Brennan Day, the Conservative Party of BC candidate for Courtenay-Comox, filed a complaint with Elections BC over an NDP campaign mailout that he said was designed to look like official election correspondence, Global News reported on October 21, 2026.

The mailout featured a letter from Dr. Habib Ur-Rehman, described in the Global News report as recently arrived in BC from the United Kingdom. In the letter, Dr. Ur-Rehman wrote that one reason he came to BC was that "we saw a government that listened to doctors and was willing to act," and that "the BC Conservatives would take us the other way. They've admitted healthcare and education are going to have to take the brunt of their cuts."

[Brennan Day](/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/brennan-day) told Global News the letter is "clearly designed to mislead people."

## Day's complaint

Day told Global News that people who received the letter contacted him to say the sender, the NDP campaign, did not make it clear the message was coming from them.

"Firstly it looks like official Elections BC mail... and then you get into it, it's a letter from a doctor and the only indication that it's paid for by the NDP, and that it's political mail... is this tiny little authorized by statement that's barely visible to myself," Day said, as quoted by Global News.

BC law requires political mailouts to state who authorized them. How prominently that statement must appear is not specified clearly, Global News reported. No regulator has ruled on Day's complaint. This remains an allegation at the stage of having been filed.

Global News said it tried to reach Dr. Ur-Rehman for comment but was unable to.

## Eby's response

NDP leader David Eby defended the mailout. "I think people understand that was a message that was promoting the BC NDP because this doctor believes we are the best for health care," Eby said, as quoted by Global News.
