Elizabeth May says she wants a minority government in Ottawa so Greens can influence climate change policies

In British Columbia, the Greens’ three seats are keeping NDP Leader John Horgan’s minority government in office. In New Brunswick, the minority Tory government can turn to either the Greens or the righter-wing People’s Alliance for support on confidence votes.

“We will negotiate with anyone, we will talk to everyone, but we won’t compromise on climate action,” she says. She says this campaign feels very different, with a “groundswell” of support, and she is holding out hope this one won’t end with Green backing collapsing on voting day as Canadians turn to parties with better chances of winning.Nik Nanos, founder of Nanos Research, says that is always a risk, even though the Greens are polling better than ever.

And by “working together” she specifically means to slow climate change with policies that drastically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, don’t build any more oil pipelines and replace fossil fuels with renewable energy as fast as possible.But even within her own party, there is a dispute erupting about how fast that can happen.

globepolitics Conservative government needed to block ecoterrorists!

nspector4 globepolitics It worked well in Germany. The Greens have forced Germans to spend $1 trillion (€580 b) for very expensive electricity (€0.30/kwhr) with emissions being 10 times higher than Ontario.

nspector4 globepolitics What you want? What I want TrudeauMustGo

nspector4 globepolitics Well, when you are the greatest losing party in Canadian history. Of course you want a minority government that’s the only way you’ll ever do anything

globepolitics

globepolitics Not going to happen sorry

globepolitics Yes things are working out so great in BC with Horrigan selling his soul to be in power to the greens - not....!!!!

globepolitics I have been fearing this result but who would want a minority government , nothing gets done we've already had 4 yrs of nothing cant take another 4

globepolitics And what else will her anti Semitic nominees want?

globepolitics That's what we have had for the last 4 years is her influence on the Trudeau Liberals

globepolitics The absolute worst, most ineffective form of govt is a minority. The only thing worse would be the balance of power being held by the eco-witch. She would tear our country apart trying to one-up McKenna!

globepolitics Liz speak politely,not what you WANT,...what you would like...as in you would like to be a Liberal.I was observing.

globepolitics Minority government results in nothing gets done

globepolitics Of course she does we in BC are watching the green coalition disaster daily .

globepolitics

globepolitics

globepolitics

globepolitics She may get the minority but she will have NO influence! She will just hand Ottawa to the CONservatives!

globepolitics Anti-nuclear liar and coward who stands for hollow principles and nothing else. I'd rather Libertarian be the swing. But go on.

globepolitics Just say no

globepolitics

globepolitics She lost credibility when she hired Kinsella... Big No!

globepolitics I fail to see the relevance of this party, they are trying to own a narrative that many embrace elsewhere. It is a one trick pony party with zero economic governance credibility. cdnpoli

globepolitics And we will be back at the polls in 18 months. And how is she going to vote on other issues, side with Conservatives.

globepolitics Send the Green Party to China.

globepolitics Then the whole freaking country will be as messed up as BC

globepolitics Climate change is not a top priority for Canadians wrongfully imprisoned in China or farmers/cattlemen blocked from selling to China or hardworking LEGAL Canadians funding ILLEGALS & billions sent to third world Dictators or Chinese Govt laughing at wimp Trudumb making /

globepolitics Oh shit. Another Conservative minority supported by the Liberals? How much influence did May have during the Liberal-supported Harper minority years? I’d guess... zero?

globepolitics Joke of the day 🤣🤣🤣

globepolitics You can always Win more green seats?

globepolitics Does she not recognize a majority government would give her much more control to influence policy? Way to have ambition... My vote would most certainly be going elsewhere.

globepolitics You want a green planet? Do away with humans...all of them!

globepolitics We all WANT things that most can not achieve? However GREEN is good as long as it’s this green 💴! Any other green? Get rid of humans!

globepolitics 'so Greens can influence climate change policies' Well that could be interesting... cdnpoli

globepolitics If you’re in favour of Alberta secession then this is the outcome you’re praying for.

globepolitics Works great in BC!

globepolitics Green Party.... yeah sure...

globepolitics Another reason to vote Tory!

globepolitics Yukkkk

globepolitics

globepolitics A great way to economically ruin our country !

globepolitics ElizabethMay Not going to happen Liz.. no plans and no place in Cdn politics. Btw - have some chocolate milk..

globepolitics I want ElizabethMay to explain how she can stomach being in cahoots with Warren Kinsella. A hateful and lying piece of dirt! nevergreens

globepolitics Autocorrect messed up your title, rather then saying “completely destroy Canada’s economy...” it said “influence climate policies...” i guess both comments have the same meaning.

globepolitics This space cadet should be banished from politics.

globepolitics Wow, We will be saved!

globepolitics I am all for helping fix climate change, but if the greens ever got a majority we would all be struggling more then we are now we would be broke.

globepolitics I think her policies too kooky.

globepolitics Then she should resign.

globepolitics Whilst minority govt by liberal_party or implausibly by NDP, is better than 'CON' govt by CPC_HQ, it has an aura of uncertainty. Instead of good governance & organic agenda, its focus becomes balancing competing agendas of supporting parties. elxn43 cdnpoli onpoli cdnmedia

globepolitics Oh w ell then, if Elizabeth wants it, who am I to say... and here’s my wallet while your at it. You guys make 180k a year, come down to us 50k a year earners and try it out - you might not be so ideological fighting to survive

globepolitics Dumbest politician in Canada

globepolitics Not now Ethel, not now. The worlds far too precarious right now for that approach.

globepolitics This is a frightening prospect.

globepolitics That would be a disaster. They would have far more power than is justified by the number of seats they would have.

globepolitics Fk no. Watch investment capital flee like it did in Alberta. Depression

globepolitics Oh God, let's hope not.

globepolitics I want more cheesecake!

globepolitics climate stable since 1996, cooling 1940-1979, warming 1979-1996. Only in 1979 when climate change hoax began did CO2 become cause (big gov't) and no longer consequence of warmer climate. Ice age (ice caps) still going.

globepolitics ElizabethMay is a disgrace. Green Party my eye. As she supports torture of farms animals and the continuation of factory farms that destroy the environment. BanRodeo calgarystampede is the torture OS animals, pure and simple. 👎👎👎👎

globepolitics We are in big trouble!!!!

globepolitics Hoping ppl who really care about action on climate understand that the only way to ensure action continues/increases is to relegate *CPC* to a huge defeat *They are the problem* Crossed fingers & votes against Ls in ridings where NDP/Gn are distant 3rd=CPC gov ABC- each riding

globepolitics I think she has been getting into the 'cough syrup' again

globepolitics ElizabethMay is drunk.

globepolitics The voters will decide what they want. Thanks.

globepolitics So a party that supports proportional representation wants a hung parliament so they can wield influence greater than their vote share?

globepolitics Way to dream big. 😂

globepolitics So, basically they want to hold canada hostage

globepolitics Will make sure that doesn't happen

globepolitics The title makes it sound like it’s a bad thing. A minority government is the best case scenario and the only way we get climate action and electoral reform. Cdnpoli Elxn43

globepolitics That will never, ever happen. We will never again allow someone that’s so mentally ill they think that CO2 is somehow dangerous to humanity to be in position to influence policy.

globepolitics God help us...a recipe for paralysis.

globepolitics Let’s hope not we’re smarter than that.

globepolitics Elections matter.

We were told it was only going to get worse. This year the lakes are at record high levels but no retractions. 🙄 Universities are now overpriced clown colleges Not many can do much math either.
