Campbell represents corporate takeover, James represents who knows what, the greens are just fascists, and they all swim in a Zionist media-scape where they can't mention the controlling factor that makes all of them into Shabaz Goi caricatures.

Two of the three major parties appear to be trying to duck the issue, which strikes me as a cop-out. (The Greens are vocally pro-BC-STV.)

We already know the parties' particular stance, but there's lots of unexplored implications - in particular, with STV support in young voters somewhere around 75%, how does opposition to the measure jibe with the parties trying to motivate young people to vote? Will they commit to rapid implementation if STV passes? I think an interesting line of questioning would be surrounding STV.

Some didn't even list their city let alone their riding name. One person's last tweet was in February. The vast majority were one way advertising accounts. I, I, I, I, etc. Very antisocial in a social media platform, no @'s, no responses. Kinda sad that many still don't get social media. It's not a place to be antisocial. The leaders of all 3 political parties twitter accounts are just one way ads, no interaction at at all. Guess lack of leadership flows from the top. I hope some of the candidates will talk about whether or not they'll support the 8 policy recommendations by the BC medical association's ADHD policy paper that was released in February http://bit.ly/cGVQi Adults and children with ADHD in BC have been ignored for too long. Hopefully some of them will start contacting their potential MLA's to see if they support the 8 recommendation or not and get a better answer than "we'll study it" which is usually politician speak for "we'll really ignore it but I'm afraid to tell you that until the election is over." thanks for the good links Rebecca
