Last month, prominent environmentalist Briony Penn announced she wouldn't be running for the federal Liberals a second time in Saanich-Gulf Islands. So who's going to replace her? Well, perennial candidate Kit Spence is in the process of filling out his nomination papers. And association director-at-large Renee Hetherington has also informed the executive she'll be throwing her hat in the ring.
Penn runs out
June 9, 2009
Aw ... why not? Somehow the federal election seemed to have been snatched from Briony Penn who, in my view, is a natural for representing Saanich-Gulf Islands.
It pains me to say this but neither will have a hope in h, e, double hockey sticks until that riding goes through a boundary change. The libs best shot was last time around.
