Political philosophy edit
"Green's philosophy appears to have become more strongly influenced by the radical right during the 1980s." I object to the term "radical right" because it is ambiguous. Also, I could not find any reference that Green's views were influenced by the right. He wrote a pamphlet called Green on Rights in opposition to the proposed Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but from a left-wing perspective, using the example of the US Supreme Court that impeded the New Deal. A balanced budget for a province is not necessarily right-wing either. Tommy Douglas was fiscally prudent in order that the government could provide services.

- Green was strongly opposed to "identity politics", and promoted views on minority rights that were similar to those offered by Preston Manning and the Reform Party during the 1980s and early 1990s. That said, I take your point that the term "radical right" is ambiguous and could lend itself to misinterpretation. I'll change it accordingly. CJCurrie (talk) 02:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
