What an amazing recognition! @VoteCentreBC has the only platform that received 0 Fails with 11 Passes on this scorecard created by Young British Columbians for Better Governance. The scorecard is based on how strongly a party addresses the issues facing Young British Columbians.
While our team isn't endorsing in this election, we still wanted to make sure we reviewed what each party is proposing. That is why today, we are releasing our scorecard of the party platforms, based on how strongly they address the issues facing Young British Columbians.

CentreBC leader Elenore Sturko says she already considers her party's election campaign a success, regardless of whether they win any seats on election day: β€œThis was our opportunity to introduce ourselves to British Columbians and let them know that there is an alternative, that there is a centrist party.”

Corrections. They should consider voting @CentreBC as a viable option to keep both the @BCNDP and @Conservative_BC accountable and to ensure neither party has a majority government.

Why do conservatives think it’s OK to be mean to people and make politics personal?

If the BC Conservatives win today’s provincial election, that means party members could effectively determine who becomes the next premier after British Columbians have already voted. Their track record is not good @VoteCentreBC

Actually, mathematically it is possible. But, the best outcome for good governance would be a minority government with CentreBC holding the balance of power. We would ensure fiscal responsibility, good governance and a focus on issue that matter. #bcpoli

As B.C. transitions to the Children and Youth Disability Benefit, families relying on autism funding must not be left behind. CentreBC will re-examine eligibility and income thresholds to expand access and recognize different levels of need. #CentreBC #BCPoli

AI is changing jobs. Starting September 2027, CentreBC proposes up to $2,000 in additional retraining support for eligible workers 40+ in jobs highly exposed to AI. The plan would fund 2,500 people annually. centrebc.ca/platform #CentreBC #BCPoli

After 13 years in policing, Elenore Sturko had witnessed the devastating impacts of addiction, mental health crises and suicide. Those experiences helped inspire her transition into politics, driven by a desire to create lasting change for British Columbians. #CentreBC #BCPoli

Exactly. As a long time federal liberal, I refuse to compromise my values. I am here to support @elenoresturko as we create a home for @MarkJCarney @LPCBC voters in #bcpoli. And in #obgh, it looks like that option will prevail.
