We’ll get mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy finally pay their fair share.
Qualification: The Greens’ detailed proposals tax net wealth, not income; no position on income-tax brackets was found.
The highest earners will pay slightly more through a 2% point increase on the top two tax brackets and a new bracket for income over a million dollars.
his new government will never raise taxes on British Columbians
it’s impossible to both reduce government revenue and cut the deficit without making cuts to healthcare.
Qualification: Quoted from NDP candidate Grace Lore in a party release responding to a Conservative tax promise.
his government will cut provincial income taxes by $1,000 a year for nearly every working British Columbian
Qualification: The party also pledges no cuts to health care; it has not said how the tax cut would be paid for.
Establish an ongoing annual tax on extreme wealth, beginning 2% on net wealth above $50 million, 3% above $100 million, and 5% above $1 billion.
Why the model reads it this way: The Greens have proposed no broad income-tax cut. Their tax agenda raises new revenue for child care, transit and housing, which runs against cutting revenue for public services.
Establish an ongoing annual tax on extreme wealth, beginning 2% on net wealth above $50 million, 3% above $100 million, and 5% above $1 billion.
his new government will never raise taxes on British Columbians
The highest earners will pay slightly more through a 2% point increase on the top two tax brackets and a new bracket for income over a million dollars.
Why the model reads it this way: The NDP chose higher income-tax brackets, not a wealth tax, to raise revenue from top earners, and says 96% of residents will pay nothing more. No support for a wealth tax was found.
End approvals for new fracking expansion, LNG terminals and expansions, and new fossil-fuel pipelines in British Columbia.
The BC NDP has made a real commitment to continuing to support LNG expansion and rural economic development.
Conservative Party of BC releases its ambitious plan to turn BC Into the energy superpower the world needs after a lost NDP decade, doubling LNG production by 2032, tripling by 2035
Maintain BC’s legislated long-term climate targets and establish interim targets and accountability measures that reflect where emissions are today and keep the province on track for 2040 and 2050.
End emissions limits that are currently stopping further investment in BC beyond LNG Canada and driving projects to hostile countries and countries with worse environmental and social records.
The BC NDP has made a real commitment to continuing to support LNG expansion and rural economic development.
Why the model reads it this way: The NDP supports LNG expansion while funding climate action (a $50M Clean Futures Fund from new oil and gas revenue). Its campaign has not said whether it would keep or loosen sector emissions limits, so a mixed position is estimated.
Permitting should be clear, adequately staffed and predictable, but faster decisions cannot come from weakening environmental assessment, Indigenous rights or opportunities for affected communities to shape projects.
Meeting fixed permitting timelines for mining exploration paired with strong environmental protections and meaningful First Nations engagement.
Qualification: Commitment is specific to mining, and pairs deadlines with environmental protections.
Pass a 120 Day Permitting Act for major projects;
Put a moratorium on the construction and operation of AI data centres, until a detailed public-interest audit is developed and appropriate regulatory regime implemented.
Capping electricity for new AI data centres: Maintaining BC Hydro’s firm limit on the amount of electricity available for new data centres and ensuring that only projects that meet the highest environmental standards are approved.
Get the North Coast transmission line built on a fixed deadline, hold regular calls for new power so LNG never competes with homes and businesses for electricity, and give plants carbon-price certainty that rewards the cleanest operators without charging BC exporters costs their competitors don’t pay.
Why the model reads it this way: The Conservatives have no data-centre policy. Their energy plan focuses on adding power supply and attracting investment rather than rationing electricity, which suggests they would not favour strict caps.
Immediately restart the Community Housing Fund and Indigenous Housing Fund, with a goal of building and protecting 26,000 housing units per year.
The change will help put more empty units into the long-term rental market, while any additional revenue will go to building more affordable homes people need.
A BC Conservative government led by Lorne Doerkson will bring down the cost of building and buying a home so more homes get built and families can afford to live in them.
Why the model reads it this way: The Conservatives’ only housing commitment is to lower the cost of building and buying homes, and they pledge no new taxes. Funding much more non-market housing through higher taxes conflicts with both.
Increase funding for nurses in the public system to support safe nurse-to-patient ratios and phase out reliance on private agency nurses and for-profit staffing agencies.
Fair wages for care workers: Bringing 5,000 care-home workers back into the public health employer system to ensure stable staffing, better continuity of care, and fair pay.
Seniors waiting for a bed will also receive portable public funding, giving them and their families a real choice among qualified providers, including non-government options with strong performance safeguards.
Qualification: The party also commits to keeping health care universal and publicly funded.
Fight the toxic drugs crisis with effective harm reduction and real investment in voluntary care.
one of those pieces includes involuntary care here in the region

Introduce compassionate intervention so that people whose severe addiction, mental illness or brain injury are taken off the street and into care.
Treat drug use as a health and social issue, not a criminal one, by decriminalising possession of drugs for personal use.
We are not going back to the old policy of decriminalized, public drug use in British Columbia
Qualification: Eby quoted by Global News, January 2026 (government record).
The Conservative Party of BC will take back our streets by empowering police officers to enforce the law, ending open drug use in our towns and cities.
Provide regulated, pharmaceutical alternatives to the illicit drug supply to reduce fatalities associated with substance use.
End the NDP’s failed “safe supply” experiment and expand access to naloxone.
all patients have to be witnessed by a pharmacist while they consume their medication
Why the model reads it this way: In February 2025 the NDP government moved prescribed safer supply to witnessed consumption rather than ending it. It has made no 2026 campaign commitment either way.
Continue supporting and expanding the SOGI 123 initiative to create inclusive school environments that support 2SLGBTQIA+ students and address the topics of gender identity and sexual orientation.
But I do believe that SOGI has to be repealed.
Qualification: Statement by leader Lorne Doerkson, published on the party’s plan page.
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 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.

Qualification: Government record (Budget 2026). The NDP has made no 2026 campaign commitment on child care.
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.
Remove uncertainty and opacity that currently exists by implementing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) through legislation.
…his plans to suspend parts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
Qualification: Government record as reported by The Canadian Press; the report says the Conservatives, not the government, plan repeal.
So the reality is it (DRIPA) has to be repealed…
Qualification: Statement by leader Lorne Doerkson on September 28, 2026, published on the party’s plan page.
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
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.
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.
Today, the BC Greens announced their commitment to fully funding B.C.’s transit services to ensure fast, frequent transit is available across the province, including free transit passes for youth under 25 and seniors 65+.
Qualification: The Greens have not proposed road pricing or a vehicle levy.

Why the model reads it this way: The Conservatives pledge no new taxes and have made no transit-funding commitment, so new driver levies or road pricing are estimated as strongly opposed.
