VICTORIA, BC – Green Leader Elizabeth May reacted to by-elections results tonight before leaving Victoria for Ottawa.
“I want to congratulate Green candidates Donald Galloway, Chris Turner and Virginia Ervin. Donald finishing second In Victoria –with approximately 35% of the vote– and Chris finishing third in Calgary-Centre–with approximately 25% of the vote– are powerful statements: the Greens are contenders,” said Elizabeth May, Green Party of Canada Leader and MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands.
“For the Green Party of Canada, these by-elections mark a new stage. Tonight's results demonstrate people trust us in numbers greater than ever. We now need to build on that trust and offer every Canadian a real choice in 2015,” concluded May.
