2025 Federal Election - Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies Riding Candidate Interviews
As part of CFUR’s Federal Election 2025 coverage, we aim to interview all the candidates running in the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies and Cariboo–Prince George ridings. We present the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding candidates thus far:
Clinton Emslie, is running for the Liberal Party of Canada in the Cariboo–Prince George riding.
We spoke to Dr. Peter Njenga who is taking a break from charitable work, teaching, accounting and real estate to run for MP in the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding with the Federal Liberal Party. Uncontested in his application for the role, Njenga has been looking to increase his presence in the region for months ahead of the current campaign and is driving to campaign across the expansive riding over the next couple weeks. On a number of topics in our conversation he described what he feels is a balanced approach to industry, housing, and more.
Njenga is confident that party leader Mark Carney is the right person for PM. He encourages the electorate, “to vote Liberal and see whether there will be a change now, or in the next four years, compared to what has happened in this riding for the last decade, because it has been represented by Conservatives.” He asks, “What did they do?”
The 2025 Canadian Federal Election will be held on April 28th. Elections Canada has resources to help voters find the nearest polling station to them in the Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies riding.
As part of CFUR’s Federal Election 2025 coverage, we spoke to Mary Forbes who is pausing her Trash Talks to run for MP in the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding with the Federal Liberal Party. A resident of Williams Lake BC, in the Cariboo–Prince George riding, Forbes feels there is significant overlap of issues between that riding and of the Northern Rockies riding. Coupled with her work experience in the North East of the province, she feels she can relate to constituents fairly easily and looks forward to engaging with as many people as possible. On a number of topics in our conversation she described her approach to healthcare, the resource industry, and more.
She feels a political representative should be approachable.
This interview is part of a series on the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding. You can hear our interview with Liberal Party Dr. Peter Njenga here. We’ll post further links as we publish them.
As part of CFUR’s Federal Election 2025 coverage, we spoke to Cory “Grizz” Longley. He joined us online from his “Grizzebago” in Dawson Creek while taking a break from plumbing to run for MP of the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding with the Federal NDP. Longley has grown weary of Bob Zimmer’s, the incumbent MP, representation. On a number of topics in our conversation he describes his approach to relationship building, infrastructure, and critiques the current representation with frenetic energy.
This interview is part of a series on the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding. You can hear our interview with Liberal Party Dr. Peter Njenga here, and Green Party Mary Forbes here.
As part of CFUR’s Federal Election 2025 coverage, we spoke to David Watson. He joined us online from Bear Lake while taking a hiatus from his role as Postmaster to run for MP of the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding with the People’s Party of Canada. In our conversation, amidst a few topics, he describes his approach to nation to nation negotiations, and what the PPC provides on the right side of the political spectrum that the Federal Conservative party does not.
This interview is part of a series on the Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies riding. You can hear our interview with Liberal Party Dr. Peter Njenga here, NDP Cory Longley here, and Green Party Mary Forbes here. This concludes our efforts to interview candidates in the PG-PR-NR riding.
