From the comments I see, they're addressed in the dedicated site for this gig: www.roninnova.ca<BR/><BR/>Consider it meta-context, but it is important to take into consideration that this is being done after a 20-year hiatus from Green politicking, i.e. resignation from GPBC in 1986 (over creation of a federal Green party) to membership with GPNS three months ago. Again, pretty well laid out in the site.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind taking hits, but in all fairness, they can't be based on reading the home page only. BTW, Red Tory, over the next several months I will in all likelihood be called far worse than "crank." Also, thanks for the plug in your blog, banal sarcasm notwithstanding. It is the site that is a "flame" not me. I would never consider stooping to such a vain declaration.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-59089926609345696932007-05-05T01:58:00.000-07:002007-05-05T01:58:00.000-07:00Niles : The Federal Greens may be "for strong envi...Niles : The <I>Federal</I> Greens may be "for strong environmental controls and reductions measures from federal government", but some considerable portion of <I>provincial</I> Greens are decidedly "anti-nanny-state", Mr Ronin among them. <BR/>From his website, I gather he strongly disagreed with the very idea of establishing a Federal Green Party, hence his candidacy.<BR/>It's going to be interesting when the next election comes around to see what proportion of Greens, both federal and provincial, are considerably to the right of even the Cons. I'm guessing far higher than most of Canada expects.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-12786032226675614652007-05-04T22:03:00.000-07:002007-05-04T22:03:00.000-07:00Niles — You got it.

I think it's not too hard to figure out.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-75488831861580809762007-05-04T14:46:00.000-07:002007-05-04T14:46:00.000-07:00uhm...from his quote, I'm confused.

I thought the Greens were for strong environmental controls and reductions measures from federal government.<BR/><BR/>If he's a provincial level Green, but he's making statements that sound more virulently anti-'nanny state', doesn't that make him tilt more into the 'drown government in a bathtub' sector?Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096047389811381098noreply@blogger.com
