30 Under 30 Rock
April's 30 Under 30 prompted many
cheerful tweets. Kit and Ace
(@kitandace) tweeted, "Finding
our footing in @BCBusiness—look
for our founder, JJ Wilson, in the 30
Under 30"—and
MLA Terry Lake (@Terry
LakeMLA)
said, "Congrats to #Kamloops' Patrick (Petey)
Crawford!" Jill Slattery (@JillSlattery) was not so thrilled:
"Sad that less than 1/3 are women. This is getting so tiring."
(Editor's Note: BCBusiness relies on nominations to 'nd our 30
Under 30. Make your pick for 2017 at bcbusiness.ca/30Under30.)

Potdevin (April 2016). Aurea Dempsey (@AureaDempsey)
tweeted, "Laurent Potdevin sets @lululemon in new direction
... another inspiring read." Judy Rudin (@judyrudin) added,
"Very strategic in terms of timing, on many levels. Establishes

to learn more about Lulu's current leader."

André Parizeau
(@maparizeau) doesn't
care that the "drama
is 'pushed,' it just
adds a little spice

wish all the success,"
while Miranda

says simply, "Great
seeing Williams Lake
getting some love."
Following media reports that donors could pay
$10,000 to meet privately with Premier Christy
Clark, in April BC Liberal
MLAs defeated an nDP
motion to debate a ban on corporate and union
donations to provincial political parties. Ontario
Premier Kathleen Wynne had recently vowed to
ban corporate and union donations. From April
8 to 15 we received 112 responses to our online
poll that asked: should Christy Clark and the
BC Liberals have followed Ontario's lead
and banned corporate and union dona-
tions to political parties?
