For the remaining 12, Jack Poole has a close connection to BC and receipient of the Order of BC. Peter Brown also has a strong BC connection. Charmaine Crooks lives in North Vancouver. Michael Phelps lives in Vancouver. Beckie Scott lives in Panorama, BC.
It is definitely BC dominated and does not represent a fair across the country representation.
I don't know how many people have 3 hours to sit at an Internet terminal during normal work hours on a weekday to have a second try for tickets. I don't.
The whole phase 1 ticket lottery is a scam.
