Candidates in the Kelowna area are in the final stretch before election day, and the campaign talk is sharpening. BC NDP Leader David Eby said on Tuesday that the Conservatives have taken the region for granted. His argument was that voters in the area will not simply fall in line out of habit. He pressed the point that no party can assume automatic support from an electorate no matter the history there. The remarks form part of a closing push to persuade communities that the region's political loyalties are up for grabs. Eby's jab signals that the NDP sees openings in the Interior and refuses to write the region off. How the message plays will only become measurable once the votes are counted.
