's provincial election campaign has yet to officially begin — but the first big promises have already been made with both the Liberals and the NDP announcing cuts to bridge tolls. Premier Christy Clark is expected to visit government house today to ask that an election be called for May 9. Liberals made the first move with a promise to cap tolls at $500 a year for commuters using the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges. The cap would save daily commuters more than $1,000 in tolls each year, said Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a statement. "Eliminating the tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears crossings is one way that we will put money back in commuters' pockets and get people moving again," said Horgan.
