And by voting for the Green Party I am putting myself in the same boat again (voting for a party with which I disagree on many issues, just to get rid of another party with which I disagree). I don't actually believe that Green Party policies will substantively fix the problems that they seek to fix, and will, I think possibly make matters significantly worse for the working-class. Obviously, we can't debate this here, I am just saying that just because May is the best leader in the HOuse and the only one of the major leaders who really understands that there is a problem, that doesn't mean a priori she is on the right track to solving it. Thus, I find myself in the same boat in which I began.

The thing is that if we're to have any hope of preparing Canada for the environmental train wreck heading our way we have to decouple Canada from neoliberalism.

However, I wish that I could feel better about voting Green. As much as I appreciate May, the policies of the Green Party are far too invested in Market solutions for me.Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.com
