Adrian Genge: Adrian Genge moved page Policy talking points to Policy points: title update

The Victoria Regional Riding Association does not create policies, they rely on policies developed and communicated by the BC Greens. This page outlines the policy talking points that have been developed and shared by the BC Greens. The Victoria RRA uses these talking points to engage with voters. The policies are subject to change at any time, so before speaking with voters make sure that this page is up to date by checking when the last edit on this page was made (at the bottom of the page), or by confirming that the sources that are referenced at the bottom of the article are still active.

== Talking to voters about policy ==
''See also: [[Canvassing]]''

The BC Green party recommends that volunteers read the entirety of this page before speaking with voters. If policy questions get too high level, don’t be afraid to ask for contact info so a member of the team can follow up.

Volunteers should speak authentically about the values and policies that matter to them, and connect with voters by sharing each other’s “why”. The most important role of a volunteer is to listen—to understand what matters most to the voter. Volunteers will:

* Record what the voter shares about their priorities and concerns
* With the voter's consent, collect their contact information so the Candidate can personally follow up on the issues they care about.

== Affordability ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Tax mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy to fund an affordability agenda: affordable, social housing, publicly-run grocery stores, fast, free transit, and universal childcare.

=== Specific details ===

** Affordable, publicly owned housing
** Fast, free transit
** Universal childcare
** Publicly owned grocery stores
** Raise the social assistance and disability rates above the poverty line and stop the clawbacks.
|-
|Problem
|
* The 1%’s wealth hoarding is the reason we can’t afford gas, groceries, or rent.
* The BC NDP is captured by corporate interests and props up this rigged economy.
* The Conservatives want to give handouts to corporations and the 1% and cut the programs that make life more affordable for working people.
|-
|Value
|We live in one of the wealthiest provinces in one of the wealthiest nations in the world. We can afford to give everyone dignified lives.
|}

== Economy ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Take back our economy for working people by investing in projects like community-owned renewables and green tech, making it easier to join and form a union, and reducing reliance on American markets.

=== Specific details ===

** Fund a care economy that serves working families.
* Reduce dependence on unstable markets controlled by the US, like oil and gas, and end handouts to fossil fuel corporations.
* Give workers more power in their workplace by making unionization accessible and incentivizing worker co-ops.
|-
|Problem
|
* Mega-corporations hollow out communities and give little back.
* The BC NDP subsidizes dying industries at the behest of lobbyists instead of providing real alternatives.
* The Conservatives would rather let corporations steal BC’s wealth than give working people a better future.
|-
|Value
|Workers deserve an economy that puts them over the 1%.

== Housing ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Build affordable, publicly-owned homes, protect renters’ rights, and make it easier and quicker to get housing built.

=== Specific details ===
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Analytical framework

* Strengthen renter protections and introduce vacancy control.
* Crack down on corporate speculation.
* Make it easier and quicker to build homes with zoning and tax reform.

* The BC NDP are pretending the problem is fixing itself while defunding affordable housing initiatives.
* The Conservatives care more about investors making a profit than you ever owning a home
|-
|Value
|
* Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home.
|}

== Healthcare ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Put Community Health Centres in every region, put mental health under MSP, and stop privatization so no one falls through the cracks.

=== Specific details ===

|-
|Value
|
* Everyone should get care when they need it — not wait months or go broke.
|}

== Democracy ==

=== Quick policy point ===
End the winner-takes-all system. Make every vote count with proportional representation (10% of the vote = 10% of the seats).

=== Specific details ===
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Analytical framework

|-
|Frame
|

* The Conservatives want to throw open the doors of the legislature to the billionaire-class and mega-corporations.
|-
|Value

* The Legislature belongs to working people — our voice should matter.
|}

== Human Rights ==

Stand up for the vulnerable, like protecting trans youth and ending BC’s complicity in global human rights violations, not just when it’s easy.

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Analytical framework
!Policy point
|-
|Frame
|
* Politicians and the 1% want working people fighting amongst each other so they don’t look up at the people actually making life harder: the billionaire-class.
|-
|Solutions
|
* Stand up for vulnerable groups, not just when it’s easy.
* Stand firm in our values, like supporting trans youth and ending BC’s complicity in global human rights violations.
|-
|Problem
|
* The billionaire-class props up culture wars to avoid accountability.
* The BC NDP capitulates to Conservative culture wars at every turn.
* The Conservatives fuel the fire of hatred to avoid giving working people real solutions.
|-
|Value
|
* Our rights are intertwined — an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
|}

== Climate ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Protect our most valuable resources and build an economy based on long-term prosperity, not on resource markets that the US controls.

