Political conversations and engagements can be sparked by news circulated by the media and social media. These conversations can strike power and support towards the topics at hand.
The Public Health Association of BC (PHABC) recently captured some of the discourse surrounding the municipal elections and community safety and well-being in the Capital Regional District (CRD) region.
In order to gather relevant and accurate data, we valued relevance and accuracy over quantity. There is a high chance of outliers.
