Says the CBC:
Quote:
May, chosen party leader last August, currently lives in Ottawa, but became a force for environmental causes as a young adult in Cape Breton, N.S.
When she was in her 20s, she formed the Small party — the predecessor of today’s Green party — and ran against then Liberal deputy prime minister Allan MacEachen in the old riding of Cape Breton Highlands-Canso, which included Antigonish.
“Nova Scotia is where I began my lifelong vocation as an activist and political campaigner," she said. "It is entirely fitting that I now come back here to launch my first full campaign as leader of the Green Party of Canada,” May said.
