Conservation Voters of BC launches "Anybody But Carole" campaign [2]
Frustrated by what they see as a failure in leadership by the BC NDP on the issue of climate change, the high profile Conservation Voters of BC [7] announced today that they are endorsing “Anybody But Carole” [8] in NDP leader Carole James riding of Victoria-Beacon Hill.
The group also announced that they will not be endorsing any NDP incumbents that were members of the past caucus.
The Conservation Voters press release states [8] that:
Due to the New Democrats’ failure to be leaders in promoting real solutions to global warming we cannot endorse any NDP incumbents that were members of this past caucus. We believe the party needs new leadership and new voices that take a more urgent, principled and collaborative approach to meeting the challenges of climate change.”
“The time for partisan politicking on the back of the climate crisis is over,” said Naomi Devine, Director, Conservation Voters of BC. “All parties must respond to the strong environment values that British Columbians hold.”
The Conservation Voters of BC also annouced that they are endorsing Damian Kettlewell [9] (Green Party – Vancouver Falsecreek), Barry Penner [10] (Liberal – Chilliwack-Hope), Lana Popham [11] (NDP – Saanich-South), Gary Holman [12] (NDP – Saanich North and the Islands).
