Dear Friend, Thank you so much for all of your support for Green campaigns. The passion of the volunteers in Saanich-Gulf Islands always energizes me, and I know that candidates across the country are benefitting from the dedication of supporters like you. With this final week of the campaign flying by, I am happy to see Green candidates staying true to our shared values and goals, as we offer real representation to our communities and real climate leadership in Parliament. Friend, I have been appalled to see how the other parties are virtually ignoring the climate emergency. I do not know how it could be any clearer that, while many issues are important, the threat to our very survival must be the defining issue of this election. Without aggressive action in the next few years, nothing done later can save us from the devastating impacts of climate change. Saving ourselves requires forethought, collaboration, and above all commitment at a level we have not yet witnessed. Greens are laser focused on the most pressing issues of our time and ready with positive policy solutions. Greens make an out-sized difference. And I know, after 10 years in Parliament, how desperately our voices are needed. MPs from other parties appreciate the decency and hard work we bring to the House. All MPs (or almost all!) appreciate our civility, our integrity and our determination to not let partisanship stand in the way of progress. And Canadians can see our proven track record on pushing hard for positive change where it really matters. You have an important role to play. Will you stand up now for the issues we all care about? Will you make the difference in helping to elect more Green MPs? The clock is ticking on this short election, and your financial support is what powers our work from coast to coast to coast. In this final week of the campaign we can keep climate action, social justice, reconciliation and so much more in focus. We can do this together. Let’s do all we can to send a strong team of Greens to Ottawa. Thank you again and keep up the good work!
