Three B.C. Party Leaders to Face Off in only Televised Debate of Election
CentreBC says the consortium should invite all five party leaders, arguing the debate’s current lineup leaves out elected MLAs and limits voter choice.
- On Oct. 14, 2026, NDP Leader David Eby, Leader Lorne Doerkson, and Green Leader Emily Lowan face off in British Columbia's only televised provincial debate, running from 6:15 p.m. to 8 p.m.
- The Election Debate Consortium excluded CentreBC Leader Elenore Sturko and OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie from the event, despite both being elected MLAs; the Green Party leader holds no Legislature seat.
- Green Party Leader Emily Lowan released the party's platform on Tuesday, describing it as a plan that looks "beyond the failures of the status quo" and multinational corporate influence.
- The Green Party platform commits $9.3 billion annually for social services, funded by a tax on "excessive wealth." The party claims the levy would raise $22.2 billion in its first year.
- CentreBC urged the Election Debate Consortium to reconsider excluding Elenore Sturko and Dallas Brodie, arguing that excluding political alternatives disadvantages British Columbians seeking fair representation.
