Although there is no B.C. Conservative Party member running in the Burnaby-Edmonds riding this election, there's still a fourth candidate, thanks to the B.C. Excalibur Party.
Nicholas Edward D'Amico is the candidate running for the newly founded the B.C. Excalibur Party in Burnaby-Edmonds.
"What I have to offer is life experience and ambition," D'Amico said in an email interview. "I feel I am fit to run . because I am an everyday person who works like everyone else."
D'Amico works as a forklift operator at North American Pipe and Steel and has experience in construction and trades work.
"I am passionate most about the education system, but that doesn't mean I forget and ignore other issues," he said. "The environment, economy and society as a whole is being jeopardized by the people in power today, and all we are guaranteed by them for the future is more broken promises."
The party was founded this year, and its platform promises include cutting the PST by two per cent over the next four years; creating rail transit between Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Hope; removing incineration as a means to deal with waste; and putting banning fish farming, among others.
The party leader is Michael Halliday, who has owned various small businesses - including a medieval restaurant and a 3,000 square foot historically themed store, according to his online profile. He is running in the Chilliwack riding.
There are six candidates running for the party in Abbotsford-Mission,
Abbotsford-West, Abbotsford-South, Richmond-East, Chilliwack and Burnaby-Edmonds.
Halliday could not immediately be reached by the Burnaby NOW for comment.
