Wally Martin, our good friend from Langley, BC, has decided to contest the coming provincial election in May from his constituency, on the Green Party platform. A self employed small businessman with an inclination to believe in long term sustainable solutions rather than the current trend of politicians, offering instant short term fixes for everything.

A committed environmentalist and a decent human with an inclusive political outlook to life focussed on sustainability and long term goals, he hopes to serve his community and the Canadian people into refocussing and looking generations into the future, instead of looking for solutions that last for a month or a season.

I spoke with Wally on phone on 11th of April 2013, about his decision to stand for election in a 3 minute statement. Then on April 16th, Wally read out another statement about himself, in another short talk. Both of these were recorded and have now been converted to podcast, linked below.

On 18th of April, I followed Wally as he went knocking on doors in is constituency, drumming up support for his candidacy. That was covered in the video below.

Good luck – Wally.
