Cam Mather To Represent Green In LFL&A

Mar 27, 2014

Supporters and members of the Green Party of Ontario gathered at the Maberly hall on March 22 for an anual fund-raising dinner. Cam Mather, who is running as the Green Party of Ontario candidate for Lanark, Frontenac Lennox & Addington, was not able to attend the event. Rolly Montpellier, who is a member of the Green Party and who helped organize the event, was pleased with the turn out and talked about a new strategy for the expected election this spring.

Montpellier said he and his members are pleased at how well Mike Schreiner, the leader of the Green Party of Ontario, is currently doing in the polls. Schreiner will be running in the Guelph area and Montpellier said that his own association will be channeling some of their fund-raising dollars to help Schreiner get elected. “We're actually trying to use the Elizabeth May model where federally a lot of resources were devoted to her campaign so that she could be elected and that strategy certainly worked. So we are trying to use the same principle to get Schreiner elected to the legislature in Ontario,” he said.

Cam Mather lives in an off-grid house on 150 acres near the village of Tamworth. 
With his wife Michele, he runs Aztext.com, which publishes books on sustainable living. He has written a number of books, including "Thriving During Challenging Times", and most recently, "Little House off the Grid".

The minority Liberal government under Premier Kathleen Wynne will face a confidence vote later this month when they table their 2014 budget.
