Whatever the Greens are smoking I’ll bet it’s amazing. It’s the only explanation for why they’re even bothering to contest the provincial election. The only green a lot of Albertans care about is the flow of US dollars we’re paid to trash the place we call home.
Climate change, schmimate change. God gave us oil specifically so we’d have enough money to buy a new climate if we ever need it.
Alberta is oil and nothing else. Oil is mother and oil is father.
Okay so maybe it’s not the Greens that are the crazy ones in this scenario…..
Bottom Line: unless your Green candidate is also an Alberta Party candidate and a Liberal candidate and named ‘Blakeman,’ you should follow Noel Keogh’s example in Calgary-Klien. The best shot forward for any kind of green policies right now is to give your vote to the NDP. That’s the best shot to start Alberta on a path that’s less dollar bill green and more Mother Gaia green.
