With a referendum on Proportional Representation looming, BC will decide whether or not to move to a new way of electing our provincial government — or stick with our current First Past the Post system.

Our first ever guest is Maria Dobrinskaya, BC Director of the Broadbent Institute. Maria shares why she is advocating for BC residents to vote ‘Yes’ to PR when they mail in their ballots this month. She is interviewed by your host, Am Johal, the director of ԰AV’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement.

Inform your vote with some supplemental reading, , from the Broadbent Institute.

Listen to , a fast-faced political podcast by Maria Dobrinskaya and Lesli Boldt.
