Thanks to a founding member of Free Geek Vancouver, the Green Party of Canada has quietly become the first major political party to make support for free and open source software (FOSS) part of its election platform. Like officials in the Green Party of England and Wales, deputy leader Adriane Carr sees the move as compatible with basic Green ideas, but IT consultant Neil Adair also points out the move serves the practical purpose of helping the party match the technical resources of more established parties.
As a Green Party supporter I'm happy to read that the Canadian Greens support (and use) FOSS and net neutrality. I'd love to see a few Green MPs in Ottawa to shake things up and keep the other parties on the straight and narrow. Maybe in the next election, which could be called anytime now because of the minority government situation.
