765...Why So Hard On Elizabeth May?

I really enjoy it when you take time to comment and I especially enjoy it when you take time to sign your name to said comment. This is what the great Scott Tribe asked me in a comment attached to Post 760:

I'm kind of amused you're going after Elizabeth May so hard.
She's not the leader of the Conservatives.. or of the NDP,
nor does she have a seat. Why do you hold such an antipathy towards her?

As a Liberal who is environmetally [sic] conscious, despite
the Green Shift's failure, I don't mind having her as an ally.

I go after her for the same reason that fighter pilots liked to shoot up weather balloons and Zeppelins. It is easy.

I too am a Liberal, big time Liberal but frankly I don't find the Green Party very progressive; they are truly neo-cons/fascists. Read their national platform; it is very Lennonist, as in John "Everybody Is Wrong But Me" Lennon.

In news that will make Lowell Green and the CFRA Nation happy, Tiffany Crawford and Peter O'Neil report in this morning's Montreal Gazette that the World Wildlife Federation ranks Canada eighth out of the eight countries that make up the G8 in terms of reacting to climate change.

"Nowhere else on Earth do fewer people steward more resources, yet Canada now stands dead last among the G8 nations in protecting our shared home from the threat of dangerous climate change," said foundation spokesman Keith Stewart.

The big bugaboo is the ongoing work in northern Alberta on exploiting the tarsands which has dire consequences for the environment according to the 2009 Climate Scorecard.

May be the Green Shift wasn't such a bad idea, eh?
