when i voted for the greens provincially in this riding, it was a protest vote for the local candidate, who seems to be a little more of a left-leaning green. i did not bother to look into mike schreiner's politics, because i wasn't voting for mike schriener. but, i did take the time to look into the local candidate, because the green's have this split personality up in canada - you need to check to see if they're on the green left or are one of these "green capitalist" types.
i would not have voted for a "green capitalist", not even as a throwaway vote. faced with that choice, i would have just voted liberal.
