Reconciliation requires action.

The Green Party stands for decisive action and real accountability to build & re-build trust with First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities.

Curving around the top of the illustration is a bold header that reads, “Indigenous Reconciliation”, followed by smaller text that continues, “Looks Like…” In the top right corner, an arrow indicates there are more images. Below the illustration, bold light green text states, “Honouring treaties. Upholding Indigenous rights.” followed by dark green text, “Taking real action on justice and self-determination.” and returning to bold light green text, “This means action, not just words.” On a dark green background, a white header reads, “The Green Party will:” followed by a list of commitments: “Implement all 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Enact every Call for Justice from the MMIWG Inquiry. End the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the justice system. Fund restorative justice programs. Support Indigenous-led searches of residential school sites. Ensure full access to clean water, healthcare, and education.” In the top right corner, an arrow indicates there are more images. On a white background, dark green text states, “For too long, governments have made promises on Indigenous reconciliation, then failed to follow through.” This is followed by bold light green text, “Enough is Enough.” Smaller dark green text continues, “It’s time for real action, real accountability, and real change.

Canada’s future shouldn’t be left to chance. Greens are pushing for real solutions that protect our sovereignty, economy, and democracy. #VoteForIt
Tweet from Jonathan Pedneault on a green gradient background. Text reads "Greens are fighting for affordability. We're fighting for a Canada that has control over its own resources. Most importantly we're fighting for a livable future. While Canadians wait in uncertainty for news about the threatened tariffs, Greens are advocating for YOU."

We're introducing a plan for paid Elder Care so families don't have to choose between loved ones or paying the bills.

Because it the Green Party will always support caregivers 🫂
On a light green background, there is an illustration of a multigenerational family overlaying a white bar. Above them is a bold header that reads, “Caring for Your Loved Ones Shouldn’t Cost You.” Below the family, there is smaller blue body text that reads, “No one should have to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for an aging loved one, but right now, too many Canadians are forced to do exactly that.” This continues in bold dark green text: “The Green Party is ready to take action.” On a light blue background, there is an illustration of a plant growing out of a green bowl. Above the plant is a bold header that reads, “How would paid Elder Care leave impact you?” This continues in smaller text: “Let us know in the comments below, and vote for it.” Inside the bowl of the plant is body text that reads, “We’re introducing paid Elder Care leave, because taking care of your loved ones shouldn’t come at a financial cost.” This continues in slightly larger text: “This is about fairness, dignity, and real support for families.”

For too long our broken tax system has offered a leg up to the richest, and placed the economic burden on the poorest. We're ready to change that. Because there should be more for you, less for yachts. 🟢
The image is a social media-style post featuring Jonathan Pedneault, Co-leader of the Green Party of Canada. The post has a green background and contains a message about tax reform. Text reads "Working full-time & still struggling? It’s not your budget that's broken. It's the system. Raising the tax-free threshold to $40K puts up to $3,675 back in your hands—funded by fair corporate taxes. More for you. Less for yachts."
