    I’m done with the NDP and Liberals and will be switching to Green in next election.

      The Greens are a bunch of crackpots with conservative policies who think wifi is killing us. They’ve had like 20 years to build a sensible eco-centric party, and we’re in the midst of a civilization-threatening global climate disaster, and they’ve done jack shit to build support around that. They’re just not serious about politics and getting the exposure needed to galvanize public support around key topics. Instead, we had Elizabeth May (who I voted in as MP) stay on for way too long and then the party leadership degenerated into infighting.

      There needs to be a second “green” party that takes key issues serious, has liberal social and fiscal policies, prioritizes the environment (and the crises of global warming we’re in), and sheds all the weird fringe shit.
