Eric,
You were the outstanding candidate at the All Candidates' Meeting at City Hall tonight. You demonstrated that you are the most informed on ALL issues, not only the environment, but also foreign policy, human rights, Aboriginal issues and the need to further regulate the health and safety of Canadians. Your knowledge of details on all these fronts is extremely impressive, as is your delivery, humour and respectful tone. Thank you for your honourable participation in this election. |

Eric Walton has just the qualities we need in an MP at this time of uncertainty and the great challenges facing our generation. He is open-minded, progressive and forward-thinking. Like the Green Party in general, he takes and promotes the best ideas from all quarters. He is concerned with long term solutions not short term political gain. |

Eric Walton is a person of intelligence and integrity. When I first met him in 2006, he astounded me with his clear and forward-looking positions on the future of our country. He is truly an inspiring person and I have no doubt that he will lead Kingston and Canada to a brighter future if elected MP. |

Eric Walton and the Green Party have consistently stood up for our local environment. He has advocated for action on climate change and was critical in passing Kingston's pesticide ban, culminating in a province-wide ban. Eric's party's platform is one that will nurture a better economy, environment, and government to guide us through our country's future. |

Eric is an entrepreneur at heart. He is creative and dynamic both in public and private sector arenas. He understands the converging challenges facing our global food system and our farmers. He knows what needs to be done to support the grassroots-driven development of sustainable local farm and food systems that can feed all members of our community fairly traded, healthy, local food.

Eric is a statesman in every essence of the word. He would be a sterling steward in Ottawa for Kingston and the Islands. Eric does not pander to fear; instead he champions creative solutions to today’s myriad challenges. He is someone I trust has my interests at heart: a safe, prosperous and healthy community. |

Eric Walton is an outstanding candidate for the Green Party, a man who takes the trouble to listen to people's concerns and who doesn't indulge in tiresome negative debate. He is a compassionate and pragmatic candidate with clear priorities, such as lifting nearly a million Canadian children out of poverty, realistic climate control, economic common sense and an independent foreign policy. |

I've known Eric for many years and he's consistently impressed me with the breadth of his knowledge, his mastery of the issues, and the innovation of his ideas. Eric stands out in the debates as the one candidate who provides substantial, thoughtful answers to the questions raised; he doesn't dodge or obfuscate as so many politicians do. Of course, this is because he is running for the right reasons - to help create a more sustainable future for all of us. He's just the conscientious voice we need in Ottawa. |

As a family physician I realize that the health of our citizens relies not only on the strength of our medical system but also on our ability to clean up the environment, reduce poverty, and provide healthy food and clean water. The Green Party understands this. Eric Walton understands this. In Ottawa, Eric will be a strong voice for healthy, sustainable communities. |

Eric Walton is well known with the Green Party as one of our best candidates. Before I met him, he was praised by Green Party staff and volunteers alike who had met him or worked with him. He's certainly lived up to his reputation: dedicated, intelligent, kind and full of positivity. (And, did I mention dedicated?) Kingston and the Islands is lucky to have one of the best candidates the Green Party can offer. |

I want a sustainable future for my children. Eric knows what that will look like. He understands the issues. He has the pragmatism of a businessperson and the idealism of a father. I trust Eric to work for me in Ottawa. |
