As the provincial election approaches, the question on everyone’s mind is: who will you be casting your vote for? To find out, I hit the streets of Kelowna to speak with residents and get a sense of their political preferences.
First, I spoke with John, a 45-year-old business owner. He shared that he will be voting for the Liberal party, citing their track record of supporting small businesses and creating jobs. He also mentioned their plans for economic recovery post-pandemic as a major factor in his decision.
Next, I met with Sarah, a 32-year-old teacher. She expressed her support for the NDP, highlighting their commitment to investing in education and healthcare. She also praised their efforts in addressing climate change and promoting social justice.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Mark, a 60-year-old retiree. He stated that he will be voting for the Green party, as he believes in their focus on environmental sustainability and their promise to implement a universal basic income. He also mentioned their stance on electoral reform as a key factor in his decision.
Lastly, I spoke with Emily, a 28-year-old student. She shared that she will be voting for the Conservative party, stating that she aligns with their fiscal policies and their promise to lower taxes. She also mentioned their plans for improving mental health services as a major factor in her decision.
It is clear that the residents of Kelowna have diverse political views and priorities when it comes to casting their vote in the upcoming election. As the candidates continue to campaign and share their platforms, it will be interesting to see how these opinions may shift or solidify. One thing is for sure, every vote counts and it is important for everyone to exercise their right to vote on election day.
