David Eby Joins Prince Rupert NDP Candidate for Campaign Office Opening
Eby said the NDP is focused on affordability, rural health care and North Coast protections as Davidson seeks 100 signatures before the Oct. 24 election.
On Sunday, NDP Leader David Eby opened a campaign office in Prince Rupert with Laanas Tamara Davidson, the North Coast-Haida Gwaii candidate, marking the first stop on his provincial campaign tour.
Prioritizing affordability and protecting the North Coast, Eby reiterated commitments to maintain the North Coast Tanker Ban and support the North Coast Transmission Line during his visit.
At the Rupert Square Mall, Davidson welcomed regional candidates Jesse Gervais, the B.C. NDP candidate for Nechako Lakes, and Sarah Zimmerman, a Terrace city councillor and Skeena candidate, while seeking 100 signatures.
Eby criticized the B.C. Conservatives' deficit-reduction approach, asserting it could harm health care, while noting the NDP's one-seat majority has limited the government's ability to advance its legislative agenda.
Today, Eby is scheduled to announce job creation initiatives at DP World Prince Rupert's Fairview Terminal alongside regional NDP candidates, focused on building the provincial economy.
