Writing to remind you to donate by the end of the year to make sure you take advantage of the political contribution tax credit

  Hi Friend, We’ve accomplished so much in 2019 – and we have you to thank for it. But I’m worried. I’ve been reviewing our numbers and we’re coming up a little short. The year ahead will be filled with excitement. With a leadership contest coming up soon and our Charlottetown Convention in the…

Flash survey!

Time for our Saturday Morning Survey!! Hi Friend, I know the holidays are a busy time, so I’ll keep this brief. With only a few days left before the new year, our Green caucus would like your thoughts on what you think should be the top priorities in 2020. As a way to let Elizabeth May, Paul M…

As we ring in the new...

  Hi Friend, I am hoping you can help us show staying power as we head into 2020. Until we began to overtake the NDP in fundraising earlier in 2019, I had not realized how much donation levels are read by the pundits and pollsters as key signs of political clout. It is clear that every donation…

Gearing up

A government propaganda operation

  Hi Friend, Have you heard? Alberta Premier, Jason Kenney has invested $30 million of taxpayers’ money to set up a "war room" to promote pipelines and the fossil fuel industry. The propaganda from this war room is meant to mislead the public and help push through the projects of a government t…

My thoughts on the international climate conference

  Hi Friend, I just wanted to send you a quick note recounting my recent experience as part of the COP25 international climate conference in Madrid. Those of you who know me, know that I am committed to honesty so I won’t sugarcoat this for you. COP25 was a brutal experience. The last several d…

Oil execs don’t want you to know this

  Hi Friend, The largest oil sands project you’ve never heard of could break ground in the New Year.  It’s called the Teck Frontier Mine. And oil execs have been quietly promoting it for months. They’re hoping to get government approval in February. We cannot let them get away with this. I’m go…

Elizabeth May calls Greens to action ahead of Madrid climate meeting

  Hi Friend, The world has been burning all year – California, Spain, the Amazon rainforest, the Arctic, and now Australia. It’s clear that we’re in the middle of a climate crisis, and our leaders need to act. But Justin Trudeau isn’t. Friend, his climate targets are aiming at failure. DEMAND B…
