It appears Elizabeth May either didn't receive or chose to ignore my earlier advice for the Green Party of Canada. She's gone and practically yielded an axe to hack away any credibility the Green Party may have had and hitched her horse to what appears to be a one-trick pony in liberal leader Stephan Dion.

This "mutual support pact" really appears to be turning into a mutual destruction agreement. First, Dion is hitching himself to a party that has never won a seat to shore up support for what is supposed to be his strongest issue. Does he really need what little credibility he would receive from this deal? Is his support now so lacklustre that he can't even win votes on his flagship issue.

Second, so much for Elizabeth May and the Green Party doing politcis differently. This so-called fresh approach to politics is nothing more than a long tradition of backroom wheeling and dealing. Should Elizabeth May somehow actually defeat Peter McKay, how soon does she bore of being the lone Green MP, with no support, no caucus and no funding and simply join the LIberals, which she has essentially done.

Green Party, I'm done with free advice.
