In B.C., the Citizens' Assembly actually recommended a Single Transferable Vote system rather than MMP (although it seems that public support would have probably been higher for MMP, and it got plenty of discussion in the media, which might be the source of your confusion;)). MMP never really got a fair shake in BC due to the fact that there was an informal mandate put in place (some say it was a shady bit of deception - others say it was necessary for the sake of the process) stating that the parliament could not be increased in size. In Ontario, as in New Zealand, the Assembly has recommended MMP.

The success of MMP in New Zealand has had a LOT of influence on the Ontario Assembly's decision-making process, and the model they're recommending is quite similar to that in NZ.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
