Seniors took centre stage on the campaign trail as the BC Conservatives unveiled a property tax deferment proposal aimed at older voters. Ben O'Hara-Byrne and Keith Baldrey discuss why seniors remain one of the province's most reliable and engaged voting blocs, how issues like affordability, property taxes and health care resonate with them, and why both parties are paying close attention to their concerns as the election enters a critical phase.
