The Terra Nova Green Party says it will run a candidate in the federal riding of St. John's West when the time comes.

Party spokesman Jason Crummey said the party's motto will once again be "Ban Draggers", referring to the large factory freezer trawlers they say contributed to the demise of the North Atlantic fishery bio-mass.

"The three issues that we wanted to stress are overfishing on the nose and tail of the Grand Banks, guaranteed annual income for all Canadians, and the issue of federal/provincial transfer payments," added Crummey.

A feud is brewing between the federal Green Party of Canada and its Newfoundland affiliate. The Terra Nova Greens want to run a candidate in next month's federal byelection in St. John's West. But spokesman Jason Crummey says the federal wing has rejected all three names proposed for nomination. He says the dispute is over the Newfoundland party's support for the seal fishery.

Crummey says the federal party doesn't understand the fishery.Federal party president Jean Russow says she just wants to make sure any potential candidates comply with party policy on the issue.
 

The leader of the Green Party of Canada says she's surprised the Newfoundland affiliate went public with an internal party dispute.
Jean Russow says the party's national council hadn't even addressed the issue when the Terra Nova Greens contacted the media.  The Newfoundland Greens want to run a candidate in next month's federal byelection in St. John's west.

But all three candidates they proposed for nomination were rejected by the federal party because of their support for the seal hunt. Russow says her party is also concerned about the terra Nova greens' support for Voiseys' Bay and fish farming.
