Cadaverous

PolitiCoast

The big televised debate has come and we break down how it went, who did well (Furstenau) and who did bad (Rustad). Following that, we’ve had another dump of opposition research, almost entirely targeted South Surrey Conservative candidate Brent Chapman. It hasn’t moved the polls yet, but maybe things are shifting (if we squint)? And a roundup of announcements that do not include a costed Conservative platform (just a few more days, they promise).
