Green Party candidate Ryan Zedic says it was important for him to run because he wanted to advocate for democracy and fair representation.

Zedic says the Green Party is the only party that represents a ‘no-whip’ policy and as a Green, he believes he could uniquely represent the constituents of Calgary Midnapore in the House of Commons.

As part of our coverage of the Calgary Midnapore by-election and in the interest of fairness, we asked each of the candidates running with a major party the same five questions.

1) Why run?

2) What sets you apart from the other challengers?

3) If you could pick one, what do you see as the most complex issue facing your riding today?

4) How would the election of you as a member of your party, benefit Calgary voters?

5) Is there anything else you would like to add in a final message to the voters?
