Don’t Understand the B.C. Electoral Reform Options? This Video Explains

By Stacey McLachlan /

A five-minute explainer video for electoral reform? Yes, please.

If you’re still reeling from the intense research requirements of this weekend’s municipal election (reading the bios of 70-plus city councillor hopefuls isn’t for the faint of heart), you may well be too braindead to contemplate the B.C electoral reform referendum that’s coming to a mailbox near you this week. Luckily, Double Blind (a Vancouver-based trio of filmmakers regularly producing explainers on everything from science to politics) has distilled your options into a quickie video so you can decide where you stand with minimal effort and then go back to not thinking about politics for another four years (or however long until the next election… we’re tired, okay?!).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GffjXjodeOY
