Every election, the Langley Advance surveys our candidates on a range of issues, asking for yes or no (or don’t know) answers. We also allow our prospective MLAs to answer at length. Click the links below to find individual candidates and see their long answers, or check your copy of the Langley Advance and study the grid on page A3 to see who said yes and who said no on various questions.
Here are the questions:
1. Do you support the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline?
2. Should the province intervene further to cool real estate prices?
3. Should schools be built before anticipated population growth?
4. Should modest tolls be placed on all bridges and major highways to fund TransLink?
5. Should fast-growing Langley have its own courthouse again?
6. Should political donations be capped for MLAs and parties?
7. Would you support a moratorium on removing land from the ALR?
8. Should B.C. allow 18 year olds to smoke legal marijuana?
9. Would you support raising provincial taxes to help house the homeless?
10. Should addicts be prescribed heroin/opioids to help control the overdose crisis?
