Reflecting on her first 100 days in office while navigating public health restrictions, Green Party leader guesses she has likely done 90 stakeholder meetings. “We really tried to do all the things that you would do," she said.

The solutions to fix dire conditions in long-term care homes already exist — however the political will is missing, according to experts and politicians who spoke at an emergency town hall on Monday.

Dianne Saxe was the Ontario environmental commissioner from 2015 until 2019, when the Ford government eliminated her position. On Friday, Canada's National Observer reported that Saxe would run for the Greens in 2022.

“Canadians don’t like to hear it, and I don’t like to say it, but even under Donald Trump, the Americans did a better job at tackling the climate emergency over his four years than Canada did,” newly elected Green party Leader Annamie Paul said during a public conversation via Zoom on Thursday.

Annamie Paul, leader of the Green Party of Canada, will join Linda Solomon Wood in conversation on Nov. 12. Here's some background and context.

The federal Liberals saw their share of the vote drop in two Toronto byelections on Monday, October 26, 2020, a humbling result for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the first electoral test of his government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Acclaimed author Shaena Lambert was electrified by Petra Kelly — a founder of the original Green party struggling to save the world in Cold War-era Germany — when the activist spoke at a massive Vancouver peace festival in 1986.

“You get to a point where you say, 'We do not have the conditions for a free and fair and democratic election,'" says the new Green leader.

Young climate activists who have recently joined the federal Greens want newly crowned leader Annamie Paul to reach out to them and push more aggressive pandemic recovery plans than she has so far laid out.

"I have to say that the road to drug addiction, and dying on the street, is one that I’ve seen myself close to," said leadership contestant Amita Kuttner.

Members of Parliament across Canada are waiting to learn whether they will have to make their way to Ottawa tomorrow, April 20, 2020, as negotiations continue between the Liberals and Opposition parties about whether the House of Commons will re-open on Monday and under what terms.

The Green Party added its voice to the chorus calling on the government to give farmers an exemption for the tax on the natural gas or propane used in grain-drying machines.

It's disrespectful that Premier John Horgan won't meet with five hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline while he is touring northern British Columbia, says the highest-ranking chief.

Capping a week of meetings with opposition leaders, Justin Trudeau met on Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, with the Green party's Elizabeth May, who says she will vote against the Liberal government in confidence motions unless the prime minister commits to measures that lower Canada's carbon emissions sharply.

The longtime leader told reporters that she had promised her daughter to hand over the party after the 2019 campaign.
