Part of History
It's really fabulous to be part of history. I've only been involved in the Green Party for a year and a half, but it's remarkable to see the strides we've been making as a party.

Hallejujah! GST policy right on
I've written three posts over the past couple of months focused on the GST for municipalities. One was in response to a TorStar report on the Liberal strategy for municipalities. The second responded to another (and supporting) editorial in The Star. The third was a copy of my letter written to the Liberal Party's Urban Committee and commenting, in a fair amount of detail, on their full report to the party.
Only the Greens have seen how RIGHT and REASONABLE the One Cent Campaign championed by David Miller and endorsed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is.
This policy shouldn't fail to convince people who give it more than two cents' thought.

Noise Pollution threatens Biodiversity
There's an intriguing article in Scientific American today, about the work of Bernie Krause, a bioacoustics expert and former Moog synthesizer player for George Harrison, the Doors and other '60s musicians.
At the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, Krause made a recording of the natural ambient sounds of birds, animals, insects, reptiles and amphibians. Having made spectrographs of natural soundscapes in his musical career, he realized that the recording of these creatures “looked like a musical score. Each animal had its own niche, its own acoustic territory, much like instruments in an orchestra.”
Toughen Animal Abuse Laws
At least three stories of animal abuse are in the news today.
One reports a cat which was set on fire and left to die a horrible death. The second tells the tale of the shooting of a 14-week old puppy. And the third describes the case of five puppies which were thrown down the hole, and left slowly to die in a stinking outhouse.

The Future of Democracy in Canada
As committed and confident as Greens are to our positive message of sustainability and equity for all, we are faced day to day with growing disenchantment of the electorate and increasingly prevalent negativity from the old parties. This disaffection and the apathy it cultivates is as much of a threat to the democratic process as media monopolies and the erosion of our civil liberties.
