  It’s Election Day, Friend! Millions of Canadians have already voted, and soon we will know how many Green MPs will be heading to Ottawa. Canada needs Green MPs in the House of Commons to hold the other parties accountable, push for more progressive policies, and bring forward bo…

  Dear Friend, We are nearing the finish line. Only days to go until we VOTE and until we know the composition of our next Parliament. We have never ever before needed elected Green MPs as much as we do in 2025. So you may be thinking, the campaign has to be wrapping up. No more n…

  Friend, just four more sleeps until Election Day — and the momentum is building! Elections Canada reports that 7.3 million people have cast their ballots in the advance polls. That’s huge. But here’s the opportunity: 7% of voters say they’re still undecided. That’s hundreds of t…
