Yeah, and again I think May is to blame for that. I remember in high school we had to do a done on who we would vote for at the time. This was during the 2004 election just before the Liberals were reduced to a minority. There was a guy in the class who usually conflicted with me on most political issues. He was a staunch NDP supporter and I was supporting the Conservatives.
When the time came to present our projects we were both stunned that each of us had chosen the Greens. They met my criteria for economic policies and social policies, and he ended up sacrificing some of his views of economy because he liked their social policies.
Anyways, before I ramble too much, I think when May was elected leader the party really started to drift in the wrong direction. It caused me to lose quite a bit of interest in them and I won't even be voting for them this time around, which is saying a lot considering how much time I spent volunteering for them during the last election.
