What's wrong with the Greens?
Ever since Lizzy May stepped down, they've became a disorganized, self-destructive dumpster fire.
They've not handled the transition from conservatives-on-bikes to protestors-in-suits very well.
They have always had great ideas and the big issue is a complete inability to present even a basic frame work to accomplish anything they come up with. I also strongly disagree with the parties stance on Nuclear Energy.
Yeah I share your issue with their stance on Nuclear as well (though having worked in the industry for a few years now, I'm coming to realise it's a moot point). I'll push back a bit on your other points though. I've always found their proposals to be well thought out and fully costed.
The reason I've long supported them (even when the leadership was chaotic) was that they were the only party with a platform that shared my priority: a world not on fire. the Conservatives muzzled climate scientists, the Liberals literally bought a pipeline and the NDP keeps cozying up to oil in Alberta and loggers in BC.
Sure we've got crystal-clutching anti-nuclear loonies in the Greens, but at least I can trust they actually believe the IPCC enough to want to do something about it.
I agree that Nuclear has become a bit of a moot point as it should have been a transitional solution ages ago. I can admit a lot of that one is the salty taste left in my mouth from it all.
You do raise some fair points, especially in regard to priorities within the other parties and their stances on environment. What you cite with the NDP is one of the reasons they have potential to lose my vote as soon as the issues I see with the Greens aren't so damning to me.
What I would love to see is a party that walks the good parts of both the Green and NDP platforms and getting rid of the non sense. I am legitimately trying to determine if I have the time and ability myself because I am quite sick of what has happened to Canadian Politics. I even have a rough draft platform. haha