=== Specific details ===
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Analytical framework
!Policy point
|-

* Stop logging of old growth, and ensure our forestry sector can last long-term.
* Build a community-owned renewable grid and invest in good, green jobs.
* Protect local farms and watersheds for food and water security.
|-
|Problem
|
* Foreign fossil fuel corporations use our province as a profit extractor, and leave communities devastated when their resources dry up.
* The BC NDP says the right things, then backs foreign fossil fuel corporations with billions in public funding.
* The Conservatives pretend the problem doesn’t even exist.
|-
|Value
|
* A province where working people and our environment thrives.
|}

== Toxic Drug Crisis ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Support full treatment and wraparound care, and implement harm reduction — lead with compassion, not punishment.

=== Specific details ===
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Analytical framework
!Policy point
|-
|Frame
|
* This is BC’s deadliest public health crisis, we can’t keep doing the same things and hoping it will get better.
|-
|Solutions
|
* Invest in treatment and recovery that’s based on voluntary care, not punishment
* Expand harm reduction, with regulated alternatives and safe consumption sites.
* Build wraparound support, including housing, mental health, employment, and more.
|-
|Problem
|
* The BC NDP implemented half-measures then abandoned people who use drugs after Conservative pressure.
* The Conservatives push punishment and the failed war on drugs, which helps no one.
|-
|Value
|
* You can’t recover from addiction if you’re dead. We need to have basic support in place so people can start to get on their feet and recover.
|}

== Reconciliation ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Build a path of transparency and prosperity through legal reform, Indigenous-led investment, and shared environmental stewardship.

=== Specific details ===

|
* Legal reform and transparent negotiations with Indigenous nations to end the system of government-caused court battles.
* Indigenous-led housing, health, and economic development

* The Conservatives fearmonger about Indigenous rights, and are using them as a testing ground for repealing all of our rights.
|-
|Value

* When they come for the rights of Indigenous peoples, all of our rights are on the table. That’s why we need to work together.

Policy points

2026-07-28T18:30:40Z

Adrian Genge: Added specific details to policies.

The Victoria Regional Riding Association does not create policies, they rely on policies developed and communicated by the BC Greens. This page outlines the policy talking points that have been developed and shared by the BC Greens. The Victoria RRA uses these talking points to engage with voters. The policies are subject to change at any time, so before speaking with voters make sure that this page is up to date by checking when the last edit on this page was made (at the bottom of the page), or by confirming that the sources that are referenced at the bottom of the article are still active.

== Talking to voters about policy ==
''See also: [[Canvassing]]''

The BC Green party recommends that volunteers read the entirety of this page before speaking with voters. If policy questions get too high level, don’t be afraid to ask for contact info so a member of the team can follow up.

Volunteers should speak authentically about the values and policies that matter to them, and connect with voters by sharing each other’s “why”. The most important role of a volunteer is to listen—to understand what matters most to the voter. Volunteers will:

* Record what the voter shares about their priorities and concerns
* With the voter's consent, collect their contact information so the Candidate can personally follow up on the issues they care about.

== Affordability ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Tax mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy to fund an affordability agenda: affordable, social housing, publicly-run grocery stores, fast, free transit, and universal childcare.

=== Specific details ===
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"

!Analytical framework
!Policy point
|-
|Frame
|
* Life is getting less affordable while billionaires and mega-corporations get richer.
* We’re focused on fixing the root problem: a system that values wealth hoarding over everyday people.
|-
|Solutions
|
* Tax extreme wealth and reinvest in public services to deliver cost-of-living relief
** Affordable, publicly owned housing
** Fast, free transit
** Universal childcare
** Publicly owned grocery stores
** Raise the social assistance and disability rates above the poverty line and stop the clawbacks.
|-
|Problem
|
* The 1%’s wealth hoarding is the reason we can’t afford gas, groceries, or rent.
* The BC NDP is captured by corporate interests and props up this rigged economy.
* The Conservatives want to give handouts to corporations and the 1% and cut the programs that make life more affordable for working people.
|-
|Value
|We live in one of the wealthiest provinces in one of the wealthiest nations in the world. We can afford to give everyone dignified lives.
|}

== Economy ==

=== Quick policy point ===
Take back our economy for working people by investing in projects like community-owned renewables and green tech, making it easier to join and form a union, and reducing reliance on American markets.

