Greeniness.

To paraphrase Stephen Colbert's word of 2006 in analysis of Mr. Harper and Mr. Dions' out greening each other on the eve of yet another (possible) election in the only growth area for both the Conservatives and Liberals: Quebec. The Conservatives had their chance just a few short weeks ago when, now ex-Enviroment Minister, Rona Ambrose revealed the much hyped Conservative 'Enviromental Plan' to subsidise big oil for another 44 years. The Conservatives just don't get it and I doubt they ever will. The enviroment will be THE issue for the next 100 years. The ways and means of wealth needs to adapt to the new paradigm. Mr. Dion doesn't have a lot of creditability on this issue either, he was the Enviroment Minister under the Liberals and other than passing the Kyoto Accords really didn't show any leadership on this issue. Though, admittedly he's trying to make up lost ground. The NDP doesn't have all that much to offer other than the same ol' hippy leftist rant. The Green Party has part of the solution by placing clean air and water into the Constitution. This gives the Supreme Court a big bat to mediate the inevitable conflicts.
