Personal opinion follows - please feel free to disregard:

Left, Right; Liberal, Conservative; Positive, Negative.  It doesn't matter.

The only way things are going to *be* different, is if "our
membership" (term used as broadly as possible) decides that it *can*
make a difference.

IMO, the only way we're going to adequately see our interests
protected is by "infiltrating" the Canadian political system.

In 2004, I thought the Green Party might be able to that.  Perhaps it
still can, but in the meantime, I'm rather interested in (and
considering getting involved with) the Pirate Party.
