Policy points

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 talking 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.
