Elizabeth May

Wells goes over the top, and I guess he did it on purpose, because look, I’m writing about his ridiculous comparison. To compare one of Canada’s leading environmentalists, and the leader of the Green Party to traditionally pro-establishment/NDP and environment-ambivalent Buzz Hargrove, is frankly absurd. Channeling my inner-Wells, let me just say that Stephen Dion is [...]

"I like Rodger and, of course, I like Mark," she said. "But I'm related to Rodger through my sister-in-law. . . . You know, I'd really love to run against Peter MacKay . . . because he's a member of Harper's government . . . but I don't think I have enough time to run against Peter." Um... yeah. Does she know that the Green party got 1.6% of the vote in Mackay's riding last time? Having not even won a seat yet, how can she be so confident that she could topple a Cabinet Minister "if she had the time"? My impression of her has worsened ever since she started siding with the Liberals when they should be going out on their own.

If Stéphane Dion wins the Liberal leadership tonight, would he be willing to make a deal with Elizabeth May and the Green Party?A foresighted Liberal leader may begin to worry about strategic voting, and what the explosion of Green Party support in recent months will mean for the Liberals' chances of winning the next general election, and about maintaining power.If the Greens are likely to find significant support in the next election, the Liberals under Dion may just be willing to make a deal to ensure that strategic voting does now hand Stephen Harper the reigns of Ottawa yet again.

Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May, who is running in the London-North-Centre by-election, took part in the House of Commons' Environment and Sustainable Development Committee this morning.She will be appear on the CPAC French-language program Revue Politique tonight at 10pm ET / 7pm PT, where she will discuss her appearance, and will talk about the independence of the Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner.May held a press conference immediately after this morning's committee meeting, in which she accused the Conservative government of muzzling the federal environment commissioner, Johanne Gelinas. Auditor General Sheila Fraser's office acknowledged Thursday that it is reviewing whether Environment Commissioner Johanne Gelinas will continue to issue independent reports.

The Green Party is about “effective political change, not partisan political power,” said Elizabeth May the leader of the Green Party of Canada, to Wayne Chu from ProgressiveBloggers.ca who conducted the video interview. It’s unlikely that a Blogging Tory will produce a similar video with the Conservative candidate, given Stephen Harper’s order for her to have a short leash. And no, that’s not a dog joke, it’s just an expression.
