The
Green Party of Canada
fielded seventy-nine candidates in the
1997 federal election
, none of whom were elected. Information about some of these candidates may be found on this page.
Cooper was a journalist at the time of the election. According to the
Toronto Star
newspaper, he ran for the Green Party due to a belief that supporting Canada's more established parties would simply encourage "apathy, cynicism, mediocrity and corruption". His campaign called for "environmentally sound programs, local democracy, sustainable development and long-term planning" (
Toronto Star
, 30 May 1997).
