The NDP<a href="http://www.rabble.ca">rabble.ca</a> has an <a href="http://www.rabble.ca/politics.shtml?sh_itm=290fbd038d6d8b7af5612e220ff5ab79&rXn=1&">interesting article on the Green Party</a> by Murray Dobbin.

"In fact, all these [voters] make the assumption that the Green Party is at least, well, Green. They should take the time to be sure. In the last election I wrote, based on the policy platform on its website, the party was right wing on social and fiscal policy and also pointed out that <b>both the Sierra Club and Greenpeace rated them below the NDP (and in most categories, below the Bloc) on environmental policies.</b> Unfortunately, little has changed. Some things are actually worse."

<b>Update</b> (Jan. 1st): A lot the article I linked to above is based on the Greens' not having a 2006 platform available. The Greens now have their 2006 platform up on <a href="http://www.greenparty.ca/">their federal website.</a>Natalkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17904243446473763995noreply@blogger.com
