A big thanks as well to everyone who voted Green in St. John's East and Cape Spear. Although we didn't get elected, you've shown that, even with this highly polarised election, people do care about Green issues. Other politicians will notice this and hopefully adopt some of our policies.

There’s little money for climate action, for housing, for public transit, but there’s always money for fossil fuel handouts?
The Green Party would put that money where it belongs: into people, not polluters.

The Green Party of Canada released their full platform. I’m just starting to dig in, but it looks like it’s going to be an interesting read. This is not your parents’ “conservatives on bikes” Green Party, they’re headed in a really interesting direction.
