It’s not about abortion: if you want a green outcome, don’t be distracted

A brace of new Green members—along with allies like the NDP’s Svend Robinson in Burnaby North-Seymour, or Montreal Liberal candidate and anti-pipeline activist, Steven Guilbault—could keep a new government’s feet to the fire on what is, arguably, an issue that transcends all others. For everyone else, there’s the Conservatives.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, pictured on May 22, 2018, on Parliament Hill at a rally along with NDP MPs and activists to protest against the government's $4.5-billion bailout of the Trans Mountain pipeline. Despite Ms. May’s shaky campaign start—a Quebec candidate who favours independence; being forced to backtrack on the tricky question of whether Green MPs could advance anti-abortion motions (they can’t)—Ms. May is well-informed, consistent, and deadly serious about the need for radical action to arrest climate change.
