B.C.'s Snap Campaign Has a Poll Leader, and Its Leader's First Official Announcement Still to Come

The BC Conservatives are leading in the polls as British Columbia's snap election campaign gets underway, according to Global News Canada. Sunday is scheduled as leader Lorne Doerkson's first official campaign announcement of the race — a gap worth noticing in its own right, since a party can sit atop the polls before its leader has begun making the formal case for itself. Poll position at the start of a short campaign reflects standing more than a plan; the announcements that follow are where a leader converts that standing into something voters are actually being asked to endorse.
