With just a few more weeks until Canadians go the polls the folks at Vote for Environment have been pushing hard to push their message to more than 1 MILLION Canadians. Of the 2 western countries that have decided to ignore Kyoto, Canada is one of them. If you’re concerned about the Conservative’s anti-environmental policy then this website is for you. [website no longer online]
All 3 of the other parties (Liberals, NDP, Greens) have strong(er) environmental policies, but which to vote for?
The Vote For Environment website makes it easy for you to decide. Simply type in your postal and take a look at which of the 3 parties can beat the Conservatives in your riding. As long as these 3 parties get enough seats, they should be able to forward a greener agenda.
Be sure to check out their sponsor, De Smog Blog. Their new website dedicated to the election and the one across the border analyzes each candidate’s platform on climate change and assigns them with a rating.
This Canadian election may not be as exciting as the US one, but the outcome may affect the future of humankind more critically than any previous elections.
The environment is all very well but which party is doing most about all the NOISE. Thats what I want to know.
Thanks for the link to that site. The postal code tool is a good idea. Unfortunately it’s almost as confused for my riding as I am…
The arts are another good reason to keep conservatives out. Did you see Margaret Atwood’s piece in the Globe and Mail? http://tinyurl.com/3hgeov
hehehe… Margaret’s article is pretty good. Yesterday “this hour has 22 minutes” laid it on pretty thick on Stevee for his slagging off of the arts. Hopefully we won’t see him as PM for much longer.
