stop on Vancouver Island, where Conservatives believe Green support could influence outcomes in several close races. Finally, Ben and Keith break down efforts by the BC Greens to build momentum following Emily Lowan's debate performance, including support from newly elected Vancouver mayor Pete Fry. They examine the growing importance of Green voters, David Eby's efforts to win them back, and why Green support could still play a pivotal role in the campaign's final days.
