Elizabeth May — A Political Party Leader Or A Treehugger Activist?

Quebec separatism is waning. The Conservative government has been doing a great job reaching out to Quebecers, so the support for sovereignty has fallen by 10 points. But Elizabeth May wouldn't mind reviving it, if that helps voting the Conservatives out of power.

From the Conservative Party website:

OTTAWA – Today Elizabeth May, Stephane Dion’s candidate in Central Nova made the shocking remark that Quebeckers should vote for BQ separatists rather than federalist Conservatives. (Le Devoir, May 14, 2008).

Ms May calls the Conservative government "a menace to the planet" and she urges voters to "think of the planet first" and cross the traditional party lines to combat "climate change". That's her top priority.

So what if the "climate change" has never been scientifically proven? So what if implementing Kyoto with its "carbon trading" scams will cost tens of billions of dollars a year without making the air any cleaner? Ms May has already decided for herself: the Conservatives which introduced the Clean Air Act are bad. The Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc that rewrote the Act, turning it into a go-nowhere carbon-tax bill are good. So she wants them in power.

And if the Bloc manages to pass a bill that would allow Quebec government to declare sovereignty following a simple majority vote in the Legislature - who cares? "It's the planet, stupid!"
