By Dave Bagler, on August 29, 2011, at 11:25 pm I had a great time this weekend at Capital Pride. I've been participating for a few years now and it's fun to see how the Green Party contingent grows each year, and how it at least seems like the crowd is growing every year. I liked the new ro… . . . → Read More: Dave Bagler’s blog: Capital Pride + a Baby Squirrel

By Dave Bagler, on March 31, 2011, at 5:47 pm The broadcasters have denied the will of a clear majority of Canadians by barring Elizabeth May from the televised leaders debates. They made the same mistake in 2008 but it was over turned by a wave of public outrage. Its déjà vu, the broadcasters m… . . . → Read More: Dave Bagler’s blog: Help Get EMay in the Debates
By Scott in Montreal, on March 28, 2011, at 1:26 am I am a big Green supporter and believe they have the best platform. Dagnammit, I joined the party and contribute a few bucks to show that I care. But I also live in Quebec (and on the island of Montreal) and my local candidate both:a) is a relative lightweight, and b) has no hope of winning, but might garner enough votes to keep my second choice from winning.

By Scott in Montreal, on May 28, 2010, at 12:03 am Could you just imagine a headline like that? Only if you accept the fact that the federal Liberal party is finished as a viable political entity.

By Canadian silver bug/Green Assassin Brigade, on March 26, 2010, at 12:38 pm I’m one of many GPC members who believe we are often too negative and harp too much on Climate Change.
