ENG:
The New Democratic Party of British Columbia (BC NDP) is a political party in British Columbia, Canada that has democratic socialist roots. The policies it advances today resemble those of social democrats.
It is the provincial arm of the New Democratic Party of Canada. Unlike other parties in Canada, where provincial and federal politics are strictly separated and members of one are not necessarily members of the other, NDP members are members of both the federal party and the provincial party. However, a significant number of left-leaning federal Liberals are members of the provincial NDP.
Leader: Adrian Dix
Founded: 1933
Ideology: Progressivism, Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism

Dix clinches leadership of BC NDP
B.C. New Democrats have selected Adrian Dix as their new leader, embracing his agenda to reach out to disaffected voters as the key to defeating Liberal Premier Christy Clark in a provincial election that could come as early as this fall. The second-term MLA and onetime chief of staff under former NDP premier Glen Clark mapped out an agenda to raise taxes on banks and big corporations to finance social programs – an approach he said will sharply define the party from its Liberal rivals. He narrowly defeated Mike Farnworth, who had offered a more centrist vision for leadership, with ...

BC NDP Rejects Ignatieff's Call
The British Columbia New Democrats are rejecting federal Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff call for B.C. politicians to ask Prime Minister Stephen Harper questions about national issues during his historic visit to the legislature.

The Legislative Assembly in Victoria had been prorogued itself until the throne speech two days ...

Statement from B.C. New Democrat Leader Adrian Dix on Dave Barrett Receiving the Order of B.C. VANCOUVER – B.C. New Democrat leader Adrian Dix issued the following statement on Dave Barrett receiving the Order of B.C.: “Dave Barrett’s years as Premier of B.C. were, without doubt, three of the most significant years in our history. "His legacy, accomplished in such a short time, is without parallel: the Agricultural Land Reserve, I.C.B.C., Pharmacare, student loans and income for seniors—to name just a few. “Dave was B.C.’s Tommy Douglas – a pioneer and an inspiration for all who strive for a fairer, more just society. “I was lucky enough to work with Dave in Ottawa when he was an MP. Dave Barrett was—and will always remain—a friend, a mentor and a hero to me. “I also want to pay tribute to every other recipient, including Kim Campbell, all of whom served our province and communities with such distinction.” |
NDP Urges Quick Action on Coroner’s Jury Recommendations on Farmworker Deaths VICTORIA - New Democrats have called on the provincial government to honour the victims and families of the 2008 Langley mushroom farm tragedy by fully implementing the 15 recommendations issued by the provincial Coroner’s jury on May 16. "These families, whose courage and generosity have inspired myself and others - were the driving force behind the coroner's inquest. Despite some government reluctance, they pressed for an inquest and remained determined that no other workers and their kin suffer from this kind of terrible loss,” said New Democrat leader Adrian Dix. "We stand with the families who have clearly said the findings of the inquest need to be applied in a systematic and timely fashion if they are going to have a real and lasting impact,” said Dix. New Democrat labour critic Raj Chouhan raised the issue in the B.C. legislature today, calling on Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid to accept all 15 recommendations and ensure that they are fully implemented.

New Democrats Question Cuts to TransLink’s TaxiSaver Program VICTORIA – New Democrats took the Liberal government to task on the decision by TransLink to cut the TaxiSaver program in Metro Vancouver which will affect seniors and people with disabilities who rely on the service for essential transportation needs. The TaxiSaver program allows registered HandyDART users to obtain coupons which provide them a 50% discount on taxis. New Democrat transportation critic Harry Bains raised the issue in the B.C. legislature this week in response to TransLink’s announcement that it will phase out its TaxiSaver program, which has been in place for more than 20 years. “The TaxiSaver program and the HandyDART service allow people with disabilities to get around. Even before this announcement, people with disabilities and advocacy groups were on record saying they were experiencing long waits for rides to things like attending medical appointments and fulfilling their daily needs.” Bains said government must advocate to protect the TaxiSaver program, |
B.C. Hydro Losing $180 Million to Private Power Contracts this Spring VICTORIA – B.C. Liberal energy policies that forced B.C. Hydro to sign lucrative contracts with private-sector power producers will result in losses of $180 million during the spring melt season, says New Democrat energy critic John Horgan.Horgan highlighted a submission from B.C. Hydro to the B.C. Utilities Commission outlining the cost of independent power production compared to the value of the electricity on the open market.“These documents lay out in black and white what the opposition and others concerned with the Liberals’ private power agenda have been saying for years. The contracts the Liberals sought with IPPs are expensive, unnecessary, and outrageous,” said Horgan.The document shows B.C. Hydro will purchase 802 GWh in April 2012, 1,018 GWh in May, and 1,087 GWh in June from IPPs at an average cost of about $68/MWh. During the same three-month period, the average price to purchase power on the open market is approximately $10.“We’re buying at $68 when the el |
