Fairness isn’t radical, it’s common sense. The Green Party is fighting for a wealth tax so the richest pay their share and we can fund what matters for everyone. Together, we can make it happen.

Did you see the recent International Court of Justice decision on climate? Countries suffering the effects of climate change could soon sue BC for our high emissions.

We stand with the 34 BC organizations behind this letter, calling for immediate action from BC's government.

In 2023, Elizabeth May warned: "Our oceans are losing oxygen and choking on plastic." Now, Canada has a chance to lead by supporting a treaty on plastic pollution. It's time to protect our oceans and our future from the crisis of plastic overproduction.

Instead of taking action on the housing crisis, Carney’s first move in Parliament was to ram through Bill C-5, then head out for summer break. This is a crisis, it’s time the government acted like it. People need affordable housing, and the Greens won’t stop fighting for it
