Brian Gibb

Brian Gibb

Brian Gibb is a Canadian politician who was elected unopposed in March 2008 as president of the Green Party of Quebec.

Gibb ran as a candidate for the right-leaning, conservative, nationalist and autonomist ADQ party in the Quebec election of 2003 in the riding of Gatineau. [http://www.cbc.ca/quebecvotes2003/ridings/038_gatineau.html] He ran federally for the Green Party of Canada in 2004, receiving the endorsement of a major area newspaper, "The Ottawa Citizen". Fact|date=May 2008 He ran provincially in 2007 for the Green Party of Quebec and received 9.87% of the vote. In 2008, he was an unsuccessful Green Party candidate in the 2008 Quebec provincial by-election for the riding of Hull. He finished fourth, garnering 7.2 percent of the total votes cast. Gibb was elected president of the Parti Vert du Quebec but his presidency was short lived, and due to confrontation with the parti Leader, decided to resign within just a few months. He then put his previous personal friendship with Gatineau NDP candidate Françoise Boivin (a previous liberal who like Gibb made a sudden shift following conflict with the leader of her previous party) ahead of what he had previously fought for regarding the Green Party and and previous apparent convictions about the Green Party)

Discouraged by his backward performance at the last provincial elections, Gibb said he would consequently focus on electoral reform (for proportional representation), and told Frederic Pouyot, the federal candidate for the Green Party in Hull-Aylmer that he would not endorse the NPD specifically in Hull-Aylmer, but he only endorses his old friend Boivin in the Gatineau riding.

Gibb has served as president of the Association pour la revendication des droits démocratiques, which in involved in a legal challenge with the aim of having proportional representation in Quebec imposed by the Courts.
