Dear Friend, Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois declared its intent to bring down the Trudeau government at the first chance it gets after its ultimatum to pass two specific laws expired. This push for an election couldn’t come at a worse time, and we believe it shows a reckless …

      Dear Friend, Working in Parliament, through the dreary and predictable partisan debates, I often think of American journalist H.L. Mencken's keen observation: "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."   Conservative sloganeering further…

      Dear Friend, It’s been just a month since Parliament resumed, and already the Conservative Party of Canada is back to their old tricks—paralyzing the House of Commons and wasting time. All of this is an attempt to push a narrative that “after nine years of Trudeau, everythin…

      Dear Friend, Politics in Canada is often Shakesperean. “Full of sound and fury… signifying nothing.” But for heights of hyperbolic hyper-partisanship, Pierre Poilievre takes the cake. This week he said the Liberal government’s carbon price would cause a “nuclear winter” for …

      Dear Friend, This morning, the Bloc Québécois gave an ultimatum to Justin Trudeau: if their two bills aren’t passed into law by October 29, they will align with the Conservatives to trigger an early federal election. We need to be prepared for whatever happens next. With an …

      Dear Friend, Your support for the Green Party of Canada is like planting a seed that grows into a mighty forest of change. I’m Jon Irwin, your new Interim Executive Director, and I want to show you how your donation creates a ripple effect across our political landscape. Her…

      Hi Friend, On Thursday, both the federal and the BC NDP dropped even the pretense of caring about climate action. The “No-Discernible-Principles” party has reminded BC voters that it was the BC NDP who coined the slogan "Axe the Tax" nearly two decades before Pierre Poilievr…

      Hi Friend, Yesterday, the NDP made a shocking announcement—they dissolved their confidence agreement with the Liberals, just days after Poilievre challenged them to do it. This political puppeteering has put Canada at risk of an election being called at any moment. Whenever …

      Dear Friend, Green candidates are off to the races! Given the media's immersion in all things Paris Olympics, forgive me for the sporting metaphors. Our Green cousins in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and British Columbia all have province-wide elections in late October. Pleas…

      Dear Friend, I was talking with a climate scientist the other day. "My wife," he said, "tells me no one wants to hear me say 'I told you so.'" No doubt. He writes "we were warned." but no one wants to hear that either. And no one, not the CBC nor the Globe and Mail wants to …

      Dear Friend, Earlier this year, Kitchener’s artists reached out to Green MP Mike Morrice regarding the lack of federal funding for arts & culture in the region. So Mike’s team got to work, crunched the numbers, and found massive inequalities. While the three highest fund…

      Hello Friend, As I'm sure you've seen by now Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives were able to win the by-election in Toronto–St. Paul's last night – for the first time since the 1980s. This could happen across the country in the next election. Voters are looking for change, and…

      Hello Friend, On Sunday, this young lady turned 70!   As Canada’s only woman and longest serving federal leader, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands since 2011, Elizabeth has changed the game forever for environmentalism and politics in Canada. Her wisdom and willingness to look b…

    Dear Friend, Today, April 22nd, is Earth Day—a day dedicated to celebrating our beautiful planet and uniting in the fight against environmental threats. This year, the theme of Earth Day is focused on one of our greatest challenges: plastic waste. Microplastics, tiny fragments…

    Dear Friend, The climate crisis is escalating, and it's time for big oil companies to pay. Inspired by Green MP Mike Morrice's relentless efforts, we're rallying to demand the introduction of a Windfall Tax on the excess profits of the oil and gas sector. We want to the govern…

    Hi Friend, The clock's ticking down to Monday, when we're set to report the Green Party's first-quarter fundraising numbers to Elections Canada. Why are we telling you this? Once these numbers are published on the Elections Canada website, they're more than just figures—they'r…