* Reduce dependence on unstable markets controlled by the US, like oil and gas, and end handouts to fossil fuel corporations.
* Give workers more power in their workplace by making unionization accessible and incentivizing worker co-ops.
|-
|Problem
|
* Mega-corporations hollow out communities and give little back.
* The BC NDP subsidizes dying industries at the behest of lobbyists instead of providing real alternatives.
* The Conservatives would rather let corporations steal BC’s wealth than give working people a better future.
|-
|Value
|Workers deserve an economy that puts them over the 1%.

Mainstreeting

Adrian Genge: Created pagge, added initial content.

Mainstreeting is the practice of going to public places to meet potential green voters, collect contact information, and garner support.

== What to bring ==

* Attention-grabbing items can help attract people to come talk to you (i.e. bubbles)
* A large sign with a topical political question written on it in large sharpie font can help attract people to talk to you.
* Handouts like stickers and business cards can help make connections to people who might not be ready to sign up for anything.

Getting started

2026-06-18T19:15:40Z

Adrian Genge:

Welcome! This wiki is a community project run entirely by volunteers to provide information about organising for the BC Greens Victoria Regional Riding Association.

== Need help? ==

* Come talk to us in our [https://signal.group/#CjQKIK2zEq1HwrZDoyG-kuRl9RAAgEgP6z258Fp0C-8_bfWmEhAwnRItpg0BSZY93NKWdo59 Signal] chat!

== Advice for editors ==

=== Editing guide ===

* Check out the [[Editing guide]] for basic information on how to edit a page.

=== Don't be afraid ===
Clicking the 'Edit' button on a wiki page can be intimidating. You may feel like you do not have the best knowledge or expertise to edit a page or you may feel scared about making a mistake. This is normal! This wiki is edited by volunteers and we are all learning, making mistakes, and growing together. Mistakes can be fixed, pages can be deleted or moved, and lost information can be retrieved. If you are still unsure about making an edit, do it anyways!

=== Create a page ===
If you want to create a page that doesn't exist you can use the button below. For advanced information on creating pages, see the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Starting_a_new_page#Using_Wikilinks|MediaWiki 'Help' page]].

<inputbox>
type = create
width = 30px
break = no
placeholder = Page title
</inputbox>

=== Improve a page ===
Improving an existing page is a great way to learn about editing while helping the wiki. If you see that a page that needs improvement don't ask "why is nobody is making these edits?", you are the nobody.

* Pick a page that covers a topic you know about or are interested in.
* Check the [[Recent changes]] list to see what other pages volunteers are working
* Correct spelling and grammar in a page
* Add your experiences and knowledge about organising to help other volunteers
* Add a reference. If a page makes unsourced factual statements that don't seem like common knowledge, [[Style guide|look for a source]] and add it.

=== Style guide ===

* See the wiki's [[Style guide]] for advice on how to layout a page, use shared grammar, create a good reference, and more.

=== To-do list ===

* Check the wiki's [[To-do list]] if you want to help contribute to the wiki but are unsure with how to help.

== More about the wiki ==

* See a list of [[Recent changes]]
* Details [[BC Greens Victoria RRA Wiki:About|About the wiki]]

To-do list

2026-06-18T19:05:08Z

Adrian Genge: Created page

This page intends to keep an ongoing list of things that need to be done to improve this wiki.

== General to do list ==

* Ensure that the list of [[Events]] is kept up to date so that volunteers know what is going on in the community.
* Ensure that notes from [[Meetings]] or events are captured to ensure knowledge and learnings is shared with volunteers.
* Check that the Policies page accurately reflects what has been communicated by the BC Greens.
* Create content for pages that don't exist yet (i.e. red links).
* If you have permission to access the Google Drive, copy any content from the drive to help populate a new or existing wiki page.
* Check pages to ensure that no private information is shared on this wiki.

Adrian Genge:

Welcome! This wiki is a community project run entirely by volunteers to provide information about organising for the BC Greens Victoria Regional Riding Association.

== Need help? ==

* Come talk to us in our [https://signal.group/#CjQKIK2zEq1HwrZDoyG-kuRl9RAAgEgP6z258Fp0C-8_bfWmEhAwnRItpg0BSZY93NKWdo59 Signal] chat!

