The British Columbia Marijuana Party (BCMP), the insurgent provincial electoral force greased with $150,000US of cannabis entrepreneur Marc Emery's profits and represented by a colorful cast of campaigners (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/180.html#bcparty), fell short of pre-election predictions, but managed to garner some 52,000 votes and score five third-place finishes in the province's 79 legislative assembly districts.

With this campaign, the party began a metamorphosis from a single-issue "legalize marijuana" party to a generally small-L libertarian party advocating an ideology of personal freedom and limited government.

 BCPolitics - BC News and Political Commentary
The 2001 Census confirms that the population of British Columbia is predominantly metropolitan, with 1,986,965 people (51% of BC's population) living in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area and 311,902 (8%) living in the Victoria CMA, and that the metropolitan population is increasing faster than the rest of the province.
It is asserted that with very few exceptions, the current hegemonic model which overly relies on large scale corporate investments, international trade and export-led development, is unsustainable both financially, socially and environmentally, and furthermore, has been woefully inadequate in providing either community stability or reliable good paying jobs to the majority of BC residents.
It is asserted that for British Columbia, the "co-op" or "co-operative model" of development, while is thusfar underutilized, is the best institutional vehicle to bring about such an economic model of development.

The Freedom Party of BC is currently seeking candidates in every riding in the province to run in the next provincial election.

To elaborate on this a bit, The Freedom Party supports caring for the pregnant woman through provision of comprehensive support services throughout the entire term of the pregnancy and until the child is successfully placed in a loving, nurturing environment through adoption services.

 In These Times 25/16 -- Granny B
While in prison, Krawczyk decided to run for legislature on the ticket of British Columbia's growing Green Party, eschewing both of the province's established political parties, the New Democrats and the Liberals.
The NDP, who identify themselves as allies of working people and the environment, were the ruling party going into the election--but had alienated a good portion of their traditional base of support through what many perceived as pro-corporate, anti-environment policies.
Despite the name, the Liberals are a party of passionate free- marketeers--more than one Green refers to them casually as "fascists"--who push tax cuts, logging and an anti-treaty agenda hostile to the First Nations, Canada's indigenous population.

 British Columbia Election - Democracy ill-served
Only in countries which use the British parliamentary system, or a copy thereof, is such a travesty of democratic principles possible.
