Everyone who has not checked out the Green Party should do so. They have some fresh ideas and deserve a chance!

Green Party of Canada Homepage

Read up about them, and post your thoughts and opinions!

I actually wouldn't mind the Green Party to win an election, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Yet, I think it's a good idea to give them your vote because it will help them prepare for another election later on.

Don't do that please... that's the biggest problem... people don't want to vote for anyone so they don't go out.... that's how the Liberals will get back in.

In the last federal election over 26 parties ran. Surely out of this there is someone you could vote for - even the independent. But you gotta get out a vote to make sure that change happens. Your vote is important.... my grandfather was killed in WWII so you could have this right.... please appreciate how lucky you are to have it.!

Being an Albertan... I refuse to vote green. I guess it can be parly attributed to the crappy Green Party representative that came to our school, he was an idiot and it seemed like he was just regurgitating information that he heard from the higher ups.

singing Barney songs it would be great, but we won't do that either. If we did it would have as much effect as voting Green.

WEll if teh Single Transferable Vote referendum passes in the BC provincial election, which I fervently hope it does, we will see a Green Party candidates in office soon. They probably won't form teh government, and I don't think I'd want them too, but they've been around long enough, and they have enough of the popular vote, that I think they deserve some say.

I'm an environmetnlaists myself, but I prefer market-based solutions to environmetnla issues, whereas teh Green Party still has more of a socialist appraoch -- regulation, moral susasion.

I'm one of those, "If you vote for either of the two biggest parties you must be a nitwit. so vote NDP because when they are able to, as now, ride on a minority party's back we'll actually get a bit of reform happening, but the Green Party doesn't have a hope in Hell of achieving that position in any forseeable future." type of people. That is why I'm the ready to go organise and run an office, be the official photographer, put signs together, make calls and record radio commercials in my studio for the party kind of guy.

I went to a function( Photographed it actually.) in Belleville during the last election, which was called Foodstock. The Green candidate was, I believe, named Tom Lawson. He pretty much was of the same opinion as I am; Green is nice, but if you want your vote to count on an agenda that isn't far removed from the Green's, vote NDP. If you want to spend a buck and change on something worthwhile donate a can of food to the needy.

Some fine day perhaps the reality will be that the two big parties are NDP and Green. I'm not holding my breath though.
