Green
Party of Canada
LEADER: Elizabeth May. BRIEF HISTORY: Founded in 1983. The party ran 60 candidates in the 1984 federal election. In 2004, the Greens became only the fourth federal political party ever to run candidates in all 308 ridings. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Green Party of Canada is independent of other green parties around the world, yet remains philosophically aligned with them. The Green Party begins with the basic premise that all life on the planet is interconnected and that humans have a responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world. The Green Party of Canada -- like its provincial counterparts -- supports leftist green economics, progressive social planning, and responsible and accountable governance.
