B.C. Green Leader Sonia Furstenau says the party will present a fully-costed platform.
B.C. Green leader Sonia Furstenau says her party is not running to form government but to hold it"accountable" as it continues to announce its election campaign team and new candidates.
" think right now, it is important for people to get to know the leaders and the vision that these parties have for this province," she said. She added that the party will continue its pattern of presenting on a fully-costed platform with plenty of policy details, so voters can see its vision. Olsen is the sitting MLA for the Saanich North and the Islands, but is not running again for personal reasons. Balsillie has helped manage various campaigns, including the campaign of Aislinn Clancy, who won a 2023 by-election to Ontario's provincial legislature.
The party currently sits in third place in a recent Research Co. poll with 10 per cent. It currently holds two seats, the minimum number to be recognized as an official party in the legislature. But both seats — located on Vancouver Island — will be open, with Rob Botterell running in Olsen's riding and Furstenau switching from Cowichan Valley to Victoria Beacon-Hill, where she will be running against cabinet minister Grace Lore.
