So I was thinking that a few of you probably read through all 10 of the resolution posts but most of you probably skimmed a couple and probably decided to wait for a summary. So, here’s a summary. Make sure that you read all of the governance and policy resolutions. Also for reference you should review the current constitution and Vision Green.

Submitted by Dave Bagler on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 13:41
Thankfully we have reached the end of the policy resolutions. Today is the final part: Intergovernmental Relations, oh joy. Gauging by the discussion page for each motion of all the sections this one seems to have captivated the least interest. As of this writing only one resolutions has any discussion at all. However this section is still very important. Here is a link to Vision Green for reference. Also if you haven't gone through yet take a minute to look over the previous resolutions:

Call for an Investigation
Submitted by Dave Bagler on Tue, 06/29/2010 - 08:24
I'm pro-police. I like police, I think they are necessary. I generally try to give them the benefit of the doubt when I hear complaints from protesters or other activists. The way I see it they are under a lot of stress in situations like these and often have to react with not nearly enough time to weigh their options or think of the consequences.

New EKOS polls is out (you can find the full report here) and has us sitting at 13% up a bit at one of our highest levels since EKOS introduced the other option. Taking margin of error into account its where we have been sitting for months. In fact (going by the weekly tracking graph in this report) we have been hovering above 10% since November of last year and we're working our way towards 20% in BC.
One in ten Canadians have consistently throughout 2010 selected the Green Party of Canada as their first choice even when given an true none of the above option with Other. This poll also pegged the GPC's second choice support at 11%.

BGM Resolutions Part 4: Leadership
Submitted by Dave Bagler on Thu, 06/24/2010 - 12:17
OK part four of five on Governance Resolutions. Today we tackle Leadership resolutions. This should be fun. Here's a link to our current constitution. I assume that these resolutions will be the most contentious at the BGM. We have an opportunity to help our party mature in to a more professional political organization of course we also have the option to shoot our selves in the foot.
