On December 14, 1995, Jean Augustine rose in Parliament with a motion to recognize February as Black History Month in Canada.
Since then, it’s been a time to highlight and celebrate Black communities in Canada and the countless remarkable contributions they’ve made to our country.

The gap keeps growing, leaving everyday Canadians struggling to get by. This isn’t accidental, it’s the result of policies designed to benefit the wealthy and corporate elite. We're fighting for a future where everyone thrives, not just the top 1% #JoinOurFight #VoteGreen

$15K for endangering lives? That’s not accountability, it’s a slap on the wrist. Polluters must face real consequences and stronger regulations to prevent these disasters. The Green Party is fighting for real action to protect communities and hold polluters accountable #VoteForIt

Authoritarianism is on the rise in the United States under Donald Trump, posing a direct threat to Canada's freedom, democracy, and sovereignty. The Green Party is taking a stand with bold plans to protect our country. It's time to defend Canada. #TeamCanada

Treating international relations as a card game with bluffing, power plays, & short-term wins fuels mistrust and instability. Real lives, economies, & ecosystems are at stake. Sustainable peace needs trust, transparency, & cooperation beyond zero-sum thinking. #GeopoliticalRealism #BeyondTheGame

Ukraine, Gaza and China will all test his self-interested approach to diplomacy

Indigenous reconciliation is about more than a relationship with natural resources.
Pierre Poilievre and a Conservative government will backtrack this very important relationship Canada has with our Indigenous peoples. We can’t let that happen. 1/2
