Let me say "Hats off" to Elizabeth May of the Green Party. If I haven't said "Congratulations" for your work to get elected on May 1st, I'm saying it now. I don't normally sway too much from the parties I have voted for in the past, but in the short time since the election, I believe that Canadians need to see more of Green Party.
I have recently had a few moments to read a few of Elizabeth May's blog, and I am starting to think we need more politicians like her. I was looking through the list of people who are following me on Twitter and I found that both Elizabeth May and Jack Layton are on that list. I can only hope once in a while they will pop by here and have a read, but I digress. I was heading towards a tangent. Anyway, I found her blog through Twitter and I was very pleasantly surprised. The first post I read told me more about what our elected officials are working towards accomplishing on the federal politics stage.
The New Democrats normally get my vote, I was one of the swing voters in the last election. I changed my vote when I watched the confidence vote that brought down the last minority government on TV. I didn't want to go back to the polls...and as much as I despise the Liberals, I have to admit the election was necessary. I'm sure after all the results are in, everybody was happy to see a Conservative majority with Jack Layton and the New Democrats opposing in the House. Most importantly we have Elizabeth May in Parliament. Granted she has a lot to prove to help bring more Greens into House, but I am certain she will go above and beyond not just for her party but for all Canadians. I think we should see more of Elizabeth May's kind of politics in Canada. Let me know if you agree with me.
