Want Green. Vote Green.

  Hi Friend, Tonight is our first fundraising deadline of this election campaign. This benchmark is a big deal. Greens are known for doing things differently. The parties who stick to politics-as-usual have big campaign budgets, and they’ll be working hard to persuade Canadian voters to keep th…

Only one!

  Friend, You only get one opportunity to start a campaign strong — don’t let this moment pass us by. Our first critical fundraising deadline of this election is tomorrow at 11:59 PM (PT), Vancouver time. Here is the record we have attached to your email address for this election thus far: Ri…

Your help needed, Friend

  Friend, Thanks to the hard work of over 33,000 members, countless volunteers and dedicated supporters like you, we have come so far — let's keep the momentum going. Friend, the election has started. I am asking you to help make a difference on the campaign trail by donating $10.00 today. Our…

Just checking

  Hi Friend, We’ve kicked off our Green campaign! I will be watching our progress closely in these crucial first days. I was just checking the data and if even a handful of people in your riding donate today, we’re going to be well on the way to meeting our goals! Could you be one of those supp…

Hope

  Hi Friend, To be blunt, Greens didn’t want this election. A fourth wave of the pandemic and raging forest fires is no time for one. But the campaign has begun, and we’re going into the next five weeks with hope in our hearts and change on our minds. It’s plain to see the Liberals are going fo…

Here we go!

  This is it, Friend. I am sure you have heard, but in case you missed it, here is the big news — the 2021 election has been called. We made history with our Leader Annamie Paul, and we have achieved so much in the 10-plus years since Elizabeth May became the first elected Green in Canadian his…

Be Daring.

Dear Friend, It’s official. The Liberals have called an election for September 20, so we are now in campaign mode. First and foremost, you can count on Greens to stand up for your safety in this first-ever pandemic federal election. Politics should never come ahead of your health and, wit…

Election 2021 is here —

  Friend, It’s happening! The Liberal government called a federal election today. Now it’s our time. Time for us to rally together and proudly introduce Canadian voters to the Green leaders who will champion real climate action, social justice, true reconciliation and so much more in Parliament…

The big reveal

  Friend, After months of will-he-won’t-he, it now looks certain that Justin Trudeau will call a federal election tomorrow. Why now? Well, it seems the Liberals like the way the polls are looking and they want to take a shot at a majority. Even though we voted just two years ago and Canada is n…

IPCC Report: I know this was a hard read but we can’t let this news extinguish our hope and paralyze action

Hello Friend, Days ago, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed what we’ve known for a long time: climate change is here, it is caused by humans and we need urgent action to limit the most severe impacts of a warming planet. The IPCC report was very hard to rea…

Where there’s hope, there’s action.

Hello Friend, This year has set heat records. In British Columbia, hundreds — hundreds — of people died in the extreme heat. The communities of Lytton and Monte Lake burned to the ground. Wildfires are still burning out of control. It’s 2021 and the climate crisis is upon us. Now our wind…

Climate action: the time is now, Friend

Hello Friend, Recent events bring home that the impacts of climate change are here now. Canada needs to take decisive action to avoid the worst of the climate crisis. The facts speak clearly: Canada’s current greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are 21 per cent above 1990 levels. Canada’s GHG…

We want to hear from you: 2021 Green Survey

Dear Friend, As I walk through my neighbourhood, I see people in need, and people determined to help. No matter where you live, I’m sure you’re seeing this too. I see the need for food security in the food bank lineups that wrap around the block. The need for affordable and supportive ho…

Electoral urgency.

  Hi Friend, Like me, you’ve probably seen media reports that the Liberal Party has declared “electoral urgency” to speed up its election preparations. The latest news is that the Prime Minister will send voters to the polls in the fall. All this speculation puts a lot of pressure on our party’…

Impact.

  Hi Friend, Electing Greens makes all the difference. Not only do they move our country towards progressive policies to launch a green recovery, complete the social safety net and forges a just society, their presence — at any level in Canada — paves the way for even more Greens in Ottawa. The…

When it counts

This is worth reading

Decriminalization. Safe supply. Support.

Hi Friend, The federal government still insists on treating drug use and addiction as a criminal matter. The reality is, addiction is a health issue and criminalization is a key contributor to opioid-related deaths. Opioid-related deaths are at record highs, with 18 people dying each day…

My family’s story.

Hi Friend, My father died one year ago.  He was a resident in a long-term care (LTC) facility in Ontario and, like so many deaths in LTC during the pandemic, his was avoidable. Much of the care of LTC residents is done by their families; facilities are frequently understaffed, and loved o…

Take action for students

Hello Friend, I see it in my community, and I know it’s happening across the country. The pandemic has hit students hard. 207,000 people in Canada lost their jobs last month, and almost half were youth. As the summer job season begins, pandemic restrictions and lockdowns are still in pla…

They said it could never happen – and then it did!

  Dear Friend, It was 10 years ago this week that the voters of Saanich–Gulf Islands made the historic choice to send me to Parliament as Canada’s first Green MP. People said that a Green could never be elected under the first-past-the-post system. They said that we were too idealistic, too new…

Our chance of a lifetime.
