John Streicker is the candidate I always hoped I'd get a chance to vote for. At home, in Ottawa and internationally, he and the Green Party will represent my values and voice them well. He's got zing. He's a lateral thinker. He's a caring, intelligent, knowledgeable, informed, engaged, sincere, energetic candidate in a political world of ... well ... politicians. I invite people to notice the creative and subtle things John is doing to better engage all the candidates; to improve dialogue, debate and thinking in this campaign; to champion democracy ... and take a listen to John before deciding for whom to cast their vote.

Sean MacKinnon, Isabel Beauregard
We are incredibly frustrated by the perpetual lack of leadership and neglect of critical issues at all levels of government. The emergence of John Streicker as a candidate in this riding gives us hope! John has earned our respect by exhibiting: a comprehensive understanding of the important issues; the initiative to prioritize and address said issues; a heartfelt and informed commitment to the causes; and essential traits such as integrity, confidence, honour and optimism.
John is socially, economically and environmentally aware and we will support him because we know that he will consider all three incredibly important factors in formulating all solutions or changes to be implemented. Beside John's long list of strong traits is the fact that he is representing the Green Party, a party that will actually work with other parties, allow its candidates to stray from the party line and will focus on solutions rather than power.

As a person with a scientific background I am well aware of the realities of climate change and environmental degradation and how that will affect economics. John has always provided a more rational insight into the current status of the environmental situation. His understanding of the implications of international movements and his up to date knowledge of the new science pertaining to global environment makes him the best source for this knowledge in the Yukon.
John has the energy required to be our MP and the insights into what really matters to Yukoners that's why I voted for him already (advance poll).

John embodies the vision and the spirit of the Green Party. He works toward the common good with an infectious enthusiasm. I know that John will work hard on behalf of all Yukoners. He's a true citizen of the world, plus he's lots of fun to be around.

Kristina Calhoun
I'm voting for John because it is easy to see that the Yukon is as important to him as it is to me. Yukoners are incredibly fortunate to live within this area and this lifestyle; I need to believe that the person I vote for will respect and protect our home.
I'm voting for the Green Party because of the utterly common sense approach that the party has towards a sustainable Canada. Their policies are smart and sensible, and the people involved with the party are very down to Earth and approachable.

We are supporting John Streicker because we know he would be a great person for the job. He has creative, practical and intelligent approaches to getting things done. He is tenacious, detail oriented, socially and environmentally conscious, great with people, and a man of action.

John is a great candidate for the Green Party: smart, well qualified, a clear thinker, and a good speaker. I am voting Green because their policies make sense to me. If you have not already, you should hear John speak - see what you think.

Our family recently completed our "Bird Year, "a year-long trip without using fossil fuels for our transportation. Our goals were to encourage people to think about their fossil fuel use and to promote bird habitat protection. During more than 21,000 kilometres of cycling across North America we didn't hear about any politicians who had a better plan (or more enthusiasm) for dealing with our environmental future than John Streicker, Elizabeth May and the Green Party of Canada.

With John, what you see is what you get, personally and professionally. He represents the active ingredients for effective and meaningful political leadership: intelligence, integrity and boundless optimism and enthusiasm. I am proud to have John represent the Green Party and Yukoners at the federal level.

I respect John's intelligence and his knowledge at the local, national, and international levels. He seems to want to find the right answers to difficult issues, not just those that are easy. I think he genuninely respects different perspectives and so is able to connect with diverse groups of people and help them find consensus. I think those are leadership skills that will make for a great MP.

I'm supporting the Green Party of the Yukon because they aim to solve problems by collaborating with parties rather than competing with them.

Working with John on this election has made me appreciate just how lucky Yukon politics in general, and the Green Party in particular, are to have him running for the Yukon's MP. His easy-going demeanor understates the great degree of knowledge, experience, and integrity that he brings to everything he does. He adds a sincere, informed voice to discussions and is quietly passionate about ensuring the best outcome for the entire Yukon in a rapidly changing North. He is, quite simply, the Yukon's best choice for its voice in Parliament.

I support the Green Party because they recognize that the economy can't be treated as a separate entity from the environment.

Jessica Thiessen
John has a quiet greatness. He is the kind of leader who brings out the best in people, helps them find ways to succeed, and then celebrates the learning that's happened along the way.
John's ideas are thorough, logical, and considerate of all sides regarding his own personal opinion. I've always been in awe of the way John's mind blends art and science; I think that's what makes him seem so wise.
I'm voting for John because he inspires me.

I am voting for the Green Party because of their progressive environmental policies and their conservative fiscal policies. And they seem to be the only party not making all kinds of outlandish, expensive promises.

I'm proud to see the growth and enthusiasm in the Green Party since the establishment of the Electoral District Association, especially with John as the candidate. People have been very positive in the door-to-door canvassing that I have done.

I started to take notice of the Green Party as I saw people I respect and look up to getting involved, especially John Streicker. I was drawn to the principles of integrity, sustainability (social, environmental and fiscal), and responsible governance fundamental to the party. The more involved I get, the more excited and committed I become. In John we have an amazing candidate who is honest, principled, compassionate, and has a quiet strength that permeates to all of those around him. I believe that with John, we can bring together people from across the political spectrum to move forward with a new way of doing politics. Go Green!
