RICHMOND, B.C. — Stephen Harper says British Columbia voters may determine who wins power on Oct. 19, hoping to dissuade strategic voting on election day.
Strategic voting is a possibility as the government removed laws that prohibited the broadcasting of election results until polls closed on the West Coast.
Harper says this election won’t be determined by voters out East before voters in the West have a chance to vote.
The Conservative leader made his first pitch to British Columbia voters Tuesday at a rally in a crowded hotel room in Richmond.
The Tories and NDP are fighting for dozens of seats in the province, including six new ridings.
Harper took aim at the record of the New Democrats in B.C., arguing that the 1990s were a “decade of darkness” for the province and suggesting the federal NDP in power would do the same kind of damage.
