VOTE YOUR VALUES
Full Disclosure: Bob Jonkman, the 2019 Green Party of Canada Candidate for Brantford–Brant is my husband.
I fully support Bob’s campaign (which is why my own projects are languishing until this election is over) because I believe we need Bob in Parliament.
I can tell you Bob is perhaps the smartest most ethical man I’ve ever known. If Bob is elected, I believe we will get electoral reform to Proportional Representation. This is so important because it will make it possible for Canada to begin to actually solve our problems, rather than dance political rings around them as the big parties do. We need to restore and improve our universal healthcare (and reverse the privatization!). We need a government that understands the importance of transparent governance and personal privacy. A government that understands modern technology. And a government that will restore and honour our Charter Rights. We all need votes that count. And most important: we need to get to work on Climate Change now. Canada can be a climate leader but to be that we need to elect the right politicians.
This is why I think it’s so important to elect Bob.
So I will be posting more about Bob through the remaining days of the election.
If you want to see real change in Ottawa, if you want fair voting and real Climate Action that doesn’t include additional fossil fuel pipelines and Fracking, if you want human equity and actual reconciliation, if you live in Brantford–Brant, please consider casting your vote for Bob. If you’re a Canadian who doesn’t live in Brantford–Brant you can still support Bob with a donation here:
