When we asked what "nation-building" means to you, something remarkable happened. "A sustainable electrical grid east to west." "National hydro- and wind-powered electrical grid." "We should be planning for a clean energy future." Response after response painted the same picture: wind power flowing from the Prairies to the Maritimes, Quebec hydro streaming west, solar farms connecting every community through clean electricity. A vision so clear, so widely shared, it felt inevitable. Then we looked at Energy Minister Tim Hodgson's calendar. Politico recently reported on his meetings — TC Energy, Shell Canada, the Canadian Fuels Association, J.D. Irving, Cenovus Energy, and Woodfibre Management. Meeting after meeting with fossil fuel executives. Your vision for Canada's energy future? It's not even in the room. But it should be. Because what you described isn't wishful thinking, it’s forward thinking. And it’s the vision that the Green Party has been championing. The reason the government is so stuck on pipelines is not because a national grid is an unachievable fantasy. It’s because fossil-fuel insiders keep grabbing the mic! "When Sir Wilfrid Laurier talked about linking the country east to west with a railway, what is the modern climate equivalent? An east-west electricity grid: 100% renewably sourced electricity flowing from province to province and north to the territories." ~ MP Elizabeth May, House of Commons, November 18, 2022 While Hodgson listens to fossil fuel executives, Elizabeth fights for your vision. This shared vision must break through the corporate chatter and political inertia. Your donation today will help make it impossible to ignore.
