Watching those in power fail to take real climate action has been painful. We’ve been given a clear deadline, and we have solutions available. With the right leadership and political courage, we can fix this. thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

It's the same pattern every sitting with the Ford government: Scandal. Shutdown. Repeat.
The people of Ontario can see through the lack of honesty and transparency. If you think we need to do better, join us: gpo.ca/join/

Canada is falling behind because our government keeps choosing Big Oil over what Canadians need. Our future is renewable, it’s time to invest like it.

“I wonder how the slogan ‘Artificial Intelligence for All’ lands in Tumbler Ridge.”
Today in Question Period, @ElizabethMay challenged the Liberals’ new AI strategy, and asked the question they seem determined to avoid: who is this strategy really for?

It's always a pleasure to be on the OShow and chat with @LauraBabcock ! Thanks so much for having me on. #cdnpoli
Stuff in Trump’s head includes idea of expanding US territory but that’s war of 1800s! It’s dangerously delusional and reckless so why wouldn’t he appoint an arrogant insulting person to be ambassador from him to Canada?” 💥
May nails it. 🇨🇦 youtu.be/tjC-hzF3Yic?si… #Cndpoli

This Environment Week, the government wants to celebrate Canada’s climate record. But the truth is harder to ignore: Canada has the worst climate record in the G7. It’s time for a little less talk and a lot more action.

Happy Pride from the Green Party of Canada! Pride is both a celebration and a reminder: justice, dignity, and safety for 2SLGBTQIA people are non-negotiable. We remain committed to building a Canada where 2SLGBTQIA communities are protected, respected, and able to truly thrive.

I said what I said.
Sweeping omnibus Bill C-30 was pushed to a vote after just three hours of debate. Buried in it is Division 8, which weakens protections from toxic pesticides. So when @ElizabethMay was asked how the Greens would vote?
“No goddamn way.”

Even some of Canada’s wealthiest are calling for higher taxes on the ultra-rich, yet the government still refuses to act. What will it take to finally get a wealth tax?

MPs @ElizabethMay, @JohnNaterMP, & @BenCarrwpg have tabled petitions on behalf of their constituents demanding a ban on live horse exports for slaughter 🐴
Every day the Liberal government fails to keep its promise to end this cruel practice, more horses suffer on gruelling flights to Japan. Take action: bit.ly/3PE07UK #CdnPoli

UPDATE: Read the @CanadianGreens statement here: greenparty.ca/en/news/federa…
A wrecking ball comes to mind. These plans are an egregious attempt to frame environmental protections and Indigenous consultation as obstacles, rather than essential safeguards for communities, ecosystems, and future generations.
