We did this together

  Dear Friend, In response to Elizabeth and Paul’s messages, Green supporters across the country have come together to raise nearly $80,000 this week to help clear our election debt. That’s not just a number. It’s a show of strength — and a beautiful reminder that we’re never alo…

A Message from Paul Manly

  Dear Friend, First, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who responded to Elizabeth’s call to action on Thursday. In two days you have raised almost $30,000 to help clear our party’s election debt. I know you may be wondering how we ended up with this debt. That’s a fair question. …

Greens are the progressive opposition Canada needs

  Dear Friend, Today, I need to share the urgent truth about the state of our party. The political landscape around us has changed — and it's left Greens in a unique and necessary role. The NDP has been decimated, and their interim leader is still finding his footing. Meanwhile, …

ACTION ALERT: Senate Takes Up Bill C-5 Tomorrow—Speak Out!

  Dear Friend, If you’ve been following the crushing news since June 6, you know the Carney government fast-tracked Bill C-5, the “One Canadian Economy Act.” This bill was bulldozed through the House without proper debate or scrutiny. It’s a monstrous power grab that lets Cabinet …

The bulldozer bill has passed, and they laughed!

  Dear Friend, On Friday, Bill C-5 passed in the House of Commons. Many progressive voters hoped that Mark Carney would respect the fact that it was their support, not a surge in Liberal enthusiasm, that put him in office. But C-5 makes clear who this government is listening to: t…
