[edit] Political membership

Although now Green is definately a Conservative radio personality, didn't he once run for the Liberal Party?

Yes he did. 72.139.52.150 16:19, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The line between conservatism and neo-liberalism is often a fine one. Lowell frequently weaves back and forth over that line. He would probably fit comfortably into any political party from Bolshevik to religious fundamentalist as long as their politics were authoritarian. SmashTheState 09:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Mr. Green ran for the Ontario Liberal Party in a by-election in Ottawa Centre (December 13, 1984). He came third, behind the NDP and the Progressive Conservative candidates, with about 26% of all votes cast. To my knowledge, that was his only run for elected office.

Not bad. The article could afford to be a bit more specific in terms of dates and a little more critical too. Also his previous books should be mentioned too.. Dan Carkner 14:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Amusingly, I've heard him quote my Wikipedia articles, stating "Now according to Wikipedia..." while talking about Muslim extremists...I felt quoted out of context however - since he was very selective in what facts he used from the articles :\ Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 03:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American-Canadian?

Is Mr. Green an American, a Canadian, or does he have dual (American and Canadian) citizenship? If he has applied for and received Canadian citizenship, he is PROBABY a dual citizen. Que-Can 19:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• He was born in the USA so he's an American citizen by birthright. His parents were Canadian and in the USA temporarily and he has Canadian citizenship due to being a child of Canadian citizens. As for being a dual citizen, he fits under Example 4 from Multiple citizenship#Examples. IIRC he has said that he doesn't have an American passport, although he would be eligible for one.
