@janesterk Heard many young college grads leaving BC 'cuz of lack of jobs. BC needs to be best place on earth to establish one's career too!

@surreytrnsplnt Unfortunately, not possible in parliamentary sys. We could reform the system to take power away from PM &premier #yourvote

by Jane Sterk via twitter 4/26/2013 2:54:13 AM
@tapferkeit Believe people need a say in decisions & don't favour costly megaprojects. Referendums are 1means but tend 2B divisive #yourvote

by Jane Sterk via twitter 4/26/2013 2:55:48 AM
@janesterk if not Referendums how would u have the ppl involved? & have a say what we want or dont want? now all we do is pay pay pay

by samadino via twitter 4/26/2013 2:57:28 AM
@janesterk do you think that it is unfair that we aren't getting any profit from the pipelines that run through B.C? #YourVote

by Matthew Armstrong via twitter 4/26/2013 2:57:33 AM
@janesterk ur saying there would be more transparency & less hidden agenda? accountability? no backroom deals we need Truth & Honesty

by samadino via twitter 4/26/2013 2:57:48 AM
@tapferkeit yep - that what we believe. Elect @BCGreens MLAs and we'll B watchdog, tell truth and bring ur ideas into leg #yourvote

by Jane Sterk via twitter 4/26/2013 2:57:57 AM
@matthew23749 That of course is not fair, how do you come to that conclusion? #yourvote

by Jane Sterk via twitter 4/26/2013 2:57:59 AM

by codias via twitter 4/26/2013 2:58:37 AM
@janesterk if not Referendums how would u have the ppl involved? & have a say what we want or dont want? now all we do is pay pay pay
