我对Ida Chong举双手赞成。有几人能在BC省政府做高级政务官。也算是华人之光。草民也去咨询过Ida一些事，基本上是有答复。我也挺感激她的。我自己给她呱唧几下。

如果仅仅因为她是华人就给她一票,那也在太庸俗了, ida应该多出来走走,到选区里来, 在办公室里面坐久了,和选民的距离自然远了

个人对ida没有异议, 投入公共服务快15年了, 不容易, 但是其的确不是很出彩, 说得不好听,太中庸了, 魅力不足,呵呵

With just four days to go before British Columbians cast their ballots in the provincial election, new data shows that Christy Clark’s Liberals are gaining ground on Adrian Dix’s NDP.
A Forum Poll for the National Post, which surveyed 1,147 B.C. adults, found that 43% of respondents said they will vote for the NDP, while 41% will vote for the Liberals — a gap that doesn’t exceed the poll’s margin of error.
The poll predicts eight per cent of the vote will go to the Green Party, six per cent to the Conservatives and two per cent to other parties.
The new results continue the Liberals’ upward polling momentum from last week, which saw the NDP in the lead with 39% of the votes and the Liberals catching up with 35%.
“Our tracking was the first to catch the shift from the NDP to the B.C. Liberals a week ago, and it appears the process has advanced further,” said Forum Research President Lorne Bozinoff.
“If this trend holds for another week, who knows? Canada could just possibly re-elect yet another incumbent provincial government.”
If the poll data holds up on election day, the Liberals could clinch a “razor-thin” majority, beating out the NDP by a single seat in the provincial legislature.
The poll projects that the current premier’s party would take 43 seats in the 85-seat house compared to 41 seats for the NDP. These results represent a shift from last week’s projections, which saw the NDP win 44 seats and the Liberals 39.
The poll results are based on responses from an interactive telephone survey conducted on May 8. Results are considered accurate +/-3%, 19 times out of 20.
