THESE ARE THE GREENS WE KNOW




in Vancouver's last mayoral race, an unknown James Green stole the election for Sam Sullivan by confusing voters about the name of the left wing candidate Jim Green on the ballot. Even I almost voted for James Green in that election, thinking that this could be Jim's complete first name, before I found the real Jim Green somewhere down on the ballot.

There were a few stories in the media discussing the possibility of NPA/Sam Sullivan campaign helping James Green in stealing more than 6000 votes. Here and here.

But today, I'd like to begin talking about another fraudulent Green: the Green Party of Canada. For now, I would like to show you the name of the ridings in which NDP and Liberals would have easily won the contest had it not been for Green's sudden rise in public profile. Let's not forget the pro Harper media outlets (David Asper's CanWest and Ivan Fecan's CTV Globe Media that also owns the Globe & Mail) who provided the Green party with the space, also CBC for including the Green leader in the debate.

We really need to look into Green's fundraising and go over the media coverage to see how green managed to spoil the election for the Liberals and NDP.

For now, here are the 16 ridings that the Green party delivered to the Conservatives:

Nunavut -Northwest Territories
North Vancouver -British Columbia
vancouver Island North -British Columbia
Surrey North -British Columbia
Ottawa Orleans -Ontario
Mississauga Erindale -Ontario
Kitchener Centre -Ontario
Kitchener Waterloo -Ontario
London West _Ontario
Oakridges Markham -Ontario
Thornhill -Ontario
West Nova -Nova Scotia
South Shore St. Margarets -Nova Scotia
Central Nova -Nova Scotia
Egmont -Prince Edward Island
St. john -Newfoundland
