Jane Sterk, a 60-year old city counsellor, was elected Leader of the Green Party of British Columbia on Sunday October 21.  During her acceptance speech, she said that she intended to run only for one term and keep up with her duties on city council in Esquimault.

Her priorities over her term include are:

1.  Within six months to have a full-time, staffed office in Victoria that is capable of providing support to the leader, provincial council, regions, constituency associations and members.

2. Within three months, to have a fully functioning database so we can better retain our members and a website that is compelling and robust.

3. To increase our predictable funding from Evergreen donations and individuals donations to fund our internal operations and to help finance the 2009 campaign.

4. To bring the BC Green Party message to business groups, public service sector representatives, civil society groups, service clubs, environmental organizations, seniors’ groups so they agree that we need to have MLAs in Victoria to improve the governing of the province.

5. To have an election strategy by May 2008 and to be election-ready by the fall of 2008.

Among her supporter she singled out for thanks, she mentioned Ian Gregson for facebook and internet support, the number of endorsements from mayors and city counselors throughout British Columbia.

This is pretty neat: micro wind at a fraction of the cost:

This is the campaign video for Sanjeev Goel running for the Green Party in Ontario. It is very funny.

Tomorrow, the Green Party of Ontario will not be allowed in the Ontario Leaders’ Debate.  Despite releasing a unique platform with strong positions on education and health care and running a full slate of 107 candidates, the big, bad media consortium has decided that the Greens aren’t worth hearing from.

This is Let Frank In!

This is a short political ad that I think is pretty fun and extremely easy to do.  Very much a bread-and-butter political announcement.
