		This account of the BC political system’s response to issues raised by the forest environment movement might be likened to a description of developments and interactions within an ecosystem.
		British Columbia will continue to be buffeted by global forces, most of which can be only partially blunted or diverted by government policy.
		Because most British Columbians seem disinclined to accept the responsibilities and rights attending their ownership of the resource, and because the provincial governments that serve as the resource owner’s agent continue to be pressured by those who most directly benefit from exploitation of the resource, the landlord’s perspective is still only weakly articulated.

	Globalization, Professionalization, and Educational Politics in British Columbia
		The teacher professionalism that developed in British Columbia during the past 25 years was, in part, a consequence of an ideological struggle between a teachers organization animated by the spirit of social reconstruction through education and a government animated by the spirit of unfettered individualism and entrepreneurial capitalism.
		the purpose of the British Columbia school system is to enable learners to develop their individual potential and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to contribute to a healthy society and a prosperous and sustainable economy.
		The Deputy Minister of Education recently requested that the British Columbia College of Teachers share its perspective with her concerning the implementation of the Labour Mobility Chapter of the National Agreement on Internal Trade as it applies to teachers.

		This topic is curiously understudied, given the perception — widely held Canada — that British Columbia politics is dramatic, unusual, and at times just plain "weird." Political scientists have explored a number of aspects of BC political life over the last half century, often by analyzing election results.
		Excellent biographies of two of British Columbia’s most important premiers, Thomas Duff Pattullo [1934-41] and WAC Bennett [1952-72], stand out as significant additions to a sparse literature that has grown little since the publication in the early 1970s of Martin Robin’s widely-read but controversial overview of BC politics, The Company Province.
		It will focus on the political response of ordinary people to the changing character of modernity, for, like all modernizing societies, British Columbia underwent substantial change from the 1870s to the 1970s as economic production became more concentrated and organizational life in business, government, and social realms became larger, more complex, and more bureaucratic.

		He argues that the forest environment movement inaugurated an era of redistributive politics in Brisih Columbia in an economy still heavily dependent on forest revenues.
		This is political science at its best: analysis of institutions and movements, an dof their political contests over control of both the resources and the economic agenda.
		This well-written and intelligent study is worth reading by those interested in the nexus between natural resource issues and politics, whether in British Columbia or elsewhere, and also for those interested more generally in how political networks and movements negotiate the issues of the day.

		In 1866, Vancouver Island and British Columbia were merged, and in 1871 the united British Columbia, lured by promises of financial aid and the building of a transcontinental railroad that would link it to the rest of Canada, voted to join the new Canadian confederation.

	Sex Party (British Columbia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sex Party is political party based in British Columbia, Canada, that contests provincial elections to promote libertarian and sex-positive attitudes towards sexual education, indecency laws and prostitution.
		Its leader is John Ince, a lawyer, longtime sexual politics activist, and owner of The Art of Loving, an "upscale erotic store."
		The party nominated three candidates in the May 17th, 2005 provincial election, none of whom were elected:

		The Trail Smelter case, the controversies involving the Skagit and Flathead rivers and the Windy Craggy mine, and the ongoing Pacific Salmon dispute are prominent examples of the divergence of opinion on resource issues in the province.
		Political scientist Jeremy Wilson's Talk and Log: Wilderness Politics in British Columbia,1965-1986 is a timely contribution which aids our understand of environmental issues in the arena of provincial politics.
		For example, he does little to connect the British Columbia chronicle to that of other regions where environmentalists were pursuing similar goals.

	Vote No to BC-STV
		In 1991 over 80% of British Columbians voted in favour of adopting initiative and recall, features that are part of politics in California but are foreign to parliamentary democracies.
		If British Columbians vote yes to STV on May 17th, they might be in for some big surprises after the election.
		Some provisions in the Irish Election are similar to what is found in the BC Election Act, provisions for registering voters, what to do if a candidate dies, and provisions for establishing polling districts are common in many election laws.

		Why is a British Columbia civil servant taking a public position to strip grizzly bears in the US of their protections under the Endangered Species Act?
		It is highly inappropriate, but somehow not unexpected given their track record, for the ministry to publicly support the political maneuver by the Bush administration to de-list grizzly bears in the lower 48 from the US Endangered Species Act.
		This is clearly beyond the purview of provincial civil servants and once again reveals the biased political motivations of the bureaucrats in the BC government who are ostensibly in charge of managing grizzly bears.

	BC Alternative = Crash and Burn
		Now, in a province that has produced Wild Bill Vander Zalm and the power-tripping Glen Clark as Premiers, complete with their accompanying scandals and subsequent court cases, the residents are again vigorously shaking their heads over the kooky BC Alternative adventure that lasted all of a month.
		Delaney said he had staked his tenuous credibility and the future of his party on the proposed merger, and the cockeyed decision of the Conservative board left no room to pull the parties together in time for a planned BC Alternative conference at the end of the month.
		In keeping with the bizarre nature of politics on the Wet Coast, and just to add to the intrigue and/or stupidity of this whole affair, the question of skullduggery and conspiracy on the part of the Liberals was raised, too.

		There are many facets to the debate, but one of the keys is whether ward elections should be seen as encouraging narrow neighbourhood interests at the expense of the city as a whole, or whether they should be seen as encouraging the representation of diverse interests which get submerged in city-wide elections.
		So far as local politics is concerned, in practice this is often a debate about how much influence the property industry has, as opposed to groups favouring"quality of life" concerns or social reforms.

		In addition, we plan to have news, interviews and stimulating commentary on the BC political scene, Canadian politics, and special political pages devoted to such matters as Labor, First Nations, Women and the Environment.
