In a country as wealthy as Canada, why are families going hungry while billionaires get richer? It’s time to end extreme wealth and build a Canada that takes care of people. #Wealthtaxnow

NO SHIT!!!!

Don’t just sit there and opine. Sign this petition. It’s easy, and does not collect your contact info. The government must answer. Its powerful.

This petition asks the government to adopt a new target and use a climate budget to show us they are progressing.

🎉 MASSIVE congratulations to Hannah Spencer on being elected to represent Gorton & Denton in the House of Commons for @greenparty.org.uk.

This is an unprecedented result, enlarging further the biggest representation of Greens in UK history.

Hope is stronger than hate.

Today in Question Period, Elizabeth May pressed the government on building the housing Canadians need. The response? “We need to focus on what we can control.” Canadians need housing, not excuses.

What nonsense from the Minister of Clearcutting Old Growth! Has the Minister even read the cited recommendations that he and his government are ignoring?

It’s time to invest in clean energy Canadians can count on. Greens are ready to put people first and build clean power that lowers costs, creates jobs, and cuts pollution. Let's build it together 🟢

Balcony Solar

What if you could put a solar panel on the balcony of your apartment, plug it into your wall outlet, and lower your electricity bill? Balcony solar may soon be a lot easier in BC

No minister should get to decide who the law applies to. Elizabeth May sounded the alarm on Bill C-15’s “exemption power” and we won new safeguards 🙌 But we’re not done: delete the exemption power entirely.

Infographic titled “WHAT’S IN OUR GREEN ANALOGUE BAG?” A quilted green shoulder bag sits in the centre on a light background. Green arrows point to items around it: a pink digital camera, a library card, the book The Intersectional Environmentalist labeled “Current read,” transit maps, a seed packet for pollinator plants, a Canadian nature wordsearch, a reusable water bottle with the Green Party of Canada logo, and red-and-white Canada mittens.

I LOVE that my city, Victoria, BC, Canada, keeps building out its protected bike lane network. This means:
1. We can get around easily, safely, and joyfully, avoiding the burden of car ownership
AND
2. We don’t have to spend endless hours begging the city for safe infrastructure. #yyj

Some very powerful people want us to believe human labor is obsolete & way too many people are buying it.

Don’t let them make you think that you are disposable.

Time to revive the idea of a job guarantee. They just created a bunch of fascist ICE jobs overnight. Imagine that for work that matters.

Green poster with a textured “invoice” sheet. Large headline reads “Environmental Racism in Canada:” with a green label “Who pays?” The invoice lists: Date—Black History Month; Issued to—Government of Canada; Paid by—Black communities; Terms—Overdue. Below are impacts: Housing—displacement and lost community wealth; Health—pollution and toxic exposure harming families for generations; Food—higher food insecurity in Black and racialized communities; Heat—climate impacts felt first and worst. A green stamp reads “Overdue: A plan to end environmental racism (C-226).” Green Party of Canada logo at bottom.

This Black History Month, we’re asking what environmental justice looks like in practice. Canada has a law (C-226) that requires a national strategy to address environmental racism. The debt is overdue. Let's pay it back with action. #BlackHistoryMonth

840 jobs cut at Environment and Climate Change Canada, leaving Canadians flying blind on climate risks, extreme weather, and public safety. Canadians deserve science we can count on, not cuts that put health and safety on the line.

The new robber barons: a quarter century of wealth concentration in Canada Wealth and political influence tend to reinforce each other. Tracking who owns wealth and how that distribution is changing is more important than ever for the health of our democracy and the future of Canada.

Wealth inequality is a growing issue in Canada and our tax system must be overhauled to tax high-end wealth and capital income more effectively in order to benefit the public good, shows a new report by Silas Xuereb & Alex Hemingway

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said. Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points, leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops, they said. This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach. The climate would also be very different to the benign conditions of the past 11,000 years, during which the whole of human civilisation developed. Continue reading...

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.
