I am now in Coquitlam. NDP leader John Horgan about to start his daily availability. He is being introduced by former NDP MP and current Coquitlam-Burke Mountain candidate Fin Donnelly. #bcpoli #bcvotes
This is the second visit for Horgan to Coquitlam. Horgan says the BC Liberals made a choice in Burke Mountain to sell off public lands instead of using the land to build a new school. #bcpoli #bcvotes
Horgan says the priority in Burke Mountain needs to be new schools. Says he is announcing final stages of concept plan for high school and middle school in the community. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On not being able to stay in car on closed BC Ferries car decks, Horgan says he has been pushing the federal government to reconsider. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On protest in Strathcona park from concerned residents, Horgan says the province is working on finding housing options and ask community members for patients as the province works through this. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On Olympic Village school and wait lists for local schools, Horgan indicates they will be committing to a new school. Says they are working at getting more cash from Ottawa. "These things don't happen over night" #bcpoli #bcvotes
On progress on homeless issue, Horgan says progress has been made but it doesn't look like it because shelter beds are not available. Says Pandora strip, Oppenheimer, Nanaimo and Whalley have improved. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On getting rid of PST, Horgan says it will not lead to getting rid of homelessness. Says NDP will be focused on targeted reductions. Says the cut is an $8 billion blow in the budget. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On huge poll lead, Horgan says polls will come and polls will go. Now talking about this team and the strength of it. #bcpoli #bcvotes
Horgan doesn't seem worried the big poll numbers will keep NDP voters from votings. Says he is humbled by how many people believe he is the best person to guide the province through COVID. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On getting Burke Mountain school done, Horgan says the goal is to get the high school done by 2023. #bcpoli #bcvotes
