NB Green Party Leader David Coon
CBC News Report 14 N.B. New Democrats jumping ship to join Greens
This father of an adult son with autism, intellectual disability and epilepsy has been Leaning Green for the impending federal election as I said a few days ago on my FB page. And now as reported by CBC News, 14 NDP members in NB are going green adding to the party's strength. I will decide for sure when I see if the Green Party commits to working to establish a National Autism Policy that would ensure evidence based treatment, education and long term residential care and treatment for adults with severe autism needs. I understand that many such issues are provincial but federal governments can work with provincial governments or we would have NO medicare at all.
I know neither the PCs nor the Liberals will do so. The NDP is falling. Its current leader has not visited NB and no NB NDP candidates have been announced. The Liberal Party of Canada already rejected their #WPG2016 E-03 Medicare Coverage for Autism Treatment resolution passed unanimously (and endorsed by Bob Rae). Here in NB Fredericton Green candidate Jenica Atwin has shown real interest in working on autism issues.
