With all the time I've spent over the last 4 years following American politics I've really lost touch with the issues in my country of citizenship, Canada. A general election has been called for June 28, so this morning I took a political quiz that asked questions on a range of issues from Heath Care to Missile Defense to Marijuana Decriminalization.

and these are my potential choices according to the quiz;

Layton Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (score = 100)

Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Bloc Quebecois (score = 86)

Paul Martin Leader of Liberal Party of Canada, Prime Minister of Canada (score= 45)

Stephen Harper Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (score = 14)

There's only one problem. The quiz totally omitted the party I am somewhat leaning towards. The Green Party of Canada. This year the Greens have 300 confirmed candidates, and have plans to become only the fourth party in Canadian history to run a full slate of 308 candidates, and currently polling at 6% nationally.

Green Party leader Jim Harris has also been blocked from attending the upcoming political debate despite the widespread support the Greens are getting from all over the country, and especially in British Columbia where the party is polling at 14%.
