Happy International Women's Day!

  Dear Friend, Happy International Woman's Day! Celebrated since the beginning of the 20th century, March 8th has been a day to promote, value, and advance women's rights. March 8 has huge meaning for me. I had a life-changing conversation at a celebration of International Women's Day at a pub …

In trying times, I bet on the Greens and so should you

  Hi Friend, In less than 48 hours, the New Year will be banging on our doors. It will barge in, whether we want it or not. I don’t know how it is for you, but for me, it is always a time of introspection, remembrance and reckoning. My year started horribly.  On January 1, 2022, I welcomed the …

From Yellowknife to Kitchener, we can elect Green MPs across the country

  Hi Friend, Over the holidays I spent a week in Yellowknife. And what struck me most - besides the -30C temperatures - was the potential we have to elect a Green there.  Why? Because of the similarities with Kitchener Centre, and with so many other ridings across the country. Ridings where the…

Canada’s Reckless Stonewalling at COP27 Must Not Repeat at COP15

  Hello Friend, Canada is a repeat offender. Since the Kyoto Protocol was signed – 25 years ago – Canada has met none of its global climate action commitments.  It is strange that we would now be rewarded with hosting an international conference meant to address a biodiversity crisis that stems…

Canada's forests are being sold for firewood

  Hello Friend, Imagine for a moment that you would burn wood to make energy.  Here in the 21st century, this quaintly anachronistic notion seems ridiculous. But it’s true and it’s happening on a huge industrial scale and it is taking mountains of Canadian lumber to do it.  The company’s name i…

Leading the Charge!

  Hi Friend, They are calling Fiona a “post-tropical storm” but what it really represents is a new and terrifying level of climate catastrophe, and we can expect more just like it. Or worse. Much of Canada’s east coast is just starting to see the awful damage caused over the weekend.  Homes sma…

Forty years and then what?
