Parts of BC's Election Gag Law struck down
Vancouver/CKNW(AM980)

3/27/2009

Parts of the BC Government's Election Gag Law have been struck down as unconstitutional.
Details of the ruling will be released on Monday by a BC Supreme Court Judge, but it looks like restrictions on advertising bought by third parties have been eased up.
The BC Teacher’s Federation is calling it a significant setback for the provincial government which tried to impose a $150 thousand limit up to 90 days before an election.
The timeline limit has now been reduced to 28 days.
