Ittinuar ponders Green nomination in Nunavut
“The policies of the Green Party resonate with me.”
Peter Ittinuar, a veteran Nunavut politician with five years of experience as a member of parliament, is giving a lot of thought these days to the idea of running for the Green Party in Nunavut.
“The policies of the Green Party resonate with me,” Ittinuar, 57, said in an interview this week with Nunatsiaq News.
Running in what was then called the Nunatsiaq riding, Ittinuar won two elections to the House of Commons for the New Democratic Party in 1979 and 1980, then crossed the floor to join Pierre Trudeau’s ruling Liberals in 1982.
