Chad_Moats@pqpolitics Spread over 4-6 weeks. Maximize coverage,suspense and public awareness. #bcpoli @tRPShow- pqpolitics@Chad_Moats yes that would make it interesting vs 1 guy dumps in 5,000 ballots staples them on site & its all over. #bcpoli @tRPShow
- pqpolitics@Chad_Moats also doing it over 4-6 weeks before convention would get candidates competing harder less vanilla trite pablum #bcpoli @tRPShow
- pqpolitics@Chad_Moats You'd really test leadership candidates if run like that over time. Think dix would've won w/ that system? #bcpoli @tRPShow
- pqpolitics@Chad_Moats big benefit to bcndp or bcliberals doing that is you'd get winner more practice in debates & media scrums #bcpoli @tRPShow
- pqpolitics@Chad_Moats to make it interesting, make it mandatory the all candidates have so many open media scrums MUST attend #bcpoli @tRPShow

MervAdey@wiedzmin Is that what you say to the BCMA? #bcpoli
symphilyWell, @wiedzmin, I guess that depends on whether you - or the demos - prioritize the outcomes of teachers' work. [ #BCpoli ]- symphilyThat is, @wiedzmin, certain effects follow from teaching w/ and w/o security of a contract. [ #BCpoli ]
- symphilyWhen teachers aren't working under security of contract, @wiedzmin, relationships between actors become coercive, conflicted. [ #BCpoli ]
- symphilyThis has micro effects in classrooms, @wiedzmin, but it extends to the policy making arena, too. Think it improves outcomes? [ #BCpoli ]

liberalAdam Goldenberg@tomhawthorn @nspector4 @Dleebosh @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl Before Ms. Clark, when last did a major B.C. party elect a leader without a seat?
tomhawthorn@adamgoldenberg @nspector4 @Dleebosh @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl John Oliver in 1924.- tomhawthorn@adamgoldenberg @nspector4 @Dleebosh @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl Gordon Campbell (Liberals) in 1994 by-elex. All parties contested.
- tomhawthorn@adamgoldenberg @nspector4 @Dleebosh @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl Grace McCarthy (Socreds) in 1994. All parties contested. Liberals defeated her
Dleebosh@adamgoldenberg @tomhawthorn @nspector4 @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl Carol James had no seat when she became NDP leader in 2003,- Dleebosh@adamgoldenberg @tomhawthorn @nspector4 @ASheldonTO @EthanCoxMtl Harcourt had no seat in 1990

bcgreenJodie EmeryA man drove 3 hours to the #TYExpo just to hear me speak & was sad I'm not scheduled. Lots of folks said similar, but at least I'm here!
chickeee@JodieEmery maybe you can meet them somewhere - they can see your tweets
VaporCentral@JodieEmery http://t.co/2VBGtklnMB #FreeMarcEmery

- liberalAdam Goldenberg@EthanCoxMtl @Dleebosh I'm speaking simply of strategy. Running against the Premier—who's just won a majority—will seem petty and wasteful.
EthanCoxMtl@adamgoldenberg @Dleebosh No, it's what people expect in case of a by -election. To do otherwise would be unprecedented. Are you worried? :P- Dleebosh@adamgoldenberg @EthanCoxMtl If she didn't want to "waste money" on a byelection, she should have picked a safer seat in the first place.
- Dleebosh@adamgoldenberg @EthanCoxMtl I cannot think of ANY example in Canadian history where a defeated leader got a free ride in a byelection
- EthanCoxMtl@adamgoldenberg @Dleebosh And how exactly would a by-election be any cheaper for the province, as opposed to Libs, w/out an NDP candidate?

davedotcaI have not seen such poor defense of position from @bctf since #Habs bounced from playoffs. #bcpoli
bctf.@davedotca Had Clark let BCSPEA/BCTF meet in person as scheduled for Tuesday and kept letters from media, controversy averted. #bcpoli- MervAdey@davedotca @bctf When I negotiate with my employer there's a reason we do it in a private, quiet space. No excuse for media release #bcpoli
LJNor@davedotca @bctf bad analogy Dave but maybe in your "defence" ignorance is bliss #bcpoli- MervAdey@davedotca @bctf CC's leak to Vanc Sun deplorable political grandstanding and nothing more. #bcpoli

StrategicThghts@pqpolitics Probably b/c everyone was taken in by the polls & accepted ragging the puck rather than maximizing #bcndp votes. #bcpoli #20- pqpolitics@StrategicThghts but was obvious christy clark was a great retail politician & dix was a weak retail politician NOT a state secret #bcpo
- pqpolitics@StrategicThghts and if Adrian wasn't so arrogant he'd have done proper polling of swing seat ridings like bcliberals. #bcpoli #bcndp
- pqpolitics@StrategicThghts ALL politicians have some strengths & weakness. Was negligence on #bcndp party brass not to shore dix's up #bcpoli
- pqpolitics@StrategicThghts Or maybe #bcndp brass did tell adrian dix to practice his campaigning skills & body lang & was too arrogant to do #

MommaYomma@CaptainSuburb Issue is about bringing stability & services into system. Not about money, like it is for BCTF #bced #bcpoli @KyleLudeman- symphilyDon't be ridiculous, @MommaYomma. It's not about $$ for BCTF. It's about meeting need. {cc. @CaptainSuburb @KyleLudeman // #BCed #BCpoli }
- symphilyMeeting the need of kids requires spec ed teachers, @MommaYomma, BCLibs cut that. {cc. @CaptainSuburb @KyleLudeman // #BCed #BCpoli }
- symphilyMeeting the needs of kids requires attention to class composition, @MommaYomma. BCLibs /illegally conspired to cut that/. [ #BCed #BCpoli ]
- symphilySo please, @MommaYomma, don't take us all as fools and for the love of all that is holy stop "crusading." [ #BCed #BCpoli ]

Freedomzone_@AJWVictoriaBC @matvic Implying that Aussie gvt will subsidize booming #lng industry r false. Ur links prove zero. Gvt makes $ from #LNG- Freedomzone_@AJWVictoriaBC @matvic Free markets will determine LNG production & pricing. Gvt tarifs & changing regulations cause distortions.
- Freedomzone_@AJWVictoriaBC @matvic Aussie Natural Gas industry pays BILLIONS in taxes to gvt. http://t.co/ldYRecmMuk #lng Cash Cow. #bcpoli #kitimat
BenthosGirl@AJWVictoriaBC @Freedomzone_ R U saying because an industry pays billions in taxes it should be exempt from govt oversight?
