No campaign website, party candidate page, party release or news report naming Javad Shushtarian was found on 2026-09-30. The BC Green Party's candidates page lists 15 candidates and does not include him. The address bcgreens.ca/candidates-2026/javad-shushtarian/ returned HTTP 404, and none of the party's pages and releases updated in September 2026 names him. VoteMate's page for Burnaby East lists only Rohini Arora. The addresses javadshushtarian.ca and javadshushtarian.com did not answer. A LinkedIn profile under the same name returned only a sign-in page, and no page ties it to this candidacy, so nothing from it is used. His biography, work, past roles, own commitments, all-candidates meetings in the district, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. No published photo tied to the campaign was found, so the page has no portrait. The questionnaire has not been sent.
