Canada’s Answer to Lipstick – Elizabeth May

The Green Party’s Elizabeth May finally got into the televised leader’s debates.
Let’s hope the Sarah Palin effect isn’t spilling over to in Canada.
Give her credit for getting Independent MP Blair Wilson – a former Liberal first elected in 2006 – to become a Green Party MP. She now gets her shot to get heard… despite having a poll rating of 8% (they got a whopping 4.3% of the vote last election – making them the new Rhino party).
The interesting thing is the deal Elizabeth made with Dion not to field a candidates in each others riding. Surprisingly, he didn’t join Layton in protesting her inclusion.
Any additional support she may get from the debates will come from the left and split the vote from those that want to crush Canadians with a new carbon tax… helping the Conservative Party get their majority.
The good news is that no one will be watching.

The difference between Palin and May is not only lipstick…Palin is not a crazy woman who has 15 cats in her house, she does shave her armpits and legs and she actually likes men.

Does this mean that a resurrected Rhinoceros Party will be allowed into the debates. I believe that prior to changes being made in the electoral regulations the Rhinos were polling higher than the numbers the Greens have put up.

Powell, the Rhino’s need an elected floor crosser to match Dizzy Lizzy’s argument. Maybe Robert Thibeault…Would’nt he have the stature to be in a fine Party like the Rhinos, maybe the leadership?
