A candidate controversy, a new ICBC rate-freeze promise and fresh questions about affordability all put leadership under the spotlight on the campaign trail. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey discuss Lorne Doerkson's decision to quickly remove a Conservative candidate over offensive online comments and whether the move helped demonstrate decisive leadership. The pair also examine the continuing fallout from comments suggesting changes to no-fault insurance remain on the table, the NDP's response with an ICBC rate freeze, and a major Conservative tax-cut proposal. They also break down new polling on David Eby and Lorne Doerkson, the challenges facing an incumbent premier versus a relatively unknown challenger, and why next week's leaders' debate could become one of the most important moments of the campaign.
