greI have to applaud this MP for making a difficult move, but one that ultimately honours his own values and those of his constituents.Jun 06, 2013 7:34 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior- greDid you ever wonder when you were a kid if your parents were playing favorites? Well...its the same with the government and energy sources. They play favorites. And they do so with your money. If solar/wind/etc got these subsidies instead of fossil fuels...they would be the cheapest energy sources. Perhaps the govermnet should consut Canadians on where they want their $800 to go.Jun 05, 2013 12:24 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior

- greI have a burning desire to see justice happen in this Robocall scandal. I have since the day after the 2011 election when the pattern of it emerged. This is a good article on the recent ruling. While I find the ruling dissapointing, at least it did do some vague finger pointing. Without naming names - the robocalls benefitted one party over all; the list of people called came from one parties voter database; and one party has tried to impede and block investigation of any wrongdoing in this case. Its the same party in each case. It doesn't take a genius to see what went on here. But as a country, it will take our collective integrity to show the world we can hold their feet to the fire. Canada is better than this.May 28, 2013 7:37 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior
- greA judge confirms there was widespread election fraud in 2011 and that it likely originated from the Conservative Voter database...but it would appear nothing will happen from this ruling.

- greIt should be noted that I am against developing the oil sands at all. However, I did want to point out that Mr. Oliver's arguments are completely without merit. He worries that oilsands crude will be stranded in Alberta and we will somehow (as a result) be less prosperous. Oil doesn't go bad, and it is a resource that sees increasing demand and decreasing supply. This means logically, that the longer it is 'stranded' in Alberta, the more valuable it gets. The greatest prosperity comes from us leaving it in the ground as long as possible. Think about it.May 07, 2013 7:42 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior

- greMy summary of the article: "Every nickle and dime is accounted for" says Tony Clement. "What about the 3.1 billion?". "Well...except for those nickles and dimes, obviously" replies Tony Clement.

- greI have come to believe that the only way to change things for the better is this sort of cooperation in the next election. With the idea that proportional representation would get priority to be set up - followed immediately by another election. Sadly this would mean not running a green candidate next election. But it's more important to get something like proportional representation implemented than anything else. This is simply because the problem right now in Canadian politics is not who gets votes, but how they get into power.Mar 26, 2013 8:03 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior

- greAn article from the Economist on the muzzling of scientists. To show how ludicrous it has gotten, take the following quote from this article: "[The Government] ordering a researcher not to attend the launch of his own novel because it dealt with climate change".

One line I like from this one: "This comes across as a party that says publicly it’s worried about the corrosive democratic impact of the anonymous robocalling in the Pierre Poutine case, then slyly but carelessly bankrolls a very similar strategy."Feb 13, 2013 7:46 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior

- greInteresting news. In a recent robocalls case, the Cons claimed they were not involved at all. When presented with forensic voice analysis (which traced it to RackNine owner Matt Meier), they then did an about face and admitted that they did initiate the calls. The lesson we learn from this - the Cons only take responsibility when they are caught red handed. Is that a lesson we want our children to learn?Feb 05, 2013 5:40 pm | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior
