        Generally to the left of the NDP. Kinda unrealistic, TBH, because they don’t have to worry about costing it or carrying it through.

        You’re conveniently leaving out the fact that the federal Greens spent the last several years destroying itself through infighting. Remember the leader that was elected to replace the long suffering Elizabeth May who then stole a bunch of money, started a bunch of law suits against the party and then May had to take back over under a joint leadership?

        They’re a novelty party, not a party of governance.

        (I have voted Green several times, but never again in their current arrangement)

          Sure, but go check what the US Green party is to compare and you’ll realize that the Canadian party isn’t so bad

            Using “well at least it’s not as bad in America” in these contexts is both dismissive of valid criticism and also a staggeringly low bar
