Elizabeth May met with the Citizen edtiorial board last week. She got two editorials out of it.
Leonard Stern (deep conservative) was mostly favorable (commented that she was not a darling of the left due to things like her stand on abortion, but said she was primitive on things like foreign policy).
Today David Reevely (moderate) disputed the criticisms of his editor Leonard Stern, saying that she does a god job drawing the distinction between pure environmentalism and sustainability (an example is her support of a limited seal hunt. His ending quote is: "It sounds like, at last, we have a party leader who's determined to treat voters with respect".

These indicate the growing undestanding and acceptance of the Green Party's "socially progressive, fiscally conservative" approach to gorvernment issues in Canada.

As a somewhat conservative Green, I can say that I am no longer comfortable in the GPC since it is the mission of May (and even Harris before her) to involve themselves with backroom discussions to unite the left. Who wants to "unite the left"? The Greens have made the choice of being "left" and will need to live with that choice. For one thing, this immature sniping at the NDP should stop. May needs the NDP more than the NDP needs a side deal with her.
