British Columbia, also commonly referred to by its initials BC, is a province located on the west coast of Canada. British Columbia is also a component of the Pacific Northwest and the Cascadia bioregion, along with the US states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Alaska The province's name was chosen in 1858 by members of the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1871, it became the sixth province of Canada. Its Latin motto is Splendor sine occasu ("Splendour without Diminishment").
British Columbia wine is Canadian wine produced in the province of British Columbia. Wines made from 100 percent British Columbia grapes can qualify for classification under one of British Columbia's two classification systems, depending on the varietal, the wine-making techniques employed, and various other restrictions.
Originally, the British Columbia Wine Institute handled regulation and marketing of the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA), which is also an appellation system. More recently, the British Columbia Wine Authority was formed by the provincial government to regulate part of the industry. It created a second classification, "Wines of Distinction", to be also from 100 percent British Columbia grapes, but with less stringent quality control. In practice, it has strengthened the VQA classification.
British Columbia is gaining recognition for its world-class premium VQA wines. Wines which are neither labelled VQA or Wine of Distinction, and from certain producers (given special rights under the 1988 Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement), can use foreign bulk wine to produce a third category of wine which is labelled as Cellared in Canada. Significant parts of the wine industry, and respected wine writers in Canada and abroad, are quite concerned about this practice.
British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles) v British Columbia (Council of Human Rights)
British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles) v British Columbia (Council of Human Rights), [1999] 3 S.C.R. 868, known as the Grismer Estate case, is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on human rights law. The Court held that the British Columbia Superintendent of Motor Vehicles was in violation of the provincial Human Rights Code for cancelling the driver's licence of Terry Grismer because he had a visual disability.
Background
Terry Grismer was a mining truck driver who, after suffering from a stroke in 1984, suffered from homonymous hemianopia (H.H.), a visual disability that reduces the scope of peripheral vision. After the stroke the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles cancelled his driver's licence on the grounds that his condition made him incapable of meeting the minimum standard for peripheral vision required when driving. This rule applied to all people who suffered from H.H.
Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia the Cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size. As federal and provincial responsibilities differ there are a number of different portfolios between the federal and provincial governments.
As at the federal level the most important Cabinet post after that of the leader is Minister of Finance, although notably during the regimes of Premiers W.A.C. Bennett and Dave Barrett that position was conjoint with that of the Premier. Today the next most powerful positions are the Forestry and Health portfolios which have huge budgets and are of central political importance. Other powerful portfolios include Education, Health, and Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
The B.C. government has unveiled its priorities for the next several months in its throne speech. Premier David Eby is away in Ottawa for health-care talks between premiers and the prime minister. But as Meera Bains tells us, the speech signalled an urgency from the province on issues like affordable housing, health care and public safety.

Parliamentary and Municipal Government in British Columbia Explained
Why are the parliamentary and municipal systems of government so different. Some insights can come from looking at how these systems evolved.

Why are the parliamentary and municipal systems of government so different. Some insights can come from looking at how these systems evolved.
There are three main aspects of government – executive, legislative and judicial. Parliament started with a legislative focus and later adopted executive functions. Municipal governments started with a judicial focus maintaining public order but also had executive functions like maintaining common areas.
This video describes and explains the history of parliamentary and municipal government structures and how they evolved from those of the Kingdom of Wessex. These forms were fundamental to Alfred the Great who fought off the Vikings unified many territories such that he is considered the first King of England. As England grew in power, its forms of government came to be used around the world.
The Shire was an important level of government. It was divided into Hundreds, an area of fluid boundaries that could support 100 families or provide 100 soldiers. Each hundred was divided into Tithings, a unit of 10 families. Each family area was called a Hide. Our municipal governments descend ultimately from the Hundred Court.
The Shire Reeve or Sheriff would invite two knights from each Hundred Court to set the 'farm' or food rent. In later years the monarch would call two knights from each Shire to sit in the parliament.
Understanding how we got the different systems of government will help us continue to change them.

She says she's going back home. Hasn't seen her friends in a while. Plus British Columbia's real nice this time of year. And when she gets there she says that she'll phone. May take a day or so. It always takes longer than you think it will to settle in. And she says: So if I leave on that plane, remember me by our good days. And you don't have to but I'm going to wait. There's something wrong with the dog. She can't stop eating on herself. And the scabs that are under her fur, mean that I've been away too long.
