Rumblings of Green planning on road towards the Fall election

The profile for the Federal Green party in the Northwest is kind of a hit and miss thing of late and mostly it takes a bit of digging through a stream of Facebook pages to find some notes on their plans.

Social media  at the moment is the best way to get an indication as to where the Federal party is at when it comes to a challenge for the seat in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

So far, near as we can determine, the Greens had taken in some nominations for the party candidacy in Skeena-Bulkley Valley for the fall vote and a testing of the organizational waters came to pass last week, with much of the focus for the party found in the Smithers, Bulkley Valley region for the most part.

Two would-be candidates, Mike Sawyer and Edward Quinlan have the highest profiles of those indicating an interest in representing the Greens in the upcoming election

Both Mr. Sawyer and  Mr. Quinlan are from the Smithers/Telkwa area and their opening themes as they prepare for the nomination process can be reviewed below:

Mike Sawyer
Edward Quinlan

Of the two, Mr. Sawyer's name may ring a bell for Northwest residents, known most recently for his involvement in a legal challenge related to the Coastal GasLink pipeline to feed the LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat.

As they both make note of, those wishing to be part of the voting on the nominee for the party in Skeena-Buklley Valley must be members of the party in good standing for thirty days prior to whenever the party gets around to holding the vote.

Which would seem to suggest that those interested in joining up with the Greens, probably should sign on sooner, rather than later if they wish to have a say in who will represent in the fall vote.

The Skeena-Bulkley Valley page from the National Green Party site can be found here.

You can follow some of the themes of discussion from the Green Party through their website, Facebook page and twitter feed.

Like the Greens, the Liberals at the moment seem somewhat off the political radar in Skeena-Bulkley Valley with few indications yet as to when they will be hosting a nomination process for the fall electoral season.

As it is at the moment, so far there are declared candidates for the NDP, Conservatives, Christian Heritage Party and People's Party of Canada
