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!”

Elizabeth May a montré à quoi ressemble un leadership fort et fondé sur des principes. Le Parlement a besoin de plus de femmes qui dirigent avec clarté, courage et détermination. Construisons un avenir avec plus de voix comme la sienne.

By doing an analysis of the various sort of mini-bioregions/eco-areas within Portage-Lisgar, it would provide jobs for young people and help people transition out of more destructive jobs." ~Janine Gibson, Portage-Lisgar Green Party Candidate

"We need to understand that the riparian areas enrich the whole bioregion. Paying landowners to maintain their wetlands and riparian areas would actually save a lot of money."

"Flooding is an issue. I would look to ensure that taxes are changed so that anyone who is retaining water, holding water, maintaining the wetlands and riparian areas are given tax bonuses. They would not be taxed on their wetlands because that's what's encouraged a lot of drainage in the area."
