My Point of View: Elizabeth May, Green Party, should play ‘Let’s Make a Deal’

She’s now going to be seen on TV during the Leader’s debate thanks to a variety of factors including the following:

A loud hue and cry (“Unfair! Unfair!”) was heard across the land on May’s behalf


Prime Minister Harper and NDP leader Jack Layton folded up like cheap tents, as they should - because they’re cheap tents

The media consortium in charge of debates woke up to reality

And now, Elizabeth should wake up to reality as well, realize she has a snowball’s chance of even forming a recognizable opposition party in the next 80 years and that the environment can’t wait that long just to hear her party’s voice in the Commons.


She should advance her environmental agenda by partnering with the Liberals.

[Layton should do the same but he sees himself atop the Big House.]


By creating links with the one major party that actually cares about the state of our air, land and water she would do more for the environment than almost any other person in Canada.

On TV, or with a few seats in the Commons - not so much, if anything.
