Green - Liberal Alliance in Central Nova

Visit http://CanuckPolitics.com for more.

April 13, 2007 - Green Party leader Elizabeth May and Liberal leader Stéphane Dion announce a deal between their parties not to run candidates against each other in their home ridings. Dion supports including May in the televised election debate, and pledges to fight for her in Central Nova during the next election.

May compares Stephen Harper to Geroge Bush, saying she supports Dion for Prime Minister in order to prevent Harper from being re-elected, vowing to avoid a scenario like the last US Presidential election, where many claim Ralph Nader helped re-elect Geroge Bush.

NPD leader Jack Layton objects, saying it is anti-democratic, while Conservative Monty Solberg says its a sign of weak leadership.

jwlnler, I agree we won't know how what all this means until the next election, but watch Question Period if you think Dion and the Liberals haven't been harsh in their criticism!

Unfortunately most of the criticism is based on intentional falsehoods and red herrings - They're always telling us what Harper is thinking, or intending to do, instead of what he actually says and does. I've seen no evidence of a hidden agenda, yet the Liberals persist in making that claim to score cheap points.

If Jack Layton helped to elect a conservative I thank him.

Jack Layton & Louise Lorefice want to give Central Nova electors the choice of voting NDP. By doing this, they've more than likely taken away our chance of getting Green Party leader Elizabeth May as our MP, by splitting up the left votes, and ensuring a stronger Conservative government with Peter MacKay as our MP. Thanks for respecting my choices, Jack Layton. Thanks a million.

The conservatives have done a good job of running the country so I will vote for them.

The green are just too crazy about global warming for me. Mankind totally accounts for about 3% of the total CO2 released and Canada's portion is so small that even if we stopped everything forever, it would not register on the scale.

With that in mind I find the green way over the top and could hurt the country.

Or she is aware of just how bad the cons will be for this country, and is aware that splitting voters between liberals and green could let the cons back in. and she didn't really attack layton but says he needs to look past parties to what will be best for canada in this case NOT letting the cons back in.

[Jesusplant]

and who are you supporting?

[roycom22]

May compares this to Ralph Nader and Al Gore versus George Bush. She then goes on to attack the NDP's and Jack Layton. Who is she calling George Bush - Harper, Layton, or anyone who runs against? This alliance has only made the Green Party look as dirty as the Liberal Party.

Words like liar and fraud should never be used by anyone. This just shows poor manners.

[cookerg]

When he is campaigning, Harper is a candidate, not the Prime Minister. If he or any other candidate lies or promotes fraudulent policies they need to be called on it.

[peakyone]

The concept of the green party is out dated as the major parties all have green plans. Elizabeth May is the most ill mannered person I have ever seen on TV. Dion runs a close second to her.

What we need is more respect for each other and not the name calling we hear from these two. We don't use words like liar and fraud when we are talking about our Prime Minister, who ever he is. We must respect the office if not the man. The liberals are still the same old party that grabbed our money.
