Eighty per cent of members voted for the name change, B.C. Liberal leader Kevin Falcon said at a news conference Wednesday morning
. About 8,100 members, or 20 per cent of the membership, voted over the three-day process.“We will make sure we implement it when it makes sense for us,” said Falcon, adding one of the considerations is if or when the B.C. NDP will call an election, which could come prior to the fixed election date of Oct. 19, 2024.
“I have to be very careful about this,” said Falcon, “and we will be smart about when we make that decision.” The name, he said, reflects members being “united by values, united by a determination to focus on results and outcomes.” The party believes in a private-sector driven economy that generates revenues for government “so that we can fund first-class public health, education, and post-secondary services,” he said.

‘Just be sustainable’: Green Party renewal will require message of stability, prioritization of issuesFollowing a week of voting, the Greens will elect a new leader—or leaders—on Nov. 19 to take the reins of a party clawing its way back from the brink of extinction, and party members say conveying a message of stability and honing in on issues where it can make the most impact will be key. During the Nov. 9 English-language debate, leadership candidates debated how they would best unify the party over foreign policy issues like the conflict between Israel and Palestine, as well as Canada’s relationship with NATO, but interim leader Amita Kuttner told The Hill Times that whoever wins the election will be better served by focusing on issues where a small party can have the most impact. With only two sitting Members of Parliament, and going up against other parties in the House with a roster of well-resourced critics for specific files, Kuttner said the Greens need to focus what resources the party does have on directly serving constituents and potential voters. While Kuttner clarified that they believe the Green Party should have a consistent foreign policy—rooted in its core values of non-violence, anti-imperialism, and respect for universal human rights, self-determination, diversity, and social justice—they argued it can’t be an effective advocate for those things unless the leader can successfully grow the party first. “Until then, we’re going to be focusing on things that we can [advocate for], like the climate crisis,” Kuttner said, adding that a number of foreign policy issues are deeply rooted in that crisis as well. Annamie Paul officially resigned as Green Party leader just over one year ago, on Nov. 10, 2021, following her failure to get elected in Toronto Centre, Ont., and the party’s generally dismal showing in the 44th general election. The Greens won only 2.3 per cent of the popular vote in that election, down from 6.6 per cent in 2019. Paul, the first Black and Jewish woman to lead a federal party in Canadian history, subsequently turned in her membe
