BC NDP · David Eby
Strongly disagree
SOGI-inclusive education helps save lives, by respecting and honouring the differences of each student
Why the model reads it this way: NDP education ministers have repeatedly defended SOGI 123, and the Conservatives’ repeal pledge is a point of contrast in this campaign. The cited statement is from 2019; no 2026 statement was found.

BC Greens · Emily Lowan
Strongly agree
BC Green Party Leader Emily Lowan announced today that BC Greens will lift David Eby’s freeze on new $10-a-day childcare spaces and a plan to achieve universal free childcare coverage by 2031 for every family in this province.
BC NDP · David Eby
Somewhat disagree

Conservative Party of BC · Lorne Doerkson (interim)
Somewhat disagree
his new government will never raise taxes on British Columbians
Why the model reads it this way: The Conservatives have made no child-care commitment. A no-new-taxes pledge and a stated aim of reducing the deficit make expansion that adds to the deficit unlikely.
