The Green Party of Canada did not win any seats in this election, but I think their results are quite satisfactory. Here's how it went for my party:
A few Green results:
Percentage nationally: 4.5%
Number of votes: 665,940
Best province: Alberta, 6.6%
Best riding (percentage): Bruce--Grey--Owen Sound, 12.9%
Best riding (number of votes): Ottawa Centre, 6,766 votes
In the riding of Prince Edward/Hastings, where I am registered, Joseph Sahadat received 2387 votes. At 4.1%, it's slightly lower than the national average of the popular vote - but still, it's a start.

Not bad when one considers that in the northern reaches of the riding there are those who still vote Conservative because that is what their ancestors did since before confederation.
