A GP/LPoC merger actually makes sense and is doable, relatively speaking. And if E. May ran for leader of either a merged entity or the LPoC itself I would be willing to use all my skills and abilities to crush…CRUSH…anyone in her path. Seriously. This is the best bit of empty political speculation

Maybe I’m starting to sound like a shameless Elizabeth May fanboy but that’s only because…I’m a shameless Elizabeth May fanboy! How can you not be when she gets up in the House, as she did Monday, and makes an epic speech like this? The main point of her “point of order” is

I am a strong believer in the Green Party. It plays an essential role. Environmentalists cannot afford to patiently wait around for traditional parties to see the light and pass the necessary laws to avert catastrophe. That being said, Canadians have been slow to embrace the Green Party, and that

Wildrose is under attack! The same people that caused the Liberal Party of Canada to be in power for 13 uninterrupted years now have Wildrose in their crosshairs. They want nothing more than to see the Redford PCs re-elected to impose their big government knows best, ivory tower views on

Miscellaneous material to end your week. – Sure, it’s a plus to know that Canada’s military is ready and willing to leap into action to protect what matters most to the government of the day. Now if only that meant something other than serving as political operatives to protect the

It’s hard to imagine anything more petty that the Harper Tory government’s decision to keep Elizabeth May from giving her short tribute to Vaclav Havel in the House of Commons this afternoon. Surely the morons responsible for this ironic outrage understand that it would not have been news had they
