    Leaders televised debate tonight

    • Leaders televised debate tonight

    Leaders from the three main political parties in B-C are set to square off today in the only televised debate before election day.

    The three candidates also took part in a radio debate last week, which saw them joust over affordability, health care and the opioid crisis, while trying to undermine each other's credibility to form the next provincial government.

    Tonight's T-V debate, which will take place from 6:30 to 8 P-M, comes about a week-and-a-half ahead of Election Day on October 19th.

    Advance voting goes from October 10th to 13th and October 15th to 16th.
