Re: OT: Canadian Federal Election
Good News For Greens - From CBC.CA
Quote:
HALIFAX - The Green Party, fighting to be recognized as a legitimate fourth party, recorded a major boost to its party's fortunes, taking three percent of the vote in Atlantic Canada.
The party, which had complained about not being allowed to participate in the two all leaders' debates, climbed a whopping 2.9 per cent from the Last election.
In 2000, their vote was almost negligible, recording only 0.1 per cent, or 1,100 votes.
This election, the party has so far received more than 24,000 votes
