The party announced his candidacy on September 25, 2026, in a release that also named its candidates for North Coast-Haida Gwaii and New Westminster-Coquitlam. In the release he says he has lived in Terrace for five years. The party describes him as a community organizer, writer and PhD candidate at Simon Fraser University who studies the economics and politics of the LNG industry. The party also says he received a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship in 2025. voche.me has not checked the degree or the award with Simon Fraser University or the scholarship program. The David Suzuki Foundation lists him as co-author, with Youssef Bouchi, of its October 2025 report on B.C. LNG. He writes columns for Canadian Dimension, and in September 2026 Business in Vancouver published his opinion piece on the province's gas royalty revenue. BC Whitewater, a volunteer-run river group, lists him as vice-president on its board. He was not a candidate in 2024. In that election Claire Rattée of the Conservative Party won Skeena with 6,243 votes (51.20 percent), ahead of Sarah Zimmerman of the BC NDP with 5,419 (44.44 percent). Both are on the 2026 ballot in Skeena again. Read the sources Promises / Commitments and evidence ## Commitments and the available evidence.

No campaign website of his own was found; nickgottlieb.ca and nickgottlieb.com do not answer. His party candidate page lists no personal social media accounts. A Bluesky account named Nick Gottlieb describes a writer who studies LNG, but no page ties it to this candidacy and it holds no campaign post up to 2026-09-30, so nothing from it is used. His PhD candidacy at Simon Fraser University and his 2025 Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship are stated by the party, and the PhD also by his own author note; voche.me has not checked either with the university or the scholarship program. The party says he helped found the Squamish Resilience Network and the Skeena Local Action Network; no page from either group naming him was found. His writing in Canada's National Observer was not read, because that site returned HTTP 403.
