I know I’m inspired by Greta Thunberg. And I’ve marched with many of the Canadian girls she had inspired to form their own #FridaysForFuture movements.
Girls can do what they set their minds to.
Petra Kelly’s Green Party has become a Global Greens movement. It is unsurprising that green party culture thrives on consensus building, rather than reimagining patriarchy as most other political parties do.
Perhaps that’s why our patriarchal culture has worked so hard to convince us we are not. Go girls!!!
New GPC Leader Annamie Paul’s press conference on why Greens will not support the Throne Speech.
Government failure to adequately address Long Term Care, properly provide for all Canadians with a UBI, and jeopardizing the future by failing to address climate change.
A sunflower is the emblem of the Green Party of Canada. After spending most of my life as a nonpartisan voter, voting always for the candidate who would best represent me, regardless of party, I became a member of the Green Party of Canada in 2015 when my husband was asked to be a candidate.
Working for his campaign, I learned enough about Green Party policy to not only remain a Green after the election, but to throw myself into working hard to help build the Green Party between elections.
Because the fact is, Canada is facing many problems, but instead of fixing them, the best Canadian governments manage is promises and the occasional bandaid. So problems get worse. We have too many problems to keep kicking them down the road for our kids and grandkids. Which is why kids are leading #FridaysForFuture.
The Green Party has answers, and most important, the political will to make those answers work. Green politicians aren’t career politicians, they are smart people who know things need to be fixed and are tired of waiting for the others to make it happen. Individual action is important, but we need the power of government to make systemic changes.
We can try to ignore politics, but politics impact on all of our lives. The time has come to get involved.
As we enter the 2nd wave of #COVID19, if Green Party policies resonate with you… policies like Guaranteed Livable Income (a #CERB for all where no one falls through the cracks), Universal Pharmacare, Healthcare, Post Secondary Education, a National Housing Strategy, and Climate Action built on science not propping up the fossil fuel industry, it’s time to start thinking green.
The Green Party of Canada just elected a brilliant capable leader. We need to help Annamie Paul take a seat in the House of Commons. And what better way to do that than help her win the Toronto Centre seat just vacated by scandal ridden Liberal Bill Morneau.
If you’re a Canadian it doesn’t matter where you live, you can donate and volunteer. The time has come to be daring.
The Green Party Leadership race, like any major party leadership, is important for all of Canada. TVO recognized this from the get go, but even so there has been very little serious MSM coverage.
In the Internet era, we’re no longer entirely at the mercy of MSM gatekeepers, so there’s been plenty to see online. Tonight CBC, Youtube and Facebook will present live election night coverage.
As most of the GPC Leadership campaign has coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, although a few of the Candidates had begun cross Canada tours when the shut downs hit, there has been very little opportunity for Green Party members to actually engage with leadership candidates face to face.
But that hasn’t stopped the Canadian Greens from putting on an excellent engaging leadership campaign. Interim Leader Jo-Ann Robert’s People, Politics and Planet podcast hosted interviews with all the candidates. We began with 10 candidates, and end with 8 going into tonight’s election.
When I began Whoa!Canada I’d been determinedly non-partisan all my life. For various reasons I did end up joining a party —the Green Party of Canada—in middle age. Even so, I’ve worked to keep partisanship out of this blog. But the Green Party Leadership race, like any major party leadership, is important for all of Canada.
