“A flood doesn’t stop to ask about your politics before it sweeps away your home. Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk: and we know without a shadow of a doubt that it’s getting worse due to climate change.”— @katharinehayhoe.com in @time.com #ClimateCrisis
What the Floods in Texas Tell Us About Climate Change

Monday May 19th join me for a ride from Waterloo Public Square to St Jacob’s village for a coffee and back. 🚴☕️

I’ll be the one in green plaid and a bike helmet hanging around the Waterloo Bell at 1pm. 😉

We’ll hit Laurel Trail, Market Trail, and Heath Valley Trail to keep us off the roads.

Bill 5 is a disaster.

In addition letting corporations ignore environmental regulations, labour laws and Indigenous consultation, Bill 5 will also let them dig up and pave over archeological sites.

Big congrats to Elizabeth May on her re-election in Saanich—Gulf Islands! We’re heartbroken Mike Morrice won’t return to Parliament. His integrity and drive for justice will be missed. Endless thanks to Jonathan, Paul & all our candidates who inspired across Canada.
The image depicts a scenic view of Saanich, BC, with a dark green overlay. In the centre of the image is a photo of Elizabeth May inside a light green semicircle. Below her image is large white text that reads, “Congratulations!” followed by smaller white text in all caps that reads, “to Green Party Leader.” Large white text reading “Elizabeth May” appears inside a green bar that matches the width of the semicircle above. Below this is smaller white text in all caps that reads, “on being re-elected in Saanich–Gulf Islands!”

We’re regrouping with clear eyes and renewed determination. Now’s the time to lean in.

Donate, volunteer, or share our message. Every bit helps us grow stronger. A new chapter is starting for the Green Party, and it’s one we’re writing together.
Light green background with white header reading "The results weren’t what we hoped for, but we’re not going anywhere." Dark green half circle with body text reading "We're taking this moment to listen, learn, and rebuild. The Green movement is growing, and needed now more than ever. We’re in this for the long haul. Let’s build what comes next. Together."

Five bold steps to tackle the cost of living crisis, paid for by taxing mega corporations, making the 1% pay their fair share, and reshaping our economy to work for people, not just profits. This is what real progress looks like. #CostOfLiving #VoteForIt
On a light green background, a large dark green title reads, “Five ways Greens will tackle the cost of living crisis:” Entering from the right side is a dark green curved end bar containing an illustration of two people holding up the roof of a house. Next to the illustration, there is small text that reads, “We'll build public, affordable housing that won't cost more than 30% of the occupant's regular income.” Entering from the left side is another dark green curved end bar containing an illustration of two hands growing intertwining vines. Next to the illustration, there is small text that reads, “Mental health care, dental care, and pharmacare? All brought into our universal public system.” In the bottom right corner is a dark green arrow indicating more slides to follow. On a light green background, there are three dark green curved end bars. The first bar enters from the left and contains an illustration of an intergenerational family. Next to the illustration, there is small text that reads, “Universal, affordable early learning and child care — long overdue.” The second bar enters from the right and contains an illustration of six people embracing and supporting each other. Next to the illustration, there is small text that reads, “Paid leave will go beyond new parents to include elder care, miscarriage, and other family needs.” The third enters from the left and contains an illustration of three people. Next to the illustration, there is small text that reads, “And yes, a Guaranteed Livable Income, so no one lives in poverty.” In the bottom right corner is a dark green arrow indicating more slides to follow. The background contains a dark green image overlaid by a black and white photo of Co-Leader Elizabeth May embracing a supporter while sign-waving.
