The Green Party may be 40, but I’m not!

  Hi Friend, I hope you saw Elizabeth’s email yesterday! Amazing that the Green Party of Canada is older than I am. Please do join the Founders Circle. We have a lot of fun activities planned. Meanwhile, I am too busy knocking on doors in NDG-Westmount to give Elizabeth much help in fundraising…

World Environment Day is our birthday!

  Dear Friend, Last year we chose World Environment Day – June 5th – as Giving Day for the Green Party of Canada! And you – our members and supporters – gave generously. On that day we raised over $40,000. This year, June 5, 2023, is Giving Day, World Environment Day – and it is also the birth…

Demand real action on climate change

  Hi Friend, From coast to coast to coast, the effects of climate change are hitting Canadians harder and harder every year. Severe storms, flooding and wildfires have devastated communities across the country. The 2021 heat dome killed over 600 British Columbians in four days.  We have known f…

Let’s Stop Octopus Farming in Canada - before it starts

  Hi Friend, You might not think of octopuses as sentient, loveable creatures - but did you know that they're incredibly intelligent, inquisitive, and capable of complex behaviours? Unfortunately, this hasn't stopped companies around the world from planning to farm them by the millions, and we …

Happy Earth Day

  Hello Friend, Today, April 22nd, is Earth Day.  On every April 22nd, for the last 53 years, public events have been held to increase awareness of the urgent need to protect Mother Earth. Across Canada, Green Party volunteers have created local events that focus on the climate crisis. From Ne…

Special offer- Peace by Chocolate

  Dear Friend, I hope you saw this. Who would have thought that my impulse buy of Peace by Chocolate to give US President Joe Biden would be the CBC "Moment?" Well, I want to share that moment and pass it along. My new friend Tareq Hadhad, founder and CEO of Peace by Chocolate, is letting me b…

How was your Earth Hour?

From Yellowknife to Kitchener, we can elect Green MPs across the country

  Hi Friend, Over the holidays I spent a week in Yellowknife. And what struck me most - besides the -30C temperatures - was the potential we have to elect a Green there.  Why? Because of the similarities with Kitchener Centre, and with so many other ridings across the country. Ridings where the…

Canada’s Reckless Stonewalling at COP27 Must Not Repeat at COP15

  Hello Friend, Canada is a repeat offender. Since the Kyoto Protocol was signed – 25 years ago – Canada has met none of its global climate action commitments.  It is strange that we would now be rewarded with hosting an international conference meant to address a biodiversity crisis that stems…

Canada's forests are being sold for firewood
