VOTE VOTE VOTE (green)!!! 💚✨💚✨💚✨💚
We're tree huggers, and proud of it. But climate action is always about people. It's about ending poverty. It's about Indigenous rights. It's about equity. It's about our very survival.
Today is the most important election in Canadian history. The people elected today will determine the direction our country takes, in the face of the greatest challenge our species has ever faced.
I'll be honest: I hate politics. But I saw a political landscape that wasn't wasn't respecting the natural world and wasn't working for people, and so I stepped up. It hasn't always been easy. Most of my political career has been spent as a lone Green MP (until Paul Manly won in Nanaimo!). I've worked my heart out, to make life better for everyone. Two years ago, I'm proud to say, I achieved the most amendments to legislation of any other MP in Canadian history. I saw that legislation needed to be improved and so I worked to improve it, across party lines. My fellow MPs have voted me the hardest working Parliamentarian. I do this because I care. I do this because we need to start prioritizing people over money.
Today, I'm asking you to help put more Greens in Parliament, to back me up, so we can speak truth to power, and hold the other parties to account.
Green momentum keeps surging, even in the face of attacks trying to keep us down. Greens have been winning in provinces across the country, and driving forward historic climate action and social programs. When Paul Manly became the second-elected Green MP, the Liberals and the NDP snapped into action and declared a climate emergency.
This is it. This is the climate election. I've dedicated my life to a safe climate, Indigenous rights, and a fair chance for everyone. Today, be part of something big. This election, vote Green.
