A new Ipsos poll shows the BC Conservatives and BC NDP locked in a tight race, but one issue continues to dominate: affordability. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey break down why cost of living, health care and housing remain voters' biggest concerns, while campaign messages around trade, tariffs and DRIPA struggle to gain traction. They also discuss the battle for Metro Vancouver, a proposed Alberta-to-B.C. pipeline, and why both parties may need to focus more on the issues voters care about most.
