The B.C. Liberals, if elected, would cap bridge tolls at $500 a year, the party promised Sunday.

But she quickly zeroed in on her opponents, warning that the NDP's free-spending ways would drive the province into deficit.

North Vancouver mayor Darrell Mussatto is one of them - he says both parties' promises throw municipalities under the proverbial bus.

The Liberals sent a second complaint letter Monday, alleging the B.C. NDP was in breach of the Act by attempting to use a voter support list collected by the federal NDP in the 2015 federal election.

The NDP is scheduled to release its platform on Thursday, but Horgan has said the party will create jobs by making public investments to attract more private-sector investment. "It's not working if it's all part-time jobs and temporary jobs". "... Christy Clark has one job, and up until recently was getting two salaries, one from you and one from her rich donors". Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver's approval rating increased six points to 35%.

The first campaign stop by Clark was a noon hour rally at the Victoria City Rowing Club on Elk Lake. Former Olympic rower and silver medallist Dave Calder, who is running for the Liberals in Saanich South, played host to the event that drew Liberal candidates from across southern Vancouver Island.

BC Liberal finance minister Mike de Jong said the party's promises are all costed, with additional measures amounting to $157 million more per year by the third year of the party's plan. "She's on her own, and she should speak the truth".

The BC NDP Party is expected to release its election platform later this week.

"I believe in putting more money in the pockets of hard-working British Columbians, not taking more out".

Clark said the biggest commitments were already included in the budget the government tabled in February, including $1 billion to cut MSP premiums in half for households earning up to $120,000 a year.
