Affordability and health care remain the defining issues in British Columbia's election campaign. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey examine the NDP's push on long-term care and a proposed tax increase on higher-income earners, along with the growing debate over how governments should pay for major spending commitments. They also discuss Conservative criticism of what the party calls a "doctors tax," ER closures in rural B.C., deficit concerns and a new Angus Reid poll that shows a competitive race between the BC Conservatives and BC NDP as both parties compete for voters focused on affordability and health care.
