My message to the Prime Minister: Oil is Dead

  Dear Friend, I said it yesterday and I will keep on saying it: It makes no sense to try to "save" a dying industry. As crashing demand and a global price war push Big Oil out of the oil sands, it is time to face facts. Oil is on the way out and renewables are the future. We must retool our in…

Guaranteed Livable Income, virus or not

  Hi Friend, Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched our politicians do something truly unusual. Something we, as Greens, have been calling for for many years. MPs started to work across party lines to get money into the pockets of Canadians affected by COVID-19. They’re showing us what Canada c…
