NDP, Green or....?

[There was a lot of debate around whether to vote NDP or Green, in terms of both political standpoint and overall strategy. This was my response to environmentalist David Orton's reasons for voting Green.]

The press being given Harper (Conservatives) and the lack of credibility being dished to Layton (NDP) mirrors my concern about a Liberal minority government with Conservatives in opposition.

For what it's worth, I personally think 'Vote NDP' first, and then, gradually strengthen widespread support for the Green Party so we have better choices. There are many within the NDP who are environmentally-conscious and inclined. While it may be anthropocentric environmentalism, it's a start.

Recent post on cormorant shootings should be a wake-up call as to where Liberals are heading.
