The BC Conservatives launched their campaign in Surrey with a promise of no new taxes and a focus on affordability and economic management. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey discuss whether that message gives the Conservatives an advantage with voters concerned about the cost of living, questions around balancing a budget amid a $13.8-billion deficit, and how the NDP plans to respond.
