The Green Party in Canada was formed almost 25 years ago but has had a very low profile until recently. For decades the environmental movement has been seeking to influence the political process without direct involvement. As a result there are strong environmentalist politicians in all parties and there have been many successes through the years.
But the government agenda, regardless of political stripe, has been a corporate one, and the goal has been economic growth with little regard for the social or environmental consequences. The environmental agenda within the major parties has always been subservient to other interests and the Earth has been degraded as a result.
And now we have a crisis of global warming.
