DIS_GUSTING

In the near non-existant coverage of the leadership race of the Green Party of Canada I came across this this morning

http://www.therecord.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=record/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1150408213932&call_pageid=1024322085509&col=1024322199564

Specifically that she's runing on behalf of Stephen Harper's children because "You're just not a good father if you do what he's doing," said May, the former executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada."

I think that's the lowest attack between sitting and or aspiring politicians I've ever heard. I really hope David Chernushenko wins the leadership race. May, while she has been in the past a strong voice for the environment, has in the past few years just become a loud mouth spouting off anything that happens to fly into her head regarless if is factual or not, hurtful or not, or constructive or not.

Elizabeth May has shown by these callous, childish and petty comments that should she be elected to lead the GPC that she will single handely vapourize any gains the Greens have made in acquiring wider and deeper support.

For shame.

Cheers,

  • Yeah I love the quote
    "We don't have to move to where we think they are. We'll tell them where we are and they'll run toward us"

    Obviously, communication is not her strong point. While I understand the idea she's trying to get across, this is surely one of the worst ways to put it in words...

  • Oh yes... she's become even more of a wing nut recently. People also forget that while even 'green' groups hailed the montreal climate conference last fall as a success, May and Martin nearly derailed the entire thing by inviting Bill Clinton to come and speak. The US was threatening to withdraw and its not as if climate change wasn't already a sensitive issue with them.

    This woman has no judgement and is nothing but a green chavista!

    Cheers,
