This is a huge day for @AJWVictoriaBC and the BC Greens. This is as much their plan as it is the government’s. Here is the Green response. #bcpoli

[BC Green Party @BCGreens]

"It is time to change, and join the vast majority of democratic countries that have embraced proportional representation. We know PR is a fairer, more transparent and democratic system that actually ensures every voice and vote counts." #bcpoli

"It's not good public policy, it's not good governance" - @AdamPOlsen speaking on how the current electoral system encourages parties to form public policy 'on the fly' during elections. #PRforBC #bcpoli #prorep

[Andrew Weaver @AJWVictoriaBC]

In light of court ruling that NEB inappropriately excluded marine shipping from its review + in light of Federal “it will be built” rhetoric, BC should immediately rescind Equivalent Agreement 4 new review & undertake its own independent environmental assessment #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Once again, @garymasonglobe speaks truth to power on an issue no other senior BC columnist seems willing to touch. "There isn't a bigger issue before us." https://t.co/voSSF8OYc2 #ClimateChange #bcwildfires #bcpoli

Pledge your vote for the #ProportionalRepresentation referendum! https://t.co/NVMUz7yZqy

The official campaign starts July 1. Mail-in ballots will be accepted from Oct. 22 to Nov. 30. Let's win this! #bcpoli #PR4BC

True cost of fed purchase and expansion of Trans Mountain will exceed $12 billion. Tragic to think of what else that money could have accomplished to transition us to a fossil-free economy.

If true, this is beyond disappointing. TM was approved on the basis of oil being $100/barrel+. KM has engineered a jurisdictional conflict to secure an exit. Taxpayer $ should be invested in the clean economy, not a sunset industry subject to volatile commodity markets. #bcpoli https://t.co/SQMw0Rieq4

"I'm voting for you because you had the courage to tell me something you knew I didn't want to hear."
That is honesty in politics, folks. What are you voting for?

Sorry but @RachelNotley claim that "..with or without the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, GHG emissions will not increase" is false. Alberta put a 100MT cap in place for oil-sand emissions. Current emissions are 70MT. That allows for a 40% increase. #bcpoli https://t.co/j2XjfMbFzc

One year ago I was frantically working out bugs in our GOTV system. A very stressful day but the party was excellent and the result was incredible. https://t.co/K6iEQQZc1h

[Bob Warwick @warwick]

One year ago, I was greeting volunteers and giving a Get Out The Vote briefing. What a great day.

Our campaign took 2nd in Victoria-Swan-Lake, raised the Green vote 6.4%, and saw about 2,600 more voters vote.

Good job friends. Let’s do it again next time. https://t.co/h5PMB1TjmK

[Stefan Jonsson @spjonsson]

One year ago today, years and years of hard work and personal sacrifice finally paid off. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to make BC a more compassionate, sustainable and resilient place to live. #bcpoli
