  • Responding to B.C.'S Illegal Drug Overdose Epidemic
    Responding to B.C.’s Illegal Drug Overdose Epidemic Progress Update June/July 2018 BACKGROUND Despite escalated efforts across the province, B.C. continues to see record numbers of illegal drug overdose deaths. Data from the BC Coroners Service reports 1,451 people died from a preventable overdose death in 2017 and a further 878 people have died in 2018 between January 1 and July 31, 2018. Synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, are increasingly being detected by drug checking services and in toxicology reports, demonstrating the issue of a contaminated, poisonous illegal drug supply. The overdose crisis reaches every corner of the province and has a disproportionate impact on males and First Nations people in British Columbia. Overdose Statistics in June and July 2018 In June 2018, 107 people died from an illegal drug overdose. Deaths in June represent a 15% decrease from June 2017 (123) and an 8% decrease from May 2018 (114). In July 2018, there were 134 illegal drug overdose deaths. This is a 12% increase from July 2017 (120) and a 25% increase from June 2018 (107) The majority (72%) of people who have died in 2018 were between the ages of 30 and 59; the vast majority (90%) of overdose deaths overall occurred among those aged 19 to 59. Males continued to be disproportionately represented, with 80% of all overdose deaths in 2018 occurring in men. The majority (88%) of overdose deaths in 2018 occurred indoors. This suggests the trend of people using drugs alone or in the presence of someone who is unwilling or unable to call 9-1-1 is continuing.

  • 2018 British Columbia Building Code Public Review of Proposed Changes
    2018 British Columbia Building Code Public Review of Proposed Changes PROPOSED CHANGE: Radon CHANGE NUMBER: 2018-BCBC-11-Radon CODE REFERENCE(S): 2015 National Building Code - Division A - Subsection 1.1.3., Division B - Subsection 9.13.4. RELATED CODE REFERENCE(S): Division B / Table C-3 in Appendix C DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: It is proposed to change the application of radon protection requirements to defer to the data established by the authority having jurisdiction and, in the absence of such data, to a revised table in the British Columbia Building Code (BCBC). PROBLEM/GENERAL BACKGROUND: The BCBC is based substantially on the model National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The NBC is updated about every five years and British Columbia adopts most of the NBC requirements into the next edition of the BCBC. However, the table of locations requiring radon rough-ins is unique to British Columbia. As such, the Province must update this table periodically. Health Canada guidelines for indoor radon concentration establish an annual average concentration of 200 Bq/m³. In locations where there is evidence of radon concentration in buildings exceeding the Health Canada guidelines, a means to address high radon concentrations in the future is required by the BCBC, should unacceptable indoor radon concentrations be found once the building is completed. 2018 PROPOSED BRITISH COLUMBIA CODE LANGUAGE (Deleted text / Added text): 1.1.3. CLIMATIC AND SEISMIC DESIGN DATA 1.1.3.1. Climatic and Seismic Values 1) <Except as required by Sentence 9.7.4.3.(2), the climatic and seismic values required for the design of buildings under this Code shall be in conformance with the values established by the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such data, with Sentence (2) and the climatic and seismic values in Appendix C.

  • Reflections on the Vote Together Campaign
    DEFEATING HARPER: REFLECTIONS ON THE VOTE TOGETHER CAMPAIGN DECEMBER 2015 Thank you to the thousands of Leadnow supporters who contributed their ideas, money, and time to design, fund, and power Vote Together. Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Introduction 6 The Vote Together Strategy 10 Outcomes 14 Lessons Learned 26 Conclusion and Next Steps 30 Appendices Appendix I: Campaign Overview 32 Appendix II: Riding-by-riding Reports 37 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is intended to provide a summary of the Vote Together campaign, its results, and lessons learned. We want to capture and publish reflections before the end of 2015, while the memories are still fresh and lessons are emerging, as a first step in a deeper process of analysis and reflection. In the 2011 federal election, a majority of people voted for a change in government, but because of vote splitting in our broken first-past-the-post electoral system, the incumbent Conservatives won 100 percent of the power with 39 percent of the vote. In the run up to the 2015 federal election, Leadnow supporters decided to launch the Vote Together campaign because of the unique threat posed by the Harper Conservatives to our democratic institutions. Progress on our community’s priorities - a strong democracy, a fair economy, and a clean environment - was impossible while they held power. On October 19th, 2015, a majority of people voted for change, and Harper was defeated when the Liberals won a majority of seats in parliament, with 39 percent of the popular vote. Despite everything Harper did to outrage Canadians during four years of majority rule, the Conservatives lost just 235,000 votes compared to their 2011 total.

  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters October Survey Results
    2019 Election: Seat Clusters October Survey Results October 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not votes. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating an unweighted total of 5,229 respondents and a weighted total of 4,500. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by riding. The deck to follow shows the output from the analysis. 3 Online Sample Methodology: October 2019 • This report combines the results of two online surveys conducted in October 2019. • In total, the dataset contains a representative sample of n= 4,500 Canadians, 18 years or older. Online samples for the Tracking survey of the surveys were provided by Lucid, while the Ad Testing survey sample was provided by Dynata, both leading providers of online samples.
