10/3 podcast: B.C. heads to the polls amid Conservative turmoil and municipal election fallout

British Columbia Premier David Eby arrives for a First Ministers meeting in Charlottetown, PEI Thursday July 23, 2026.

Despite the resignation of B.C.’s Conservative leader, and the appointment of an interim one, British Columbians find themselves in the middle of a snap election.

NDP leader David Eby, hoping to capitalize on an opposition in turmoil, is sending B.C. voters to the polls one week after a province-wide municipal election.

Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer joins host Dave Breakenridge to talk about the fallout from Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s resignation, how the election call may have bolstered the Conservatives’ prospects, and how the municipal vote has become an issue in the provincial race.
