Guy running for the Greens seems like a decent guy and I understand where their hearts are but man I loath Elizabeth May and the Greens. It takes a special kind of egomania to sap votes from parties with any chance of governing that might even consider the environment so you can have your 5 minutes of fame. Even worse how she parachuted in to Gulf Islands so she could get a job for herself after trying to parachute in to London North in 06.
Feels sort of like Canada's permanent Ross Perot to me. I know they only had 3.9% of the vote last election, but if they ever pick up steam the Conservatives will be in power for the next decade at least.
Ya I know people are going to claim disgruntled conservatives vote for them too - maybe a few but that's mostly bullcrap. With their platform on things like cracking down on polluters, national daycare and legalized marijuana they're poaching the vast majority of their voters from other left parties or people who weren't really very conservative to begin with.
