Fighting for My Daughter’s Future

      Hi Friend, My commitment to the Green Party of Canada took root on a memorable election night in May 2011, in Montreal. As a young political science student and non-citizen unable to vote, I was captivated by a federal election full of upheaval. That evening, in a bar where …

A Reckless Move from the Bloc Puts Politics Before Canadians

      Dear Friend, Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois declared its intent to bring down the Trudeau government at the first chance it gets after its ultimatum to pass two specific laws expired. This push for an election couldn’t come at a worse time, and we believe it shows a reckless …

Green Is the Strategic Vote — Help Us Prove It

      Dear Friend, Working in Parliament, through the dreary and predictable partisan debates, I often think of American journalist H.L. Mencken's keen observation: "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."   Conservative sloganeering further…

Conservatives are Wasting Our Money – Time to Push Back!

      Dear Friend, It’s been just a month since Parliament resumed, and already the Conservative Party of Canada is back to their old tricks—paralyzing the House of Commons and wasting time. All of this is an attempt to push a narrative that “after nine years of Trudeau, everythin…

Poilievre and the Threat of Toxic Politics

      Dear Friend, Politics in Canada is often Shakesperean. “Full of sound and fury… signifying nothing.” But for heights of hyperbolic hyper-partisanship, Pierre Poilievre takes the cake. This week he said the Liberal government’s carbon price would cause a “nuclear winter” for …

The Bloc Threatens to Call an Election – Let’s Get Ready

      Dear Friend, This morning, the Bloc Québécois gave an ultimatum to Justin Trudeau: if their two bills aren’t passed into law by October 29, they will align with the Conservatives to trigger an early federal election. We need to be prepared for whatever happens next. With an …

Jagmeet and Pierre: More of the Same

      Hi Friend, On Thursday, both the federal and the BC NDP dropped even the pretense of caring about climate action. The “No-Discernible-Principles” party has reminded BC voters that it was the BC NDP who coined the slogan "Axe the Tax" nearly two decades before Pierre Poilievr…

An Election Could Be Triggered at Any Moment—We Need You

      Hi Friend, Yesterday, the NDP made a shocking announcement—they dissolved their confidence agreement with the Liberals, just days after Poilievre challenged them to do it. This political puppeteering has put Canada at risk of an election being called at any moment. Whenever …

It could happen across the country

      Hello Friend, As I'm sure you've seen by now Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives were able to win the by-election in Toronto–St. Paul's last night – for the first time since the 1980s. This could happen across the country in the next election. Voters are looking for change, and…
