I Want to Vote for Green Party...But Liberals Are in the Way--or Are They?

Hmmm?? As someone who wants to vote in this upcoming federal election(October 14th), I want to vote for the Green Party. Due to one of their platforms being "if you're forced to quit your job you can collect EI while looking for another job."

Due to my former job where I wanted to quit so badly but knew I wouldn't be able to collect any EI(Employment Insurance)while searching for another job I stayed at a job where I was miserable and dreaded going to work literally every day.

Though I'm at a much better job now with much better people in all positions from top to bottom I still like the Green Party's platform and why I want to vote for them.

The only problem is at one time, and not just recently, there was talk that The Green Party of Canada is associated with the federal Liberals.

I've been trying to find out if that's true or not as I have refused to vote Liberal since the Jean Chretien days and I assure you I will never vote Liberal again as long as I live. I'm a voter who never and I do mean NEVER forgets!

The problem I have with the Liberals is I was(and still am)very serious about opening my own t-shirt business or food store(preferably both). Knowing the banks weren't going to help me get the much-needed money I went to the EI office to apply for their Small Business Assistance Program but I don't qualify because I work. No joke! I'm not making this up! To qualify you must be an unemployed lazy-ass person collecting taxpayers money(EI)that you don't pay into the system.

Jean Chretien, and later on Paul Martin, both ignored my letters/emails to them and neither one replied to me though I was very polite in the letter(to Chretien) and email(to Martin) asking them to reconsider the rule so people such as myself who work, and pay into EI, can qualify by using some if not all of the EI money we pay into, for start-up for a new business.

Ever since I've refused to vote Liberal. I voted for them often. I also voted Conservative once(I even emailed Stephen Harper's office on this issue when he became Prime Minister and received a reply giving me the impression something would be done but the rule hasn't been changed and why I won't vote Conservative) and even for the NDP I voted once. Now I want to see what the Green Party will do for us(if enough people vote them in giving them a chance).

But before I definitely vote for The Green Party I want to know, are they associated with the federal Liberals in any way, shape or form whatsoever? So my dilemma is if Green Party and Liberals are in cahoots, then who do I vote for?
