Dear Paov,
Thanks to you and tens of thousands of others, the BC government cut unfair MSP fees by 50% on January 1st and committed to getting rid of MSP fees altogether within four years.
Now we have just 9 days left to make sure that revenue is replaced in a truly fair way —and to make sure the fees are axed altogether in next year’s budget, not four years down the road.A government-appointed MSP Task Force is seeking public input on how to replace revenues from the MSP fee cut. [1]
That means we have a huge opportunity

Site C Summit: Accountability & Action1 pm, Friday, January 26 and 9 am, Saturday, Jan 27.First Met Victoria, 932 Balmoral Road, Victoria, V8T 1A8
On December 11, 2017, Premier Horgan announced his decision to continue the Site C hydro-electric dam project on the Peace River.Because of this decision, viewed by many thoughtful people as a major mistake impacting future generations of British Columbians, the Peace Valley Solidarity Initiative came together to organize the Site C Summit. This is a non-partisan, grass-roots initiative.
The Site C Summit will review the rationale and the consultation/decision-making processes that led to the decision.This will be followed by community action planning which will point us in new directions, in solidarity with First Nations.
All who oppose the Site C dam project are welcome...
