Up for debate.

  Friend — It is already here. Can you believe it? Tonight at 8 p.m. EDT Annamie Paul will stand on the stage with the other major party leaders in the first big debate of the 2021 election, and her first debate as Leader of the Green Party of Canada. I know that, like us, you can’t wait to che…

Supporters needed from your riding

  Hi Friend, It’s almost time for the highly anticipated Leaders’ Debates, and our campaign has an ambitious goal of raising $40,000 this week alone. It’s true that we don’t have the same kind of funding as the other big parties. But Greens always pull together, and this $40,000 target is impor…

1,026 Greens

  Friend, It’s debate week, probably the most important week in our national campaign. We are already getting a lot of attention in national and local media and connecting with undecided voters. Now Annamie will take the stage at the Leaders’ Debates and present our daring vision for a better, …

  Hi Friend, We’re less than a week away from the start of advance voting. On Sept 10, Canada starts heading to the polls and has the opportunity to elect more Greens to help usher in a green future, an expanded social safety net to ensure life with dignity, and progressive politics in Ottawa. …

The climate election.

  Friend, After a summer of catastrophic climate-related disasters and the loudest climate alarm bell sounded by the scientific community yet, it is clear: this election is one of our most important chances for real climate action. This must be the election that ushers in urgent and decisive cl…

August Fundraising Deadline

  Friend, Election day will be here before we know it. Wednesday is the first day of the new month and, with just 21 days to go, we need your support. The money we raise before this fundraising deadline pays for every essential piece of the Green campaign in September. Will you make a gift? Wha…

Voting by mail

  Hi Friend, Have you made your plan to vote? We encourage voting early at advance polls, from September 10 to 13. Or you can vote on election day, September 20.  But this year, if voting by mail is the best option for you, we’re here to help and to highlight some important dates. We recommend …

A few dollars for the climate

  Friend, I’ve seen the numbers, and our campaign is aiming high for this end-of-the-month fundraising deadline. Grassroots power is the key to political change, and we’re counting on you to help us exceed our goals. Giving just a small amount can put power behind our calls for climate justice.…

This is an opportunity we must take

  Dear Friend, This is my third campaign in two years. We first made history in Nanaimo-Ladysmith in a May 2019 by-election. We kept our momentum soaring in the 2019 federal election, and I am running again this year. Representing my community in Ottawa is a great honour, and I am excited to ge…

$5

  Hi Friend,  If I told you that $5 could move Canada towards the urgent and decisive climate action needed to guarantee a liveable future, would you give $5? If I told you that $5 could propel us towards a Green Recovery where energy workers move into higher-paid, safer green work and we creat…

Code Red for Humanity

  Dear Friend, The IPCC report, the sixth assessment report of the physical science, could not have been clearer. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres described the report as “Code Red for humanity.” And yet the political theatre that passes for democratic debate in this country remains mired …

“Too ambitious”

  Hi Friend, “Too risky.” “Too bold.” “Too ambitious.” This is what the old-school political pundits are saying about Annamie Paul’s decision to run in Toronto Centre. But they’re wrong. Why? Because the old guard doesn’t have the kind of bold vision we Greens have for Canada. In last year’s by…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Electoral urgency.
