Bill Tieleman (born February 18, 1957) is a lobbyist and former NDP political strategist in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
[2] Tieleman is also known for strongly advocating hydraulic fracturing to extract methane for export from British Columbia, and for denying the role of global warming in forest fires.
[14] Tieleman was president of the No STV Campaign Society[15] that successfully prevented the introduction of BC-STV, a form of single transferable voting, in the 2009 referendum on provincial electoral reform.
Opposition to the measure increased from the first referendum, he felt, because citizens had more information on the practical consequences of STV, including large multi-member ridings.
[23] Tieleman holds a master's degree in political science from the University of British Columbia and lives in Vancouver.
