Well-Known Meteorologist Runs for Greens
My name is Claire Martin, and I am excited to announce that I am running as the Green Party candidate for the riding of North Vancouver.

Over the last four years, Elizabeth May has shown us how much a Green MP can achieve, and I can’t wait to join her and many more Green MPs in Ottawa after the next election. In order to make that happen, we need your help! The election could be called at any point in
