The Liberal threat to the Green Party of Canada

The Liberal Party of Canada is even now in the process of rebuilding for an all out effort to seize power once again. While there will be many elements to their strategy, one key little tidbit will be to attempt to eviscerate the Green Party’s vote, and pull them into the Liberal fold. I predict that they will have a vague but pretty sounding Environmental platform. They will time it’s release with their canvassing, and local campaign efforts across the country, in the hopes of swiping half a million soft Green Party votes. Ignatieff has piloted this effort locally in Etobicoke Lakeshore, and will roll it out nationally.

Green Party Tactics; And the ethnic vote.

Most Green Party of Canada campaigns could benefit from a tightly focused ethnic based campaign within their electoral district. The best way to totally win over a seperate ethnic community is to research the attitudes of community leaders, and persons of influence within the community. Religious leaders, businessmen, veterans associations and the like can be canvassed for their opinions. Seperate literature pieces should be prepared that address these opinions, and the endorsement and support of community leaders should be sought. There are many organizational details that will help to win over an ethnic community, so start working on it now, and be ready for the next election!
