Although it could be used as a lay-person’s guide to Canada’s Westminster-style politics, May provides no real insight as to how this inauthentic, fractious, and ethically corrupt mess can be cleaned up and genuine democracy attained. She knows the score, but fails to understand the nature of the game.]]> http://greenpolitics.ca/2009/08/losing-confidence-in-elizabeth-may/feed/ 5 http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/10/letter-to-the-governor-general/ http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/10/letter-to-the-governor-general/#comments Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:52:14 +0000 Stuart Hertzog http://greenpolitics.ca/?p=245 Canadians have voted in this election not to give the Conservative Party an overall majority, which means that two-thirds of the voting public do not want Stephen Harper to continue as prime minister. I have sent this letter to the Governor General requesting her not to agree to another minority government. Feel free to copy and circulate it. You send one, too — it’s time for action!]]> http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/10/letter-to-the-governor-general/feed/ 16 http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/04/a-change-of-focus/ http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/04/a-change-of-focus/#comments Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:51:47 +0000 Stuart Hertzog http://greenpolitics.ca/?p=29 Conventional party politics offers limited opportunity to achieve the depth of cultural change necessary to safeguard life on this planet. Although there is a need for political activism, even Green political parties are neither far-sighted nor bold enough to put forward a clear vision of an eco-centric society. So I'm announcing a change of focus for this site.]]> http://greenpolitics.ca/2008/04/a-change-of-focus/feed/ 2
