Which party are you voting for this coming election?
Mike - you should have added 'not voting' as one of the options!

Or at least an "undecided"!

I've added the not voting option. I left undecided out as eventually the undecided vote should fall within remaining options.
Probably a good choice, otherwise we might have a boring poll with 80% 'undecided'.

Campbell made a comment to James (not Sterk) that was taken the wrong way. The Globe and Mail ran an article this morning quoting Campbell's ex public speaking assistant and she said Campbell could sometimes sound condescending but his tone was no different towards men. In other words, according to his assistant, if it had been a man Campbell was speaking to, nobody would have raised an eyebrow.

Were there a viable right-wing party, I would vote for them but until that happens i'll be voting for the Liberals. This tiny poll really doesn't bode well for the NDP, which I am glad to see. I'm also glad to see the left haven't learned anything from the last election.

I think it just shows that this site is full of Liberal supporters. I don't think it's a true reflection.
I take it that the poll is not going the way you hoped? Therefore you draw this conclusion?

Looking at the support for the Conservatives, this site is sorely lacking in anyone on the right side of the spectrum.
People on the left may want to refer to Campbell as right wing, but his politics are in lock step with the federal Liberals and very, very centrist.

Did I say that?I take it that the poll is not going the way you hoped?
I make the conclusion because I know for a fact that there are proportionately a LOT more NDP supporters on Southern Vancouver Island than represented in this poll.

A vote for the Liberals destroys our province.
A vote for the NDP bankrupts our province.
A vote for the Green saves our Province.

The worst thing they have done is continue our horrific logging practices and privatizing our rivers.
Throughout the 1990's it was the NDP that promoted run-of-river projects and cut taxes to lure private investment dollars. The Liberals are now being chastised by the NDP for following in the NDP's footsteps.
As for logging, the NDP have no immediate plans to ban raw log exports and their policies on logging throughout the 1990's were no better than the Liberals'.

BC has had private water rights since 1858, most of the applications for water rights each year in the last few years has been for other uses other than private power production.
IPPs in BC have a lower environmental footprint than logging, mining and tourism. In fact most of the projects have such a small footprint that there is no measurable impact on the environment.
We have had private power production in BC since the start of electrical power. The Kootenies have a private for profit utility.
Meanwhile the US needs to replace 2 000 000 GwH of coal fired power. BC run of the river is one of the few sources out there to replace the coal power.
As to log exports, BC exports very few logs and in most years has imported more logs than it has exported. If all the raw logs were no longer exported, the amount of timber would be enough to fill the needs of about five modern sawmills and employ about 1000 people.
If exports were to end, the price the loggers get for a log will drop 20-30%. The province will lose about $75 000 000 in stumpage. Many of the loggers will not be able to harvest the trees because the price they get will less than the cost to harvest the trees. Low log prices would put about 3000 people out of work and not provide any mill jobs.
