Bruce Cameron, a Black press columnist who香蕉视频直播檚 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.

香蕉视频直播淭here are a lot of factors that go into turnout, it香蕉视频直播檚 difficult to say exactly in some instances,香蕉视频直播� Cameron told host Peter McCully. 香蕉视频直播淭he turnout is expected to go up when you have a very hotly contested mayoralty race. In races that I香蕉视频直播檝e worked on elsewhere in Alberta, in Edmonton and in Calgary, whenever there香蕉视频直播檚 an open mayor香蕉视频直播檚 seat, the turnout typically goes up, but there, the turnout rate for local elections is often around 30 per cent. Doesn香蕉视频直播檛 even hit close to 40 per cent, which it has here.香蕉视频直播�

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 they香蕉视频直播檙e first coming into a community.

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

香蕉视频直播業 really think though that the longterm one that香蕉视频直播檚 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,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淭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.香蕉视频直播�

A longtime Alberta and B.C. pollster and strategist, Cameron was asked about Alberta香蕉视频直播檚 new leader and her route to the premier香蕉视频直播檚 office.

香蕉视频直播楾he problem that Danielle Smith has is that she ran so far to the right to gain the leadership position that it香蕉视频直播檚 going to be tough to tack back to the middle, to actually be elected by the majority of Albertans. Even though Alberta香蕉视频直播檚 reputation is a very far-right province, in Calgary and Edmonton, the politics are quite mixed.
