Former B.C. Green party leader Stuart Parker endorses NDP candidate Svend Robinson in Burnaby North–Seymour

Svend Robinson is hoping he can attract enough votes from green-minded citizens to defeat incumbent Liberal Terry Beech.

Political endorsements are common occurrences during federal election campaigns.

But a recent one by former B.C. Green party leader Stuart Parker stands out in its heartfelt support for a politician who used to represent a rival party.

Parker headed the Greens from 1993 to 2000 when Svend Robinson was an NDP MP representing residents of North Burnaby.

Here's what Parker wrote on his website today about Robinson, who's attempting a political comeback as the NDP candidate in Burnaby North–Seymour:

"In 1994, Svend and I both went to jail for opposing the last BC NDP government’s plan to log Clayoquot Sound. Back when I led the BC Greens, the Green Party of Canada never ran against Svend. That’s because he has always put principle and planet before party. There has never been a parliamentarian of any political stripe who has been as consistent as Svend in putting everything, including his freedom, on the line for our planet. That’s why I have always backed him 100% and that is why I proudly stand behind his candidacy today. There is no person our parliament needs more desperately, as we confront the climate crisis, than Svend Robinson."

stu’s speech at toadie’s belated 21st party is going to be a cautionary tale one day of what happens when you are stressed, trying to avoid telling someone the truth and give a speech about them.
