Bruce Cameron, a Black press columnist who91裸聊视频檚 been a pollster and a strategist for more than 35 years, working for Gallup, Decima and Angus Reid before founding his own consultancy, Return on Insight, discusses the results of the B.C. municipal elections.

91裸聊视频淭here are a lot of factors that go into turnout, it91裸聊视频檚 difficult to say exactly in some instances,91裸聊视频� Cameron told host Peter McCully. 91裸聊视频淭he turnout is expected to go up when you have a very hotly contested mayoralty race. In races that I91裸聊视频檝e worked on elsewhere in Alberta, in Edmonton and in Calgary, whenever there91裸聊视频檚 an open mayor91裸聊视频檚 seat, the turnout typically goes up, but there, the turnout rate for local elections is often around 30 per cent. Doesn91裸聊视频檛 even hit close to 40 per cent, which it has here.91裸聊视频�

Typically, homeowners tend to vote in higher proportions than renters, they pay property tax and they may have been there longer as well, because often people will rent when they91裸聊视频檙e first coming into a community.

Cameron was asked what was the solution to increasing the turnout for local elections.

91裸聊视频業 really think though that the longterm one that91裸聊视频檚 not as sexy but that may yield positive results is to raise the awareness of the role of local government on a consistent basis in the schools and in public campaigns,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭hat would be maybe a group like Civic Info B.C. that collate and analyze election results. Doing public service announcements about the difference between local governments, what local governments do, and how you can get involved.91裸聊视频�

A longtime Alberta and B.C. pollster and strategist, Cameron was asked about Alberta91裸聊视频檚 new leader and her route to the premier91裸聊视频檚 office.

91裸聊视频楾he problem that Danielle Smith has is that she ran so far to the right to gain the leadership position that it91裸聊视频檚 going to be tough to tack back to the middle, to actually be elected by the majority of Albertans. Even though Alberta91裸聊视频檚 reputation is a very far-right province, in Calgary and Edmonton, the politics are quite mixed.
