Combining that with Allen's upfront common sense approach, got a lot of people to vote for her. "I have a very strong mandate. I will do all I can to ensure we build the Green Party for success. I really believe it has become the only relevant party, the only one that addresses the urgent issues we face in a realistic and positive way."

Urgent issues? I wonder what she means by that. I hope not pointless stuff like global warming for example. We really need to be focused on more important issues than that right now. But I may be wrong, I just don't want to see our country's economy going down the drain just because we're trying to save the environment.
Take care, Lorne
