The Conservative Party of BC published a page on October 5 citing public statements made by [Amanda Burrows](/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/amanda-burrows), the BC NDP candidate for Vancouver-Strathcona, about police budget funding.

The page, published on the Conservative Party's own website, cited multiple quotes attributed to Burrows from video clips of public forums. In those clips, Burrows is quoted saying she would reallocate police budget money and that adding more police to a community causes harm. The Conservative Party described these positions as radical. That characterization is the party's own view.

## What the Conservative page says Burrows said

The Conservative Party's October 5 page attributes the following statements to Burrows: "we need to reallocate it" regarding the police budget; "let's take some money away from the police budget"; and "adding more police into this community, creating more harm." These quotes are presented as drawn from video clips. This article has not independently verified the clips or confirmed they are complete and in context.

[Margareta Dovgal](/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/margareta-dovgal), the Conservative Party's candidate for Vancouver-Yaletown, is quoted on the page responding to the statements. The page does not include any response from Burrows or the BC NDP.

## No NDP response found

The Conservative Party's page does not include a response from Burrows or the NDP. Before publishing this article, no public response from Burrows or the BC NDP to this specific Conservative page was found. This article records that absence, not a conclusion about the accuracy of the characterization.

The Conservative Party has published similar pages about other NDP candidates during this campaign, using the same format and title structure. Those pages also rely on the party's own characterization of its opponents.
