Season 8 of The View Up Here kicks off with a British Columbia Roundup with two returning guests - Grant G of The Straight Goods http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/ and Bob Mackin of The Breaker http://thebreaker.news/ The Sad - We offer tribute to two of BC's most loyal citizens that have recently passed away. Merv Adey described himself as just another citizen but his work holding government and corporate media to account made that claim rather humble. A two time guest, he began the BC Series on TVUH. Rafe Mair is regarded as a legend having left his mark in government, radio, environmental awareness, written content and mentorship. Both will be missed going forward and we shall thank them for their work The Crazy - As more facts about Site C come out, the less sense the project makes. Missed milestones, shoddy contracting, bankruptcies, budget overruns, environmental disregard, false statements and governmental interference exposed. Can this monstrosity still proceed? The New - Campaign Finance Reform sounds like two different issues depending on who is speaking. Throw in a referendum on Proportional Representation and let the fireworks commence. The Drab - The BC Liberal leadership race is proving to be Shakespearean from day one. Eight candidates, now seven, are doing their best to speak of change while demonstrating none whatsoever. At least they all agree there is nothing liberal about the party. This is progress? The Fab - Marijuana legalization is coming. Provincial plans across the country on distribution, retail sales and regulation have varied a great deal. Some praised, some acceptable, some decried. Nowhere will this be more difficult than in BC. What's the plan?

As this episode airs, there are six days to go before British Columbia decides on the composition of their next Legislative Assembly. There is no shortage of reaction, insights, comparisons, polling, messaging appearing positive but mostly negative, and any other angle that may draw attention. And this is what the modern electoral cycle has become. Attention is the commodity that matters the most. Not issues. Not history. Not platforms. Electioneering is indeed an industry in the 21st century with an ever expanding multitude of ways for campaign money to be spent. It is fertile ground for research, demographic data collection, focus group messaging, But as this "science" evolves, so do the demands for accuracy relative to funds spent. There's the rub. EKOS Research Associates, Mainstreet Research, Forum Research, Ipsos, Insights West and many others are immersed in this always evolving industry. As things roll on, it's not just about selling their services to potential clients. It's about their own image, credibility and delivering value on their work. When the story about pollsters getting predictions wrong is as big as the actual results, you know we have entered a new era. When the BC Series kicked off on The View Up Here, it started by talking about corporate media's influence over smaller, independent sources that weren't reliant on advertising revenue or subservient to ownership pushing their preferred political viewpoints. This show has done its best to give those independents a venue hitting topics from a different perspective. We come full circle to look at how politics are now changed forever. Returning guests Grant G of the Powell River Pursuader and campaign/media/opinion veteran Bill Tieleman join once more, and Bob Mackin of The Breaker News guests to break it all down. #packyourshitChristy
