    Its only good news if they go through with any changes. More than likely any changes would mean the end of the Liberals in BC having such a huge majority government and more than likely would mean their defeat.

    So they will probably enact it after the next election thus ensuring themselves another kick at selling off BC, and they can still claim to have supported change. A win-win for them.

    Yeah this looks like a good start. If BC gets this system, it\'ll domino through the rest of the country just like Medicare & banning corporate & union donations.

    \"Domino through the rest of the country\"--Just like gay marriage, right? (sarcasm) But I\'ll give you the fact that it would make it more LIKELY in other provinces.

    Here\'s hoping...

    The BC Liberals are already on the way to losing their majority in the next election. They might decide that changing the system is in their own best interest. We can hope, anyway.
