Dan King (Don Valley East)
King is an environmental and social policy consultant in Toronto, Canada. Originally from Timmins, Ontario, King lived in New York City, Amsterdam amongst other places in the 1960s and 1970s. He lived in Rochdale College in Toronto, a building which was later converted to apartments and in which he still lives over 30 years later. He has served as tenant rep in a building in which he has to campaign in many languages just in one hallway, and is very involved in local causes for immigrants, the disabled, mentally ill and disadvantaged. He is an expert in Canada's tax system and files tax returns for disabled people.
He is also an expert in emissions trading especially for non-point sources, and has worked on land trust and fundraising problems related to forest preservation and preventing deforestation, though he has never made a living in this field, his advice is widely sought by other Greens on ecology-related accounting matters. A briefing paper coauthored by King on GAAP and ISO 19011 remains the Green Party of Canada's sole reference on this subject.
On urban issues, King has been very active and prominent, and literally kept some citizen activist groups going through periods of low participation. An early member of the Toronto Local Employment and Trading System (LETS), he ran up the largest account of any member before that system was ended, to be replaced by the Toronto dollar. He was a member and director of C4LD, Province of Toronto. He supported Tooker Gomberg for Mayor of Toronto in 2000, and David Miller in 2003, when he ran a "Greens for Miller" group. Gomberg, Miller, and other longtime King allies Michael Walker and Michael Prue were all staunch supporters of province status for the City of Toronto, a cause that King championed again in 2001 as candidate for the Province of Toronto Party, a nomination that he sought to originally offer to Prue (who ran for the NDP). The two remain allies on urban issues, King having briefed federal Liberal cabinet minister John Godfrey on areas of policy which Prue covers for the provincial NDP. King met Godfrey (Don Valley West) when campaigning as the Don Valley East candidate with other Greens in the 2004 federal election. King received 1,172 votes, finishing fourth out of six candidates. The winner was Yasmin Ratansi of the Liberal Party of Canada.
King has also been a perennial candidate, staffer and fundraiser for the Green Party of Ontario. He recruited and trained numerous candidates and staff for the GPO and, as of December 2005, serves as its Operations Coordinator. He has volunteered to run in ridings where the party has poor organizat
