The Pulse on CFRO looks back on what the candidates in the Downtown Eastside's Vancouver-Mount Pleasant riding say about big issues — and what advocates want from them.

Wednesday is the last day of advancing voting in B.C., ahead of Saturday's provincial election day.

Advocates in the Downtown Eastside say not enough attention was paid on the campaign trail to the most important issues in the riding, such as drug policy and harm reduction, homelessness, policing and Indigenous rights.

In today's B.C. election homestretch special, The Pulse on CFRO looks back on the campaign's highlights, hears from candidates for the Downtown Eastside's riding — Vancouver-Mount Pleasant — and reviews what experts said about where the parties stand on major policy areas.

Featuring interviews by Mei Xi Tan and David P. Ball with the BC Liberal, NDP and Green candidates, as well as advocates from the Vancouver Tenants Union, Aboriginal LIfe in Vancouver Enhancement (ALIVE), and BC Association of People on Opioid Maintenance.
