Green Party of Ontario - Green Party of Ontario The Green Party of Ontario contests provincial elections in Ontario, Canada. It is Canada's second-largest Green Party after the Green Party of British Columbia.

The elements of green politics it emphasizes, including a green tax shift and privatization of electric power generation (with the public maintaining control of the extensive Ontario power grid), are almost libertarian in character.

Defenders of this strategy argue that it effectively splits the right wing vote, and does not prevent Greens from cooperating on.

Four pillars The four pillars or four principles of the Green Parties are: Ecology - ecological sustainability.
