Social Justice

The Green Party of Canada believes that there will be no social justice unless there is environmental justice first.

The plans they have for accomplishing this are the following:

  • a just organization of the world and a stable world economy which will close the widening gap between rich and poor, both within and between countries; balance the flow of resources from South to North; and lift the burden of debt on poor countries which prevents their development.
  • the eradication of poverty, as an ethical, social, economic, and ecological imperative
  • the elimination of illiteracy
  • a new vision of citizenship built on equal rights for all individuals regardless of gender, race, age, religion, class, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, disability, wealth or health

 

Legalizing Drugs

Under the policys and platform of the Green Party of Canada there is nothing that "offically" says they want to leagalize marjuana. However there are members of the party who feel that marjuana is okay. The following link will lead you to posted blogs on the marjuana stand points. www.greenparty.ca/en/node/4752

 

Health Care

The Green party feels very strongly that the health care of Canada is important. The have come up with five points of what there vision would be for Canadas health care:

  1. Public Administration: The public health insurance plan must be managed in a public, not-for-profit fashion.
  2. Comprehensiveness: All residents must be covered for “medically necessary” health services.
  3. Universality: All residents must be covered by the public insurance plan on uniform terms and conditions.
  4. Portability: All residents must be covered by their public plan, wherever they are treated in Canada.
  5. Accessibility: All residents must have access to insured health care services on uniform terms and conditions without direct or indirect financial charges, or discrimination based on age, health status or financial circumstances.

This is just a small tast of what the green party would like to see for Canadas health care. To read more go to the following link  www.greenparty.ca/en/policy/visiongreen/health

Christian Views

I feel that the Green Party of Canada has a solid platform. Now from what I know about their party, I would consider voting for them. However I cant speak for every Christian when I say that. Each Christian has there different views of what is "right". I think if you take what the bible says and compare it with the views of the Green Party you will find they have some wholesome views, however you will probably also find some conflict. But we do not live in an all Christian world, so I am fairly confident by saying that you will probably find some conflict with each politicial party. So really its up to the person voting!
