Nic for North Island, an interview with the Green Party candidate

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - While the Green party has shown promise in the past, especially on Vancouver Island, this has yet to translate into votes on election day. So my biggest question for Nic Dedeluck, the candidate for North Island riding, is why should we vote Green? 

Nick Dedeluck: “The Green Party is running candidates in 69 ridings, but we have six ridings that we are really hopeful will actually get elected. Getting six green MLAs voted in would be really positive for BC politics and holding the other parties accountable to moving forward  in a way that's better for our environment.” 

“We’re not going to form a government, and we're quite aware of that, but the more green MLAs that we can get elected,  the better it's going to be for BC. We can work better together with the other parties and the Green Party is well known for holding the other parties accountable to proper action for the needs of the communities rather than for big business. The Green Party is a party that has a four pillar platform that includes thriving people, resilient communities, a flourishing natural world, and good governance.”
