Green platform

The Green party platform was released today -- here it is in pdf file. I haven't read it all yet, but here is the executive summary:

In this election, our message is simple.
- We can have a government that is truly accountable to Canadians, by renewing our democratic institutions to bring integrity back to public office.
- We can have a Canada that protects our air, soil and water while developing a strong, sustainable economy.
- We can move beyond our basic Kyoto commitments to make Canada a world leader in combating climate change.
- We can have a Canada that works for all communities, by honouring First Nation rights to self-government, Québec's rightful place in our federation, and the promise that new Canadians bring to our communities from coast to coast to coast. The Green Party's Canada is inclusive and progressive, where our values of diversity, tolerance and compassion ensure that no one is left behind.
Together, we can meet these challenges. Unlike other political parties who are more concerned with
short-term political survival, the Green Party's first priority is the world we will leave for our children and grandchildren.
