A Liberal no more

I first voted 50 years ago, and always supported the federal Liberals.

No more.

I will vote Green from now on, and urge everybody opposed to the dilbit pipeline to do so as well.

Indigenous Canadians should run more candidates so their voice will be heard in Ottawa. 

There are close to 800 lobbyists for hire to bend the ears of MPs, senators and other federal public officials.

More than 2,700 meetings between oil and gas lobbyists and federal office holders since 2008 have helped turn Canada into a petro state, according to the Financial Post.

Maybe with a Green voice in Ottawa, the MPs and government wonks will be able to hear something else other than the petroleum industry lobbyists.
