Joe Anglin is a municipal level politician from Alberta, Canada. He was elected to Rimbey Town Council in October 2010. He was the leader of the Green Party of Alberta from 2008 until its dissolution in 2009.
Anglin served in the United States Marine Corps and worked as a police officer in the 1970s. He moved to Canada and obtained Canadian citizenship in 1995. He served in the Canadian Coast Guard for six years.[1]
Anglin gained wide public attention in Alberta after he exposed the Energy and Utilities Board for spying on people who opposed power lines being put through their land.[2]
Anglin ran for the Alberta Green Party in the Lacombe-Ponoka electoral district in the 2008 Alberta general election. He had the best showing for the Greens in the province finishing a distant second to incumbent Ray Prins.[3]
Anglin became leader of the Green Party in the fall of 2008.[4] The validity of the meeting at which Anglin was elected was challenged by the party's previous leadership. Anglin presided over the dissolution of the party in July 2009. He attributed the party’s failure to file required financial returns with Elections Alberta to a refusal by the previous executive to hand over necessary documentation.[5] David Crowe, the previous CFO for the party, has denied Anglin’s allegation, and has provided documentation of what he made available to the party and when, indicating that all needed documentation was made available in a timely manner.[6]
