BC Party Leaders Hold Pre-Election Debate

VANCOUVER - No knockout blows were delivered during the only live leaders' debate before British Columbia's provincial election.

The debate focused on a variety of key issues, from the provincial economy to ICBC rates and the ability to buy a home. B.C. NDP Leader David Eby defended his party's record over nine years in office, while fielding criticism and calls for change from Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson and Green Party Leader Emily Lowan. All three leaders spoke strongly about their respective plans to address the housing crisis, agreeing the issue is a top priority for countless voters heading to the polls on October 24.

The debate was sometimes chaotic and full of shouting, with Eby and Doerkson trying and mostly failing to land any super viral moments, if immediate impressions on social media are any indication.

This is a test.
