This is the text of all that I wish I'd had time for. The 3 minute version of my Opening statement, on video, will be posted later today. The Closing is pretty much what I've said for most of the All Candidate Meetings.
"I am not running against these candidates – they’re all good candidates and…
The following paragraphs are excerpts from Opening & Closing statements at the many All Candidate Meetings I've participated in. Watch the web site this weekend for new video of final ACM and the last week of campaigning. We have striven to run a positive, hopeful campaign and believe we've succee…
I found this Conservative Party pamphlet issued after 2004 election returned a Liberal minority rather telling of how traditional parties change their messaging based on circumstances. I believe Green Party has been consistant and stay actively involved to ensure that remains the case. Minorit…
Closing remarks Port McNeill and Port Hardy All Candidates Meetings
Political platforms are living documents (at least they should be) to ensure the party is ready at any time to put forward a positive vision, grounded in current realities. So before you place your precious mark on the ballot May …

Canadian voters did not get value from the English national leaders’ debate. A wide range of critical issues were ignored while the four party leaders focused on attacking each other.
“We have been unfortunate enough to witness a low point in Canadian political history. The clear objective of al…
When the broadcast consortium denied the leader of the Green Party the forum to present and defend her party platform at the upcoming leaders' debate, Channel Zero decided to give her and all the leaders an opportunity to participate in an open debate. Elizabeth May has accepted the challenge. The o…
As our campaign for Sue Moen for Vancouver Island North progresses we continue to look to the Green Party of Canada for guidance and direction.
One of the 3 main platforms for the Green Party is Smart Economy. We hope you can find some time to go and have a look at the current budget overview. T…
(Vancouver Island North) – Speaking from Montreal today, Elizabeth May reaffirmed the Green Party’s commitment to rebuild Canada’s health care system, stop creeping privatization, and prevent the establishment of a two-tier system. Local Green candidate Sue Moen echoed the call.
“I’m glad the…
This is a member's reply to a Times Colonist editorial the last time the Conservatives talked about eliminating federal subsidies to political parties.
Your otherwise excellent editorial misses a very important point. The non-refundable tax credit is equivalent to a taxpayer top-up of $300 on …
Green Party calls for common ground on health careThe Green Party of Canada is concerned that voters are disengaging because politics have become so toxic. During the first week of the election, the Greens are challenging the other parties to be more positive by showing an ab… |
A local Green supporter has some further thoughts about the accuracy and efficacy of the VoteCompass at CBC.ca. I've seen other articles and blogs suggesting the design of the questions is flawed. What do you think?

The Green Party of Canada is a committed group of individuals – representing a diverse demographic of Canadians – who passionately believe in creating a better future for local communities, our nation, and indeed, the world.

Dear Mr. Duncan,
When you head back to Ottawa, could you convey the following message to Prime Minister Harper and your fellow Conservative s: Please stop telling me what I want.
I want a smart economy that serves my community, my family and neighbours. I care about the economy but that does…
The Green Party of Canada has launched a petition to follow other countries' lead in limiting political advertising to unpaid messages, and only during an election campaign. This would eliminate the hours of (particularly attack) ads throughout the years between elections as well as levellingthe fi…
With COP16, the next round of climate change negotiations, less than two weeks
away in Mexico, it is stunning that the Conservative majority in the Senate
would use a sneak attack to defeat the only climate legislation before Parliament.
Bill C-311, known as the Climate Accountability Act had p…
Dear Mr. Mair,
Once again, thank you for bringing the lively and inspiring ‘Take Back Our BC Tour’ to Courtenay. And thank you for your blunt answer to my question ‘Why do traditional and now alternative media ignore the Green Party and call for a new one, when we’ve been carrying the environmen…
