I am an advocate for a revenue neutral carbon tax to help to keep environmental impacts in check. Naturally, I look for party platforms that promote green. (I use the term “green” loosely here.)
The Green Party of Canada, which is led by Ms. Elizabeth May, is facing tough battles in this election. I argue, for whatever noble causes the party may have, the mere existence of the party is slowly killing the green movement. The party’s narrowly focused economic and social platforms appeals only to die-hard environmentalists, literally making the party unelectable and irrelevant to majority of Canadians.
To force all other electable parties to reintroduce environmental issues into their election platforms, the Green Party of Canada must go.
