BURLINGTON, ON

The Greens have a candidate; a little late out of the gate but the Green Party in Burlington has named Vince Fiorito as their candidate – they’ve chosen well.

Vince Fiorito in the middle of Sheldon Creek hauling out waste that shouldn’t have been there in the first place is now the Green candidate for Burlington.

While Fiorito has a lot to learn about electioneering in the six weeks left he has a solid reputation as an environmentalist and has made significant contributions to the environmental welfare of the city.

We will publish a longer profile on who Fiorito is and why he deserves at least consideration.

And with the race nationally being as tight as it is – who knows who is going to come out on top.

Vince Fiorito is going to learn more than he perhaps wants to learn about the political process – come October 19th – he will have seen the world through glasses that were not rose coloured – and we will all know more about why politics and the environment should be in bed together.
