This topic goes well with the topic that I started in the Federal Issues forum.

They should just shut up and stick to their tree-huggin ways.
Since when do they care about 'civil liberties?'
Do they realize that by putting out that press release, they are aiding in the destruction of innocent tree limbs that must be cut in order to run internet cable lines?
Poor baby tree limbs.

The Green party is playing it very smart. Take away votes from the NDP in BC. Smart move on their part. I say let the socialists (although there is a strong right-wing in the Green Party) fight it out over a few seats in BC and may be Toronto.

Ha ha ha! You really think the Green Party has a STRATEGY? I honestly hope they don't. When parties like that 'strategise,' it always backfires miserably for them.
Remember when the NDP got the BRIGHT idea of jumping onto the Liberal bandwagon and joined in on the demonizing of the Conservatives? Well, it probably cost the NDP a good chunk of seats as they scared many of their voters straight to the Liberals waiting hands. Idiots. I once tried to tell that to one of Jack Layton's communications advisors... I didn't get very far though, he threw holy water on me and started screaming for Rev. Bill Blaike to save him. It was a very odd experience.

The Greens are getting 1.25$ per vote fro mteh last election, that means they can target a few key ridings and actually try and win some seats. They are not that far off the mark.
All the Green party wants is to be the new NDP and I say, let them fight. It is not like any Conservative has a chance in the ridings where they will focus their message.
