NDP and Greens sell out: move forward with Site C Dam Project.
Thursday, December 14, 2017
This is one of the greatest environmental catastrophes of the 21st century. I'm not overly surprised that the NDP sold out atrociously. The NDP are anti-environmental and non democratic. As Rachel Notley engages on her pipeline tour, Horgan sells out atrociously on the Site C Dam project, and Jagmeet Singh relishes in the heavily financed coup he pulled on the federal NDP.
The NDP under Layton opposed Elizabeth May's inclusion in the federal debates and even once she was elected as Canada's first Green MP and included in the debates, the NDP under Mulcair still continued to call for her to be banned from the debates. Lose all pretenses NDP, you are not democratic and you are not Green. You are another corrupt party of career politicians peddling political influence to lobbyists.
What is really disturbing here however is not that particularly surprising, that the NDP did the most cowardly thing possible. It is that Andrew Weaver head of the BC Greens already sold out as well. Weaver has shown that he is yet another in a breed of political careerists using the international Green brand to further their career. When push comes to shove they themselves sell out to the anti-environmental winds of the day. This is very apparent in Europe. This is now already very apparent in Canada, where the Greens only just emerged with federal and provincial seats. This is a shame for all history, which with the current environmental situation may actually be coming to an end.
