Illustrative photoA drop in the number of women at the B.C. legislature is a loss for all British Columbians, according to an opinion item in the Vancouver Sun.
The piece ties the decline to what it calls B.C.'s dramatic political shift on Saturday, and says women were among the biggest losers in that change.
The legislature in Victoria is where provincial laws are passed for Vancouver and every other community in the province, so who is elected there is a question for local voters as much as for anyone else.
The Sun labels the item Opinion, which makes the assessment the writer's own argument.
