After spending a couple hours biking through the lovely Toronto nature paths (which are really nice, I think, especially considering they’re right in the middle of a huge city), I felt inspired to check out the Green Party’s web site.
Well, how about that–they have a full-fledged <a href=”http://www.greenparty.ca/platform2004/en/”>platform</a> that includes more than just the einvornment. [...]
