* Voting Green
Posted on October 13th, 2008 by Dave Johnson. Filed under Politics.
The Canadian election is set to happen in less than 24 hours now and it is looking like the Conservative party is going to get another minority.
While in a perfect world I would be voting Green there is a very real possibility in this election that voting Green could give the Tories a majority by splitting the green vote between Green and Liberals. Therefore, I have decided to vote for the environment. By giving my vote to the Liberals I am supporting a great environmental policy in the Green Shift, which in terms of climate change is the same policy as the Greens.
In my riding of Vancouver Kingsway there is really no chance that the conservatives could get in given the whole Emerson episode, yet, there is quite a bit of support for the NDP and I really don’t like Jack Layton nor the NDP environmental policies.
If ou are interested in strategic voting then check out Vote for Environment and see what it looks like in your riding.

I looked over the Vote for Environment and decided to stray from their advice and vote Green rather than Liberal in my North Vancouver riding. In other words, voting for the platform which resonates best with me rather than going for the the strategic voting strategy. I want the Greens to become a real political force and they ran an awesome campaign and Ms. May and Ms. Carr both acquited themselves excellently. I feel the NDP sold out the true left and the Liberals don’t excite me much.
