The extremes would cancel out and form a normal canadian province. Queberta.

Yet they have 31% support, tied with the Liberals. It boggles the mind.

Fucking idiots, this may have been an argument before it was passed but now it's settled imo. Imagine these wingnuts revoking the marriage licenses of all those Canadians. Good platform to run on... if you're looking for a Liberal majority.

Yep, I seriously doubt there are enough liberal/ndp/bloc leaning christians out there to try and appeal to with the anti gay marriage angle, and its not like your going to win conservative votes with this since you already have them.

Last election one of the ppl running was asked what he thought of gay marriage, he said that in 5 years it wont even be an issue anymore, nodody will care, and he was right. Shit, isnt the provincial leader of the Bloc in quebec openly gay? Was front page news in one of the national papers a week or so ago.

The more the conservatives tie themselves down with the christian right, the less likely they are to be anything more then second best.

jester, this country is full of lefties. Three of the four national parties are left leaning, the conservatives (no surprise) are the only conservatives. Then you have people like Puff and the rest who will vote Green.

The christians who voted for the "liberal/ndp/bloc" likely won't stomach the conservatives.

that's enough inflamed rhetoric for one night

No argument on it being a left leaning country, my only thoughts on the conservatives taking a stance against the gay marriage resolution, is that they think they can sway the christian moderates more to their side by being the group that is trying to 'save the sanctity of marriage.'

sarcasm.

Dont think it will work, but thats the only justification I can see if they want to try and appeal to more people then they already do.

Follow this page, it's updated quite regularly. Notice the Greens are at 5%, not that I care either way but some do and I thought I would point it out.

Thanks for the link MQ.

Was browsing the various party sites, and spent some time reading the green party philosophies.

It seems that the people involved with the green party have actually dedicated some quality thought to what seems to be an enlightened approach to governance, if not the environment.

You mentioned earlier in this thread that it would destroy the canadian economy (or words to that effect).

In what sense do you mean this?

Post by **Massive Quasars** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 10:48 am

Jules, I was under the impression that the Greens would advocate socialist economic policy along with environmental protection.

From Wikipedia's page on the Greens:

The direction of the 2004 platform, while retaining similar ecological themes, shifted in other aspects from a radical-left to a centrist or even right-of-centre stance. An emphasis on a green tax shift which favoured reducing income and corporate taxes while increasing taxes on polluters and energy consumers created questions as to whether the Green Party was still on the left of the political spectrum, or was taking a more eco-capitalist approach.

Having read this, it turns out my belief may be dated. I'm quite pleased that they're turning to a sustainable approach of environmental protection, rather than straining the economy (or worse) to meet their environmental goals. Though the discussion on their policies is brief in the Wikipedia page, and my support of their reversal in position is not necessarily tacit support for the policies laid out on that webpage.

I'd also add that I have a tendency to speak in hyperbole in political threads, making sometimes specious intentionally inflammatory statements. I think it's apparent, but some may not pick up on it.

Since you're inquiring sincerely, I thought I'd qualify my posts in this thread and others.
