Adriane Carr has resigned as leader of the Green Party of BC [link].  I had the opportunity to work closely with Adriane when I served on the GPBC council in 2003, and I was always impressed by her energy, her passion and her committment to Green values. 

I think Adriane's forte was public speaking:  her performance in the 2001 televised leadership debates in the BC provincial election led directly to the GPBC winning 12% of the vote.  In my opinion, this was a watershed moment for the Greens in Canada.  Adriane and her team showed Canadians that the Greens were a viable alternative to the old-line, "grey" parties, and her election successes set the stage for the subsequent growth of the GPC and other provincial parties.

Well done, Adriane, and thank you.

UPDATE:  Adriane has joined the GPC as our Deputy Leader.  Congratulations and good luck!
