Now we are getting somewhere. NDP leader looks on as Rustad speaks... not the truth... Green Leader focuses on policy she would bring

#bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Eby speaks on housing policy emphasizing government role in building affordable housing. #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Furetenau speaks on imposing rent caps and building tens of thousands of homes. "Have to stop protecting real estate investors" #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Rustad has gone back 3 out of 5 times he has sppken, to "youth leaving BC".

They will "unleash the potential of the private sector" #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

so far it has been a pretty staid affair. Only a minor amount of talk over each other during the open segments. And mostly talling points from the leaders. No homeruns. #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Eby targets Rustad's history in the previous 16 years and the impact on seniors homes. #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Eby goes on the attack on anti-vax. Rustad says "I am anti mandate" #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris

Thank you for covering this.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Furstenau ignores the attack line of questioning and goes to policy. Rustad earlier said to Eby he would "explain" his Nuremberg comments.

Eby says "we believe science works"

@LALegault

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Furstenau says there needs to be "regulated alternative"
to toxic drugs #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

The moderator turns Rustad back to what she asked.

He focused on the government not being "a drug
dealer" #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Eby addresses why the govenment pulled back from decriminalizing. "not simple solutions" #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Rustad "will not enforce Federal gun laws" says Eby.
Accuses Rustad of doing nothing when bags of money brought by gangs into BC Casinos under Liberal Gov.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

So far I would say the two on the right have been carrying most of the conversation. Rustad has spent the most time answering attacks.
Rustad:
"David Eby, we have seen people arrested distributing drugs in these facilities"
(on overdose prevention sites). #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[amgine@mamot.fr]

@chris

That's actually a bad sign.

The tactic as leader is to slow it down, and be attacked. The tactic as the chasing leader is to speed it up, make attacks.

But Rustad is the negative platform campaign. So the others are lowering themselves to his level.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

On Indigenous Rights... after explaining their continued work with First Nations, Eby attacks "racist"
Conservative candidates refusing to wear orange shirts #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@Amgine agree so far the Green has not done much attacking.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

"Ultimately we will have indigenous law over private land" Rustad "warns"

this is total nonsense.

@chris To my eye Rustad is getting crushed.
