I am driven by the need to fully embrace economic practices that recognize the long-term value of sustainability, rather than the outdated “pump and burn” business model that Canada has relied on for too long. We are smarter than that.

I was the runner-up in the 2017 B.C. Provincial election in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and contributed to the entire provincial campaign. I was honoured with the Outstanding Service Award (2017) by the B.C. Green Party and ranked among the top ten financial contributors in the province.

– Founder of the environmental clothing company Crailar (1998)
– Founder of the electric car company ElectraMeccanica (2015)
– Completed 40 marathons, including five Boston Marathons
– Private pilot and competitive race car driver, specializing in electric vehicles

I want to connect with Canadian voters who recognize the increasing severity of climate events and the urgency to take action now—before it’s too late. We don’t get a second chance at this. Neither did the dinosaurs. Hopefully, we’re smarter than a bunch of dumb big lizards.
