Eby told reporters Tuesday that he's open to working with opposition-in-waiting B.C. Conservatives — so long as they respect the "bright line" of rejecting hate, division and conspiracy.

But Elections BC says two seats are subject to automatic judicial recounts because the results in the ridings of Kelowna Centre and Surrey-Guildford are too close.

Neither Premier David Eby's New Democrats nor John Rustad's B.C. Conservatives emerged from the weekend with the magic number of 47 seats required to form a majority in the province's 93-seat legislature.

After last weekend's inconclusive election result, B.C. Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau said Wednesday that she spoke briefly with NDP Leader David Eby, while a call from B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad went unanswered.

British Columbia's redrawn political landscape won't be settled for about a week, with manual recounts triggered in two key ridings after a nail-biting provincial election that has yet to produce a clear winner.

British Columbia's election campaign enters its final day in what is viewed as a too-close-to-call contest where David Eby's New Democrats and the B.C. Conservatives led by John Rustad debated big issues of housing, health care, affordability and the overdose crisis, but also tangled over plastic straws and a billionaire’s billboards.

British Columbia's three party leaders offered starkly different visions of the province and its future on Tuesday in the only televised debate of what appears to be an increasingly close election campaign.

NDP Leader David Eby promised on Sunday to support police in British Columbia to keep illegal guns off the streets and protect communities, but accused B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad of planning to make the province less safe.

The New Democratic Party shared the video Monday, while Leader David Eby said voters in B.C. should be aware that the B.C. Conservative Party leader's "health policy is driven by conspiracy theories from the internet."

The Conservative Party of B.C. that didn't elect a single member in the last election and gained less than two per cent of the popular vote is now leading the charge for centre-right, anti-NDP voters.
