Garth Turner joins Green Party byelection campaign

Maverick (or should I say, "Progressive Conservative") MP Garth Turner has announced that he "...will campaign for Green Party Leader Elizabeth May in a byelection in London, Ont.", according to the CBC.

Garth held a press conference earlier today, in which he formally quit the "hats and horses" (aka Reform/Alliance) party, and provided evidence that what was once the most grassroots of all federal parties has become the most elitist party in the history of Canada, ignoring the decision of local electoral district associations in favour of the dictates of party strategists.

Garth clarified false rumours that he would become the first Green MP by joining Canada's hottest new political party, and instead wants the Greens to elect their first MP by their own merit - in the form of Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May, who is competing in the London-North-Centre by-election.

With all of the mudslinging going on amongst the old-line parties, and given the innovative and positive policies of the Green party, Garth just may get his wish.

Elizabeth May, O.C. and M.P. Has a nice ring to it.
