Last December, Premiere Gordon Campbell appointed a Local Government Elections Task Force that is looking into a number of issues around municipal elections. One of the things they’re discussing is giving corporations the right to vote.
Governments in British Columbia have long been bought and paid for by corporations. I suppose it is only the next logical step to allow a corporation to actually cast a ballot. But why stop at municipal elections? Corporations could vote in any election! Hey, why not give them the right to run in elections too? Maybe one day McDonald’s will be Premiere! Imagine the cabinet… Minister of Forestry, Weyerhaeuser, and don’t forget the Right and Honourable Minister of Fisheries, High Liner!
What’s that? Some of you little peons on the loony left think it’s a bad idea to give corporations a ballot? Well maybe you should explain that to the Task Force:

You could also pass the message on to Gordon Campbell himself:
