Elizabeth May pitches Greens as holding balance of power in minority government

Last Updated Monday, September 16, 2019 11:46AM EDTto voters Monday as one not of a new government, but as one capable of holding the balance of power responsibly.

"I'm running to elect as many of these wonderful candidates as is possible so that a caucus of Green MPs can assist Canadians, particularly in a minority situation." The party says it would ban hydraulic fracturing to extract fuels, approve no new pipelines, coal, or oil or gas drilling, and cancel the Trans Mountain pipeline. By 2030 the Greens want 100 per cent of Canada's electricity to come from renewable sources and to ban the sale of passenger vehicles with combustion engines by that year.Along with aggressive environmental targets, the Green platform also promises universal pharmacare, eliminating tuition, and a guaranteed livable income.

Except the’s already said she won’t support the Conservatives. And who is she going to prop up with 4% of the vote?

Let's hope not! Weve seen what a disaster that mix has brought the Country in BC ... 2 radical Greens influencing safe pipeline choice in a Province where the population is in favour on them. Scandalous politics

Elizabeth May and the Green Party to hold balance of power in a Minority Government ? 👇

The fact that Greens can vote however they want makes them effectively independents with environmental concerns. There were more indie MPs than Green and PPC ones when writ dropped too. Really not a credible party structure. Progressives better to back NDP to ensure minority gov.

Maybe we could have the election first😆

Really with all that one seat? Ya think...

She already said she wouldn’t support any of them. What’s the deal?

Just for the record, the NDP was the first party to reveal its platform, and did so back in mid June of this year, and currently it is the NDP that is poised to hold the balance of power should there be a minority govt

That's definitely not happening. Even Bernier will get more seats than green.

How does this alcoholic get to her events? Does she walk, ride a bicycle or use OIL to fly?

Women is bat shit crazy .

Oh wouldn’t that be great.. back to Middle Ages

Which Greens? The 9/11 Truthers? The anti-smart-metre tin hat freedom fighters? Or--everybody's favorite--the burn-Israel Nazis? gmafb

It’s too bad she’s nuts

The woman that believes WiFi does harm to children's brains and should be banned from schools... perfect.

She very well could be the kingmaker.

Big fantasies like the one she has about the economy when all the industries are abolished.

let get you home Liz,

drunken Liz

They will still be useless when Sheer and the Conservatives win a majority.

Yuuuup.... just like in BC. Guess my opinion on that! 😡
