  • In Nanaimo Byelection
    LATEST NEWS Where did Emma Fillipo go? Mom hopes new lead sheds light on 2012 disappearance Vancouver Island Party hopeful sees ‘sweet spot’ in Nanaimo byelection Carla Wilson / Times Colonist NOVEMBER 7, 2018 06:00 AM Robin Richardson Photograph By SUBMITTED The rst step in Robin Richardson’s plan to separate from B.C. and turn Vancouver Island into a province is to get himself elected in the upcoming Nanaimo byelection. Should the Vancouver Island Party candidate win the provincial seat, he promises to demand the NDP government hold a referendum in October 2019 asking if voters favour creating VanIsle as a province. And if a majority say “yes,” Richardson then wants the NDP to boost the number of Island ridings to 28 from 14. From there, he’s optimistic that an expected provincewide election in 2021 would give his party a majority, allowing it to begin negotiations with Ottawa. Richardson, 76, gures he’s found the “soft spot” in Nanaimo’s future byelection. He predicts that a Progressive Conservative candidate will take votes from the Liberals, and that the Greens will attract NDP votes. He expects to be able to pick up support from citizens who did not vote in the 2017 election. “I gure if I can get 9,000 votes, I can win,” he said. Current ve-term NDP MLA Leonard Krog won with 12,746 votes in 2017. Krog was sworn in Monday as Nanaimo’s new mayor and has said he will give up his legislature seat. A byelection has not yet been called. But Premier John Horgan said it would be held before February’s budget.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report January 7, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need to win Nanaimo to continue the government. It’s that simple.” Premier John Horgan nods to the significance of the upcoming by-election during NDP ​ ​ ​ ​ candidate Sheila Malcolmson’s campaign launch in Nanaimo Saturday. ​ ​ Today in B.C. On the schedule The House is adjourned for the winter break. MLAs are scheduled to return to the House on February 12 for the delivery of the government’s throne speech. Parties kick off Nanaimo by-election campaigns Former NDP MLA Leonard Krog, now mayor of Nanaimo, joined Premier John Horgan to ​ ​ ​ ​ launch former NDP MP Sheila Malcolmson’s bid for his former seat on Saturday. ​ ​ “This NDP government has done all the positive things the B.C. Liberals could have done if they wanted to,” Krog said at the event, professing confidence that his former party will retain the ​ ​ seat. “Nanaimo, apparently, it is the safest seat in the universe, but no seats are safe unless you work hard,” the premier said, acknowledging the significance of the upcoming campaign. The B.C. Liberals also launched candidate Tony Harris’ campaign on Saturday. Harris, a ​ ​ well-known local businessman, contends the riding has been considered a safe NDP seat for so long that the party has taken it for granted. “I’m confident that Hub City voters are ready for a new voice in Victoria — a local, homegrown voice that’s focused on big, bold ideas,” Harris said in a post on his campaign page, in which he ​ ​ also accused Malcolmson’s campaign of lacking “a single mention of any new ideas about how to make our city better.” On Sunday, the B.C.

  • Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2015
    Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2015 Developed in spring 2003, the Board Shareholder Confidence Index comprises factors often used by active shareholders to assess Boards of Directors*. While there are other variables not in our model that contribute to the effectiveness of Boards -- including elements that can only be observed from inside the boardroom -- we capture factors affecting shareholders’ confidence in the Boards’ abilities to fulfill their duties. These factors are different from the TSX Guidelines for effective corporate governance in that they take into account the shareholders’ perception of risk. Based on factors available to those outside the walls of the boardroom, we evaluate and rank Boards of Directors by their potential to act in an effective way and by their performance, as indicated by past practices. The score is developed using four linked steps. The result is a transparent, objective, and adaptable rating system that assigns companies listed on the S&P/TSX Composite Index a score out of 150. *Please see the BSCI 2015 Methodology for further details.
