Lək̓ʔəŋən [LEKWUNGEN] TERRITORY / VICTORIA, B.C. — Leader of the BC Greens Emily Lowan responded to David Eby’s plea to Green voters to vote for the BC NDP:
“David Eby called this snap election two years early. Now he’s trying to scare British Columbians into voting for him.
He says the differences between us are small. Tell that to the families waiting on the $10-a-day child care he froze, the seniors waiting on the seven long-term care homes he delayed, and the renters still waiting for housing they can actually afford. Tell it to the nurses I stood with on the picket line this summer, to the First Nations who watched him try to suspend parts of DRIPA, and to everyone still waiting for the climate action he ran away from.
That’s why longtime New Democrats like Svend Robinson and Harold Steves are standing with BC Greens, and why more join us every day. They’re welcome in a party that truly stands up for working people.
Premier Eby says he hasn’t been perfect. British Columbians aren’t asking for perfect. They’re asking for a government that keeps its word, makes life affordable, and makes sure care is there when they need it. Last night, Vancouver showed that people are ready for Green leadership. British Columbians can send that same Green message across the province on election day.”
