Dear Friend,

I am optimistic. On Monday, Canadians will be able to vote for what we
want. Every single citizen has power.

Between now and then - please talk to everyone. Ask the server in the
coffee shop, the barber - or hair dresser - the bus driver - the taxi
driver - "Do you usually vote?

Talk to your best friend - the friend you have kept all these years because
you never talk about politics. Now - talk about politics.

The only vote for meaningful climate action is a Green vote.

Green candidates across the country are receiving an unprecedented
outpouring of support. In the face of outrageously false and negative
attacks, we have stayed on the high road - true to our principles and
focused on our vision for Canada and the world.

THE STAKES IN THIS ELECTION COULD NOT BE HIGHER. From the looming climate
crisis, to the urgent need to bring in universal pharmacare and dental for
low income Canadians, to justice and reconciliation with Indigenous
peoples, this election is critical - not just for our country, but for the
world.

Without transformational action, the window on holding global average
temperature increase to no more than 1.5 degrees C will close before the
next federal election. This is our last chance to arrest global warming at
levels to which we can survive. Global negotiations need a climate leader.
It could be Canada.

To make that happen, Canada needs a strong caucus of Green MPs.

From rural Nova Scotia and small-town B.C. to the busy streets of Toronto
and Vancouver, Canadians have shared their stories - and their hopes - with
me. They are counting on Greens to make waves in this election.

We cannot wait any longer for real progress. Tragically, THE OTHER PARTIES
HAVE FAILED TO PUT FORWARD PLANS TO MEET HE URGENCY OF THE
CLIMATE EMERGENCY.

Being the Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands and the Leader of
the Green Party for the past eight years has been the greatest honour of my
life. In the years since I was first elected in 2011, Greens have seen
tremendous growth in all parts of Canada: from B.C. where Greens hold the
balance of power, to Prince Edward Island where Greens are the official
opposition, to New Brunswick's inspiring caucus, to Ontario where we
elected the first Green MPP in 2018, Green growth is undeniable.

I have spent months travelling the country sharing our vision and working
to earn the trust of Canadians. But on election day, the future of Canada
lies in the hands of voters.

The choice is yours. I hope you'll trust the Green Party of Canada to treat
your vote as a sacred obligation of service.

AND IF YOU HONOUR US WITH YOUR VOTE, I GIVE YOU MY WORD; WE WILL NOT LET
YOU DOWN.

In love and hope,

Elizabeth May
Leader
Green Party of Canada
