Maple Leafs down Kings, pick up third straight win

British Columbia’s Conservatives have unveiled a policy platform that softens some of the party’s most divisive language and positions, striking a more conciliatory tone just ahead of Saturday’s election.For much of the campaign, Conservative Leader John Rustad and his candidates have employed often contentious rhetoric. But the 114-page platform document – released Tuesday, after hundreds of thousands of people had already cast their ballots in advance voting – reflects a strategic shift by the party to appeal to a broader electorate, political observers say.
