Where the parties stand on cost of living
Each party in the compass, on each cost of living question in the questionnaire. Verified positions come from the party’s own published material, its record in government or attributable reporting. Where there is none, a clearly labelled AI-assisted estimate is shown instead. How positions are found.
People seriously injured in crashes should be able to sue at-fault drivers, instead of relying only on ICBC’s no-fault benefits.
BC Greens · Emily Lowan
Neutral or mixed
If you work, contribute, or raise a family here, you should be able to afford to build a life here.
Why the model reads it this way: No BC Greens position on ICBC or no-fault insurance was found in their plan or policy briefs, so a neutral value is used. The cited page is the Greens’ plan overview, whose affordability section contains no insurance commitment.
BC NDP · David Eby
Strongly disagree
By cleaning up the financial management at ICBC and implementing Enhanced Care, Eby saved the average driver an approximate $500 per year and froze rates for seven straight years

Conservative Party of BC · Lorne Doerkson (interim)
Strongly agree
We will provide more choice for consumers, meaningful rights to full compensation for people seriously injured by reckless drivers, and protect timely and adequate treatment and rehabilitation.