== Advice for editors ==

=== Don't be afraid ===
Clicking the 'Edit' button on a wiki page can be intimidating. You may feel like you do not have the best knowledge or expertise to edit a page or you may feel scared about making a mistake. This is normal! This wiki is edited by volunteers and we are all learning, making mistakes, and growing together. Mistakes can be fixed, pages can be deleted or moved, and lost information can be retrieved. If you are still unsure about making an edit, do it anyways!

=== Create a page ===
If you want to create a page that doesn't exist you can use the button below. For advanced information on creating pages, see the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Starting_a_new_page#Using_Wikilinks|MediaWiki 'Help' page]].

<inputbox>
type = create
width = 30px
break = no
placeholder = Page title
</inputbox>

=== Improve a page ===
Improving an existing page is a great way to learn about editing while helping the wiki. If you see that a page that needs improvement don't ask "why is nobody is making these edits?", you are the nobody.

* Pick a page that covers a topic you know about or are interested in.
* Check the [[Recent changes]] list to see what other pages volunteers are working
* Correct spelling and grammar in a page
* Add your experiences and knowledge about organising to help other volunteers
* Add a reference. If a page makes unsourced factual statements that don't seem like common knowledge, [[Style guide|look for a source]] and add it.

=== Style guide ===

* See the wiki's [[Style guide]] for advice on how to layout a page, use shared grammar, create a good reference, and more.

=== To-do list ===

* Check the wiki's [[To-do list]] if you want to help contribute to the wiki but are unsure with how to help.

Welcome to the wiki for the Victoria Regional Riding Association. This wiki was created because volunteers saw that there was missing knowledge between previous iterations of Victoria Regional Riding Association's, and wanted a place where we could share and collaborate on building a collective knowledge base.

== What is a wiki? ==

A wiki is a form of publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Anyone can contribute to this wiki by using the edit button to change each pages content.

== Why use a wiki? ==

A wiki is owned by no one, and maintained by everyone. This site is not restricted by billionaire-owned, corporate platforms and content can be edited, copied, and shared freely and transparently. Every time a volunteer documents a canvassing script, or an organiser writes up a meeting guide it is an act of collective ownership.

== Software used for this wiki ==

This wiki is powered using MediaWiki. MediaWiki is a software that is used by tens of thousands of websites and thousands of organisations including Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free, open, and time tested. It is an alternative to privately owned software from companies like Google or Microsoft, and therefore more aligned with the values of the Green Party of BC and it's campaign to "Fight the Oligarchs".

Welcome to the wiki for the Victoria Regional Riding Association. This wiki was created because members of the executive team felt that there was missing knowledge between previous iterations of Victoria Regional Riding Association's<ref>Discussed in the 2026-05-02 monthly Victoria RRA meeting. [[2026-05-02 Victoria RRA Monthly Meeting Notes]]</ref>, and we wanted a place where we could share and collaborate on building a collective knowledge base.

However, this wiki is currently just a test. If it does not accomplish our goal of sharing knowledge and organising for the BC Greens (and accomplishing the goals described in the [[Victoria Regional Riding Association Agreement 2026|Victoria RRA Agreement]]) then we will stop using it. Because this wiki is a test, '''don't be afraid to edit pages, provide feedback in our [[communication channels]], and ask questions.''' '''We are all learning together!'''

== What is a wiki? ==
A [[wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] is a form of publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Anyone can contribute to this wiki by using the edit button to change each pages content.

This wiki is powered using [[mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]. MediaWiki is a software that is used by tens of thousands of websites and thousands of organisations including Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free, open, and time tested. It is an alternative to privately owned software from companies like Google or Microsoft, and therefore more aligned with the values of the Green Party of BC and it's campaign to "Fight the Oligarchs".<ref>https://bcgreens.ca/fighttheoligarchs</ref>

=== How can this wiki can help achieve the Victoria RRA goals? ===
The [[Victoria Regional Riding Association Agreement 2026|Victoria RRA Agreement]] outlines a number of goals that we aim to pursue over the coming year. Below is a table that outlines these goals and describes how a wiki might help in the pursuit of some of these goals.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Goal outlined in the Victoria RRA Agreement
!How this wiki might help
|-
|Recruiting, Managing, and Engaging Volunteers
|We can direct volunteers to this wiki for information and training resources.
|-
|Fostering a Green Community
|Reading and editing pages on this wiki is a collaborative process. It can help folks feel more in tune with our RRA's collective effort to organise.
|-
|Community Outreach and Involvement
|If a volunteer wants to organise an event or reach out to new supporters, they can use this wiki to see what has happened before, who was involved and what resources were used.
|-
|Advocating on Topics of Local Importance
|Volunteers can add pages and information on topics that are important to them.
|}

== Reading this wiki ==

=== Searching ===
The quickest way to find information in this wiki is to look it up directly. On every page there is a '''search''' box.

