Not Thomas Mulcair. Nor any of the other politicians currently lobbing this political football back and forth. If you want to meet a politician who will engage in real debates and real conversations, the only person doing that consistently is Elizabeth May. We need real solutions not political posturing and poll pleasing chess games that result in acrimony and antagonism within our federation.
Compare and contrast Ms. May’s approach with that of Mr. Mulcair:
“We do not in the Green Party focus on one sector at the expense of others, we’re looking for solutions that make sense for the whole and indeed Alberta is a big part of the solution that lies ahead…” ~ Elizabeth May, Calgary Enterprise Forum, November 2009.
You can see numerous examples of Ms. May’s consistent, principled approach on the Oil Sands on YouTube in various venues where she tirelessly debates even the likes of Ezra Levant.
We need sensible, sane, and honest discussion on this issue. I invite other like-minded politicians to join Ms. May in a chorus of sanity on the Oil Sands.
