The Environmental Group GreenPAC has announced it's endorsement
list of 35 candidates for the 2021 Federal Election

Skeena NDP candidate Taylor Bachrach has received the endorsement of a national environmental group with the MP currently campaigning for a return to the House of Common, gaining the support of the organization Green PAC, which has offered its endorsements to 35 candidates from all five parties across the nation.

The criteria for the GreenPac endorsement is focused for those who have put the environment first from their experiences and accomplishments.

“These are the candidates who have shown they will stand up for our environment - candidates we can look to for strong leadership for the health of our planet,”  -- GreenPAC’s Executive Director, Sarah Van Exan.

In at the endorsement profile for Mr. Bachrach, he was praised for his work in Ottawa, as well as his prior efforts on environmental themes while in municipal politics in Smithers and Telkwa.

The organization has a few caveats when it comes to their endorsement declarations, the first being the they only endorse candidates that they consider 'winnable' and they only focus on those ridings where the candidates that they have selected have have had accomplishments in environmental issues.

The organization has no ties to the Green Party of Canada, which probably explains their focus on all five political parties.

Other than being a bit of a disappointment perhaps for Green Party candidate Adeana Young, the endorsement probably won't shift much of the voting patterns in the Skeena riding, with the NDP MP having already captured the majority of the support for those with concerns on environmental themes. 

When it comes to casting a ballot on Monday,  supporters of three of the other four candidates most likely will not  be shifting their allegiances, regardless of an endorsement in this final week of the campaign.

The one area where the GreenPAC endorsement may have some impact, could be in the case of the Liberal vote in the riding. 

A volume of voters which should be in some form of flux considering the rather absent campaign in the region from their candidate Lakhwinder Jahr, who has not done much since being acclaimed in August to raise the profile of the party in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.
