  5. The Green Party talks a fiscally responsible platform but in reality is the opposite. They do not have to live with the results their platform infers. Classic example is B.C. where they oppose Trans Mountain and Rupert LNG. This position is costing $100’s of billions in lost investment and $10’s billions of lost government revenue both provincially and federally. These billions $’s would go a long way in paying for government services which are now being funded by deficit spending.
    32% of Canadians betweeen 40 and 64 years old have NO retirement savings. It is a crisis and yet people like the Greens get away with irresponsible platforms. Now in B.C. they direct the politics of the province by propping up the Dippers. Compound this with an effort to change the electoral process by instituting proportional representation.
    Canada is on the precipice of an epic fail. I no longer invest in Canada and have been advising my family not to do so since the Liebels were elected.

  6. Ha, some good comments, already.
    With the Great Global Warming Swindle seemingly slowly dying on the vine, there will soon be no reason for anyone but eco-tards to support this redundant party. No fears though, there’s still plenty of room left for signalling airheads in both the NDP and LPC.
    May is simply an unpleasant person to me, partly because I have an aversion to hateful shrews, partly because she is painfully difficult to look at and partly because she is an arrogantly proficient, career trough-dweller. Oh yeah, she also couldn’t debate her way out of a wet reusable paper bag, almost always resorting to insults, personal attacks and general bitchery.
    I have zero doubt that she unloads this same angry contempt on some of her own staff when she feels challenged, too. Hiring the people to investigate herself, herself, seems right up her alley to me. But, I suspect the average greentard doesn’t even care.

  8. This reminds me of something that happened at the tech school where I used to teach.
    Many years ago, the contract for the instructors was up for renegotiation and the administration made an offer. The teaching staff voted on it and the offer was rejected. That meant that it had to go to arbitration. The arbritrator turned out to be the negotiator for the administration. (I have no idea how that came about!)
    It came as no surprise to anyone that the arbitrator sided with the administration and we got stuck with a contract that few people, if any, liked.

  9. I have ignored May since addlepated rant at that Ottawa press dinner when Lisa Raitt strong-armed her of the podium. With that implosion, she should have disappeared forever from the Canadian political scene.
    Say what you will about Harper, Mulcair or Trudeau but if any of them had pulled that stunt they would have been toast.
    Double standards? You bet.
    (Of course it might also be that May is of such little political consequence that her actions – however erratic – matter not one jot.)

  10. Much like Obama’s FBI and DOJ … the watchers are being watched … by themselves. Circle jerk doesn’t begin to describe it.

  11. “Say what you will about Harper, Mulcair or Trudeau but if any of them had pulled that stunt they would have been toast.”
    I respectfully disagree. Harper would have been absolutely crucified by the media. Mulcair might have been admonished slightly but all would have been forgiven shortly thereafter. As for Trudeau …. had he pulled off a classless stunt such as this, the media would have buried it deep or spun it into something entirely different and benign.
    I agree with your assessment of May. She is of absolutely no consequence and is merely, as Canadian Observer put it so succinctly, “an arrogantly proficient, career trough-dweller”.

  12. The only arguably useful service provided by the Green Party is to pull more whackos from the NDP and LPC than from the CPCs. Other than that, they simply provide a habitat for amateur totalitarians driven by religiously held beliefs they hold more important than anyone elses preference for alternative thought, opinion, freedom, science and prosperity so much so as to requiring the coercive power of the state to enforce.

  15. I remember the old muckraking ‘Frank’ magazine I think it was, spilled the beans about the may fambly owing a restaurant in Nova Scotia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_May#Early_life_and_family
    from the link:
    “On moving to the province, the May family purchased a landlocked schooner, the Marion Elizabeth which had been used as a gift shop and restaurant since the mid 1950s. They operated this establishment from 1974 until 2002.”
    the Frank story was that these delightful mays were dumping RAW SEWAGE from the restaurant straight into the ocean.
    yessiree, a real triple AAA hypocrite regarding the ‘environment’.
    may is a frustrated ignoramous shrew, bereft of ethics and even common courtesy. the best thing that ever happened to the greens.

  17. You must have watched a different video,I saw no “strongarming” of Elizabeth May,but a fellow female member of the Parliamentary club gently lead one of her sisters off the stage before she completely destroyed her career.
    I lost all respect for Lisa Raitt for that idiotic move,as she assisted one of Stephen Harper’s worst enemies in politics,rather than let her crash and burn.
    That action by Raitt gives credence to the oft repeated claim that the whole place is one exclusive club,and their disagreements in the House during Question Period are just theater for the masses.

  18. hmmm. kinda like the law profession. ‘my esteemed colleague’ bla bla bla.
    (psst, Roy, handball after today’s session, nudge nudge wink wink)
    ‘adversarial system’ indeed. the REAL target is the schmucks who provide the fuel to keep the train rolling over the uninitiated.
    ‘ignrance ub da law hiss no hexkuse’. really? the most COMPLEX social construct ever invented? cases take YEARS to resolve
    but we’re supposed to be BORN knowing how to navigate it?

  19. “In 1988, she resigned on principle when the Minister granted permits for the Rafferty-Alameda Dams in Saskatchewan because of no environmental assessment.”
    May was not wrong.. The Alameda dam changed the water available in the area,,, severe shortage in the Moose Mtns & because it does not hold water (Leaks) severe flooding of Devils Lake, North Dakota… It was/is a huge mistake….

  20. A few years earlier while working under the Minister of Environment, she repeatedly leaked information to the ENGOs blockading and protesting (logging) for the creation of South Moresby National Park. Had she not been on the side of “Green Angels”, she could (and should) have been fired and charged with breach of confidentiality.

  21. I like to think of her, when I think of her at all, as Bucky May. That girl could eat apples through a picket fence.
    She is FUGLY. Inside and out. Schtoopid too. Almost as dumb as Zoolander. Mind you, Zoolander is at least pretty.
