I'd consider casting a tactical vote for them, in fact (and don't get me started on the trendy, and misleading, term, "strategic vote) if I lived in Saanich-Gulf Islands, Grey-Bruce-Owen Sound, or somewhere like that. I'd have a hard time voting for the Liberals, though; they have too much of a nitroglycolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030927753989623634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100059440353610537.post-53680700062779513402008-09-25T14:23:00.000-04:002008-09-25T14:23:00.000-04:00Here's proof that the Liberal say one thing and do...Here's proof that the Liberal say one thing and do another:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUNJEQS7alo<BR/><BR/>This infrastructure money would have been spent on lots of green efforts (at least according to the Liberals)<BR/><BR/>And I don't have a beef per se, only making a few points.<BR/><BR/>BTW Sask - the federal NDP would bring in PR because they would be crucified by their base Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100059440353610537.post-81373585249176878852008-09-25T13:59:00.000-04:002008-09-25T13:59:00.000-04:00Anonymous, you're hilarious.

Layton (unlike Dion) has already said that he will always work with parties that want what is in the best interests of Canadians. Layton (also unlike Dion) would bring in proportional representation. Which would be to the benefit of the Green Party in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100059440353610537.post-47056981529455377422008-09-25T12:21:00.000-04:002008-09-25T12:21:00.000-04:00GAB - you may prefer carbon tax to cap and trade b...GAB - you may prefer carbon tax to cap and trade but Layton and the NDP are the only real progressive alternative to the Conservatives in large chunks of the country.
