During its efforts to share local Provincial Election candidate perspectives, CFURadio had the opportunity for a one on one with James Steidle, the Green Party’s candidate for the Prince George–Mackenzie riding. The riding is also contested by Kiel Giddens of the BC Conservatives, the NDP’s Shar McRory, and Rachel Weber running as an independent.
Beyond advocating for green initiatives that would benefit the climate and environment, Steidle shared with us his views on the changing industrial forestry landscape and makes a case for locally focused economics. Advocating for change, he argues that decades of crony capitalism and poor forestry management have left Northern BC in rough shape.
Following this interview on Wednesday October 2nd, James Steidle was the sole participant at the all candidates forum later that evening.
CFURadio will be offering each candidate the opportunity to have one on ones in the time leading up to the election.
