“One scrappy granny, everyone on the BC organics listserv is familiar with Huguette’s advocacy for the farmers in her region, particularly organic farmers. She led the campaign against the unfair components of Campbell’s meat inspection guidelines.

“As a director of several local environmental groups, Huguette is an outspoken advocate for farmland and food security.”

“I met Huguette as a result of the water quality issues related to a proposed development at Sugar Lake. What struck me most about Huguette was the organized fashion in which she collected information, how she presented the facts in an orderly and objective way.

“Huguette recognized that there was a need to represent the community and "rose to the occassion", taking her own time and resources to make sure the community was well represented. Huguette speaks very well and I look forward to her being one of the first Green Party MP’s.”

“In the federal election, I voted for the Green Party. In the provincial election, I intend to vote for the Green Party. Unless something changes drastically, I intend to vote for the Green Party for the foreseeable future.

“Why? Because until the planet and its peoples are secure, we have no future. No other party is yet the party of the future. No other party recognizes that how we treat one another, and how we treat the other living beings that share this planet with us, are the same thing. No other party has openly and explicitly embraced the reality of limits to growth. No other party has acknowledged that it is ‘natural capital’, not money, that is the only asset we have worth protecting. No other party has focussed its sights on a future in which we accept our fundamental role as stewards of Planet Earth, and of one another.

“I hope every political party in this country looks hard at the policies and positions of the Green Party. I hope every other party imitates those policies -- of sharing, of compassion, of radical cooperation with the forces of nature. To do so, they will all need to make big changes in how they conduct themselves. In the meantime, the Green Party of Canada will get my vote.”

Warren Bell, MD
past founding president of CAPE (Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment)

“Huguette works with dedication and integrity.

“Huguette walks the talk.

“Huguette will finish what she starts. She takes on a project and sees it through to the end.”

“Huguette Allen was my next-door neighbor for fifteen years. Her two boys and my two boys were childhood schoolmates and best friends.

“Huguette never ceased to amaze me with all the projects she undertook, while still being an active presence for her two sons. She began each day with a rapid walk along our street — which I observed sleepy-eyed from my window! Even today, my husband and I refer to walking ‘à la Huguette’.

“Read Huguette's biography and I won't have to convince you that here is a woman with enormous energy and drive. Yet she remains unaffected by her success and always interested in others’ accomplishments. I admire Huguette not only for her personal honesty, but for her intellectuel honesty as well, something that is unfortunately rare in politics today.

“I’m certain that Huguette will be a formidable member of Parliament. I sure wish she were running in my riding!”
