Claire Martin, Green Party candidate for the elections (Includes interview and first-hand account)

In a press conference organised during a sunny day at Burrard Inlet of North Vancouver, Claire Martin, associated by the party leader Elizabeth May and a few other party members said that being and voting green has always been her way. Martin, who is a native of Britain, came to Canada more than 20 years ago and started to work for Environment of Canada. She was also a very familiar and likeable face in CBC country wide news program “The National”.
Martin, as a scientist sends a clear message that she has an undeniably unambiguous understanding of where Canada is going when it comes to environment and its protection.

“With the help of Elizabeth May and other Green MPs, I plan to help shape the future of our country in a responsible way that truly reflects how Canadians feel,” she said during the press conference and during a short period of questions she made it very obvious that the Green Party of Canada is committed to cleaning up huge mess that’s been sitting in Ottawa for years. Martin also added that people trust Green Party program which is going to be a base for future success of the party.
“People trust me. That’s why federal Green Party leader came to me at the very beginning. I think, quite frankly, that’s how I built a career. I was not trained to be on TV. But I won people over by being honest and a little bit likeable.”
