  • David Eby’s apparent refusal to work towards a non-partisan Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform within a CARGA with the BC Green Party is deeply disappointing.

    In 2025, the all-party BC Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee travelled the province conducting public consultations, hearing presentations and considering almost 1000 submissions.

    Over 90% of individuals and 43/46 groups who participated with input on the electoral system were calling for progress on proportional representation.

    The committee came to a consensus recommendation for a non-partisan Peoples’ Assembly which would hear from experts and engage with British Columbians.

    A non-partisan Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform in BC, guided by the core principles* identified by the all-party committee, must be on the BC legislature’s agenda.

The company has been accused of matching worker donations to the Israel Defense Forces, which carried out what the United Nations determined was a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and to organizations involved in building illegal settlements in the occupied territories. The company has also operated research and development facilities in Israel for nearly a decade. According to a report from CTech, about 30% of Q.ai’s employees were drafted into IDF military service after Hamas carried out an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
