There may be a very familiar name on an upcoming election ballot around the North Okanagan. Former long time M-P Darrel Stinson says his health is doing better and he's missing politics. The 62 year old Stinson is not ruling out at a return at some level. "If I got the green light (from doctors and his wife) and everything was a go, I would run because I think there's so much you can really do in this country, to help the people." He says if not at the federal level, he'd also consider running for provincial or municipal politics. Stinson left the MP's office in 2006 after 13 years due to a battle with cancer. He served under the Reform, Alliance and Conservative parties.He says his health is better.It's pretty good. I'm not going to complain about it."Meantime, Stinson says current MP Colin Mayes is doing a "fair job", and despite differences while in office, he calls Stephen Harper one of the best prime ministers Canada's ever had.
