Parties’ mining and energy policies scrutinized ahead of British Columbia election

While far from perfect, the BC Conservative Party appears to have the best policies for mining and energy ahead of the provincial election on Oct. 19, an AOTH analysis has found.

Leader John Rustad, a former BC Liberal Cabinet minister before the renamed BC United Party threw their lot in with the BC Conservatives to avoid re-electing the NDP through vote splitting, is in a dead heat against David Eby of the BC New Democratic Party.

The BC Green Party is polling a distant third.
