Eli has posted a very important link and I am going to share it with everyone. The Sierra Club of Canada has released a report which grades all the parties on their environmental platform. Here are the results:
Bloc Quebecois B
Conservatives F+ (ouch!!)
Green Party A-
Liberals B+
New Democrat Party B
Of course, you should read the entire report yourself directly from the source here:http://www.sierraclub.ca/national/vote-canada/2008/voters-guide-climate-crisis-election.pdf. As we can see, there is a huge disparity between the Conservatives and the rest of the pack. If you want to strategically remove the Conservatives from power voteforclimate.ca has some useful resources to do that.
Cheers,
Dante

Thank you, Dante for sharing this. Apparently this had made a national news some times ago. How did I miss that?
It's easy to miss a story when it has been buried in the depths of a newspaper or television program. I wouldn't have known about this report if it was not for Eli. Perhaps if the news media mentioned Harper and "Poor Environmental Policy" in the same sentance as many times as Dion and "Weak Leader" get mentioned in the same sentance the polls would be different.
