Many British Columbians don't seem to realise there are 5 parties in the BC election.
Left of centre: Greens
Centrist: NDP
Right of centre: CentreBC
Right wing: BC Cons
Far right: OneBC
This election isn't NDP vs Cons. If you hear someone say that, correct them.

This is hilarious because there is a legitimate issue with Eby's implementation of housing policies - municipalities weren't given funding for infrastructure upgrades to facilitate the housing - that BC Cons could've jumped on. But they've missed the boat.
