The results are finally in. Christy Clark has lost her majority, and parties are negotiating right now to decide who will form government.
If we flood social media with support for cooperation between the NDP and the Greens, we can convince them to work together. Will you take a Cooperate for BC selfie now?
What a nail biter! It was down to the the wire, but after two days of counting absentee ballots, final results confirm that Christy Clark and the BC Liberals have lost their majority government. [1]
Now the BC NDP and the BC Greens have a historic opportunity to work together for progress on key issues from fixing our broken voting system, and stopping the Kinder Morgan pipeline, to putting the brakes on Site C, and getting big money out of our politics. We’ve never been closer to victory on these issues, but we need the Greens and NDP to work together.

Addameer's attorney Farah Bayadsi visited hunger-striking political leader and Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Ahmad Sa'adat today, 14 May 2017, in Ohli Kedar prison. Addameer's attorney was previously denied visitation, but received approval following a High Court petition submitted on 10 May 2017. Since the beginning of the strike, 17 April 2017, Addameer requested several visits from Israeli Prison Service (IPS) to visit hunger-striking prisoners and detainees, but the IPS either did not respond or rejected the requests.
Mr. Sa'adat joined the hunger strike, along with several significant Palestinian political leaders on 3 May 2017 including, Nael Barghouthi, Hassan Salameh, Ahed Abu Ghoulmeh, Abbas al-Sayed, Ziad Bseiso, Basem al-Khandakji, Mohammed al-Malah, Tamim Salem,...
