First Green MP!
Blair Wilson has decided to become Canada's first Green MP.
Blair Wilson, an embattled former Liberal MP who was expelled from his party's caucus last year over allegations of improper spending, announced on Saturday that he was joining the team of Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.
May called it a historic day for her party and said it would ensure that she could participate in the leaders' debates in the next election campaign.

CMM Joint GPO/GPC CA/EDA AGM
That's a lot of acronyms.
CMM - Carleton Mississippi Mills
GPO - Green Party of Ontario
GPC - Green Party of Canada
CA - Constituency Association (Provincial term)
EDA - Electoral District Association (Federal term)
AGM - Annual General Meeting
This year the provincial and federal Green Party associations for CMM decided to work as a unit and we elected a unified executive. Except for CEO and financial, which we have kept separate for each association.
Outside of an election, the AGM is the time when we renew the hardcore volunteers and try and plant the seeds of strategy for the next year.
Financial reports for the year were given for GPO and GPC.
Jim McKenzie gave a nice analysis of the last provincial election.
John Hogg gave a presentation on the campaign plan for the next federal election.
Jake Cole talked about his views on when the federal election might happen and what it will take to win.
John Ogilvie gave a summary of the GPO AGM.
Jeannie Warnock and Mark MacKenzie the GPO Eastern Ontario representatives on the GPO council gave us an update the state of the GPO.
Mark MacKenzie closed out our meeting with a presentation about the recent Global Greens conference in Brazil.
We had guest speakers.

Not doing your homework Paul?
Paul Arbour, federal CMM NDP candidate, either likes to deliberately mislead the public, or simply can't be bothered to read beyond the headlines.
How else can you explain this blog posting. He accuses the Green Party of Canada (GPC) of wanting to raise your taxes. Which on the surface looks like what the GPC was trying to do. Why only on the surface? Because the GPC plan calls for imposing a carbon tax and taking that revenue and lowering personal income tax and payroll taxes. The net result is revenue neutral. Elizabeth May has a great blog posting about the proposal.
Paul doesn't even allude to this possibility in his posting. I hope he puts more research into other things he does or having him as our MP would be very similar to having Gordon O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor seemed to be apologizing for misleading parliament every other day.
