Amid this strongly negative budget response, the BC Conservatives have opened a clear lead in BC vote intention.

VANCOUVER, BC — The Conservative Party of BC has surged in recent polling, amid the disastrous BC NDP budget. If an election were held today, the Conservatives would win a majority government.

“We now see the BC Conservatives leading with 40% combined support (47% decided), ahead of the NDP at 34% (39% decided). This is a widening of the gap since November 2025. A majority (52%) are dissatisfied with the provincial government, and 60% say it is time for a change,” according to Innovative Research Group.

“After a decade of BC NDP government, British Columbians are worse off by every metric,” said Interim Leader Trevor Halford. “The recent budget is the best example of how the BC NDP are leaving people behind. Not only is it the worst deficit in history, but it also introduced new taxes on seniors, including changes to the property tax deferral program. It also defunds funding for children with autism, does little to address the healthcare crisis and hurts small businesses.”

“Amidst our Leadership Contest, our party is rapidly growing in membership and support. We have never seen this much grassroots momentum,” said Executive Director Angelo Isidorou. “BC is facing a property rights crisis that has shattered public confidence in some of the most basic promises of our society. The right to own your property is now in question following years of radical policies pushed by the BC NDP, and will continue to be pushed by whoever they soon choose to replace their current leader.”