Enter keywords and phrases and press ''Enter'' or ''Return'' or click the magnifying glass icon. If a page has the same title as what you entered, you jump straight to that page. Otherwise, it searches all pages on the wiki (with some restrictions), and presents a list of articles that matched your search terms, or a message informing you that no page has all the key words and phrases.

=== Navigation ===
Every page on this site not only has information to show you but also allows you to move to other pages. This is called "navigation". To help you navigate, every page has three main navigation elements:

# The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as recent changes or upload file. This site requires you to log in before seeing all of the sidebar options, however sign in is not required.
# Tabs which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page (we are currently not using the discussion pages), the version history, and – most notably – the edit link.
# User links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.

== Editing this wiki ==
When you edit a page on this wiki, the changes that you save will appear for everyone who uses the wiki. But, don't be afraid to edit! Pages can easily be reverted to previous versions, and mistakes can be fixed by other users.

To edit, simply navigate to the page that you wish to edit and click the 'edit" button which is found in the top right. Then, edit the content as needed. Once you are done, click "Save page" in the top right. The changes will appear for everyone who uses the wiki.

You currently do not need an account to use this wiki or edit it's pages.

== What next? ==
Check out some of the current pages and don't be afraid to contribute to them by editing content.

* [[Executive Board]]
* [[Communication channels]]
* [[Meetings]]
* [[Events]]

This wiki was created because members of the executive team felt that there was missing knowledge between previous iterations of Victoria Regional Riding Association's<ref>[[2026-05-02 Victoria RRA Monthly Meeting Notes]]</ref>, and we wanted a place where we could share and collaborate on building a collective knowledge base.

However, this wiki is currently just a test. If it does not accomplish our goal of sharing knowledge and organising for the BC Greens (and accomplishing the goals described in the [[Victoria Regional Riding Association Agreement 2026|Victoria RRA Agreement]]) then we will stop using it. Because this wiki is a test, '''don't be afraid to edit pages, provide feedback in our [[communication channels]], and ask questions.''' '''We are all learning together!'''

== What is a wiki? ==
A [[wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] is a form of publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Anyone can contribute to this wiki by using the edit button to change each pages content.

This wiki is powered using [[mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]. MediaWiki is a software that is used by tens of thousands of websites and thousands of organisations including Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free, open, and time tested. It is an alternative to privately owned software from companies like Google or Microsoft, and therefore more aligned with the values of the Green Party of BC and it's campaign to "Fight the Oligarchs".<ref>[https://bcgreens.ca/fighttheoligarchs/]</ref>

=== How can this wiki can help achieve the Victoria RRA goals? ===
The [[Victoria Regional Riding Association Agreement 2026|Victoria RRA Agreement]] outlines a number of goals that we aim to pursue over the coming year. Below is a table that outlines these goals and describes how a wiki might help in the pursuit of some of these goals.

== Reading this wiki ==

=== Searching ===
The quickest way to find information in this wiki is to look it up directly. On every page there is a '''search''' box.

Enter keywords and phrases and press ''Enter'' or ''Return'' or click the magnifying glass icon. If a page has the same title as what you entered, you jump straight to that page. Otherwise, it searches all pages on the wiki (with some restrictions), and presents a list of articles that matched your search terms, or a message informing you that no page has all the key words and phrases.

=== Navigation ===
Every page on this site not only has information to show you but also allows you to move to other pages. This is called "navigation". To help you navigate, every page has three main navigation elements:

# The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as recent changes or upload file. This site requires you to log in before seeing all of the sidebar options, however sign in is not required.
# Tabs which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page (we are currently not using the discussion pages), the version history, and – most notably – the edit link.
# User links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.

== Editing this wiki ==
When you edit a page on this wiki, the changes that you save will appear for everyone who uses the wiki. But, don't be afraid to edit! Pages can easily be reverted to previous versions, and mistakes can be fixed by other users.

To edit, simply navigate to the page that you wish to edit and click the 'edit" button which is found in the top right. Then, edit the content as needed. Once you are done, click "Save page" in the top right. The changes will appear for everyone who uses the wiki.

You currently do not need an account to use this wiki or edit it's pages.

== What next? ==
