For a byelection, Burnaby South has made national headlines since being called by the prime minister back in January.

As the clock is ticking closer to the vote on Monday, here are the latest on-the-ground updates from Burnaby South.

Liberals file complaint against NDP ads

The Liberal candidate Richard Lee has filed a complaint against the NDP with Canada's election watchdog.

The Liberals maintain that NDP ads on Facebook “lack the required authorization tag indicating that the messages are being transmitted with the consent of the candidate’s official agent or the party’s registered agent."

The NDP maintain that their advertisements are in compliance with election law.
