Elizabeth May Releases Green Party Platform

[usernameisrobert]

the green party might have a chance if it were not led by elizabeth may...

she makes idiotic statements, idiotic suggestions...and comes across as an idiot...

the party should consider its leadership...

[PicKlesUnLtD]

All the people throwing the words " socialism, communism and tree-huggers" need to wake the fuck up and realize that the green party is less economically and socially left then the NDP. They are not a communist party and the only way they can be considered socialist is that they support all Canadians not just the ones with money, they do not plan to take away all your freedoms and rights. On the other hand they would free us from the prison of fear imposed by Harper's gvt. They get my 2 bucks!

[jkjkjij22]

i will vote green

[Theperfectlifechanel]

fuckin dumb

green party needs to take some economic classes.

-less government intervention

-privatize air rights and pollution caps

-let the market work

-slash government

-20000$ living expense, after that, 25% income tax on anything above this amount.

no taxes on rich people. zero corporate tax

-no minimum wage

your welcome. I challenge any rational person to debate this platform.

@Theperfectlifechanel

i can sum up my challenge in 7 words:

HOW IS THAT WORKING THE FOR U.S.A.??????

LOL

(and its "you're" ... you are = you're)!!!

[tawnabawna]

im voting for Naiomi Finseth (conservative), she will be running for prime minister in about 10 years

[omega4chimp]

They should be second place to conservatives instead if liberlas ill give yeah that.

[Dealit707]

TREE HUGGERS ARE SOOOO WEIRD.

[chshamus3xw]

@Dealit707 What? You're weird for thinking that people who support our environment are weird. What do you live in? A house made of stone? Maybe you don't think your kids or grandkids deserve to have anything made of wood either. Well, somebody's got to start trying to maintain some sort of ecological balance. Unless of course you're of the "I don't give a rats #$@ about anybody but me" group. Then I understand. But please don't spawn more like you okay? Some of us do enjoy nature and the trees.

[SpencerM1A1]

they sound really greasy..

[Fatcoolgoose]

i dont care who wins im always voting for them I LOVEE YOU GREEN PARTY!!

[jaimephysique]

Why Green sounds so like Red? I have to say Green Party is more radical than china communist party in many ways.

[nimportekoiTheory]

The platform essentially increases the national debt. It's about scaring people into voting for them.

[Anghellik9]

not bad.

[jeffms2]

Green Party = Communism

[PokemonTrainer09]

I think the green party is actaully doing really well

[jeffms2]

@PokemonTrainer09 That's because you're stupid!

[justanoldman1]

After reading the comments of this site, the only inteligent sounding person is peakyone. The rest of you are idiots.

[justanoldman1]

This year the summer has been so cold and wet that the crops are not growing.

This global warming scam is just that, we sure could use a little warming up here in Canada.

[NickBlackDIN]

@justanoldman1 Global warming in itself is real, but just like terrorism, it's blown way out of preporsion so that people can make more money out of it using fear.

[justanoldman1]

@NickBlackDIN OK but instead of worrying about CO2 how about we concentrate on cleaning up polution like the city of Victoria dumping raw sewage into the Pacific ocean.

[NickBlackDIN]

@justanoldman1 fair enough, there are a lot of things we have to clean up.

[robearl1983]

global warming is a scam..shes nothing but a new world order scumbag.

[peakyone]

Elizabeth May is a lair, ill mannered and rude.

The green party has outlived it's need as the major parties have green platforms.

Nobody need this loudmouth, she is to busy fighting against Mr. Harper than fighting to clean up polution.

She is nothing but a bad joke.

[inquisitum]

Hey peakyone - News Flash the Green Party is just getting going here in Canada - the setbacks in this 2008 election will only make the party stronger - If anyone has outlived their relevance it is the NDP. Attacking the international corporations with threats of massive tax increases will not get positive results ... inviting ideas, innovation and cooperation will.

[peakyone]

I am sorry to tell you this but even the deputy leader quit because of May. She is two faced and lost the direction the green party was suppost to go. Instead of sticking to the enviroment, she went after our Prime Minister.

The way she did it was with harsh words and ill manners and that is not a real leader.

Sorry but the major parties now have green plans so the green party is no longer needed.

To bad you didn't have a good leader, you might have gotten a seat in parliment.

[peakyone]

I do however agree with you on your assisment of the NDP, which stands for no dumber people.

I used to like the green party before May, she was just too much for me. She is a know it all and she doesn't.

I will tell you one thing, she will never be invited to the debate again. She was a liberal is disgise and it turned a lot of people off.

Don't waste your vote next time, support a real party, hopefully the conservatives.

[jeffms2]

@inquisitum You left wing idiots! You sound like a cbc reporter. How can setbacks make something stronger you ignoramus! The green party will never have cooperation with corporations because their ideas are totally socialist and anti-free. People who own companies don't support parties that want to tax them more so they are forced to pay their employees less.

[inquisitum]

Jeffms2 - There is no reason to be rude or insulting. It sounds like you think "socialism" is a bad thing. Is a civilized society that takes care of all its people, not just the privileged minority really a bad thing?, I would call that an improvement over the archaic dog eat dog, corrupt power system we are forced to endure today. We are free to do "what" that you are defending? Free to be a wage/tax slave or free to spend 50-60 years paying off the banks compound interest on the family home?

[jeffms2]

Yes there is reason to be rude you jerk! Socialism is evil!!! Don't you tell me what to do in my own home you socialist moron. You would sign away your freedom at the first chance! If you don't like the freedom that you are so against, than leave the country, we all would be better off! By the way way, the only "civilized societ(ies) that takes care of all its people" are communist you stupid idiot. Why don't you move to China? They'll take great care of you.

[inquisitum]

Somehow the concept of civil discourse and debate passed you by. whatever, you have proven that you are the fool, unable to see that societies are judged on how they treat their poorest and most vulnerable. I feel sorry for those that actually have to "deal" with you in the flesh. Sinking to unprovoked personal attacks is childish. BTW you obviously watch too much American TV try to read something for some balance. PS in case you haven't noticed China is winning the capitalism game too. lol

[canascot02]

Yes the green party are socialists. No they aren't communists. Your talking about the far left, far far left, the extreme. And you truly are incorrect in regards to only communist countries having civilized societies in which all citizens are provided with living essentials and other social services. Many of the scandinavian countries such as Finland, Sweden, and Norway are countries with the World's best quality of living. And the USA is way down there.... capitalists like yourself.

[pollyannacowgurl]

*sigh* and the sad thing is although we need a candidate like u to get in, ppl are not going to understand this until its too late.

[AlleslevConservative]

In teh beaches, a vote for Caroline Alleslev is more likley to make a diference than a vote for teh green guy.

This comment is NOT approved by Caroline Alleslev and is the opinion of the video editor only. But a good opinion nevertheless.

[thenyouwin]

Elizabeth May, God Bless and keep you, I thank you as a Canadian for your bravery, I am deeply moved by it. I hope I will not fail to follow.

[mikefastener]

@thenyouwin Thank goodness we have Mr. Harper fighting this American weirdo, Liz May (a proven lier) We are all so proud of Mr. Harper!

[davebagler]

What an excellent platform, you've got my vote!
