Two leading groups rate NDP greener than Greens

Canadian Press

OTTAWA — The New Democrats are greener than the Greens according to comparisons of their platforms by two national environmental groups.

In separate assessments of where the parties stand on environmental issues, both Greenpeace and the Sierra Club of Canada gave slightly higher marks to the NDP than the Greens.

The Sierra Club gave the Green Party an A and the NDP an A plus. Greenpeace, which used four criteria in its assessment, gave the NDP straight A's while the Green party got two A's and two B's.

The Green party platform is admirable on philosophical principles but lacking in precision, said Elizabeth May of the Sierra Club, in an interview Thursday.
