    Elections Canada concluded the use of Green Party signs in the Liberal campaign amounted to an "unintentional"  violation of the Elections Act.

    Green Party Candidate Gary Adams won the nomination for the Greens with a plan to bow-out of the campaign and co-operate with the Liberals in return for buy-in on some Green Party policies.

    Fuhr says the pact was up-front and the violation is minor.

    Dan Ryder, the agent for the Green Party candidate, is equally dismissive of the Election Commissioner's findings.  

    But, Angela Nagy, a veteran Green Party stalwart told KelownaNow the whole deal was poorly handled and Ron Cannan, the incumbent Conservative who lost in that election said the Elections Canada findings don't go far enough.

    We have two separate interviews on the subject. First Stephen Fuhr with Dan Ryder.  And then Angela Nagy with Ron Cannan.
