It wasn't him that linked it (intentionally)... it was a DIRECT QUOTE from the Calgary Herald news story.

You're accusing him of doing something he didn't do.

I have voted for a number of parties actually. I've voted for more than I haven't.

OK, fair enough, but the linked comment is basically out of context at this point.

I have commented before that I would hope that the federal government would spend some political capital and force the provinces to capitulate to get a pipeline done. Looking at the latest information though, that's not prudent and I recognize that now (which is unfortunate because personally some of that seems ridiculous).

Except it's not, but if you want, complain to the Herald.

I'm no fan of May, but I can't help but respect if she follows through and steps down after her party went crazier than usual:

Have you ever read the Green Party's official party platform? There is or was a bunch of weird MRA crap in there too for a while.

I avoid Green Party idiocy the same way I ignore Breitbart idiocy. Crazies be crazy.

I believe its officially enunciated as: 'cray cray.'

I could be mistaken though.
