Candidate for Burnaby North

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 12 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Healthcare

Will there be a doctor, a hospital, and care when we need it?

  • NDP will protect and strengthen public services and health-care access in Burnaby.

“People in Burnaby deserve to know what the Conservatives' $5 billion fiscal gap would mean for their health care. You can't promise tax breaks for the wealthy, leave a massive hole in your fiscal plan and expect there to be no consequences. The BC NDP is choosing to protect and strengthen the public services people rely on, including better access to health care here in our community.”
