Support solar energy in Simcoe-Grey – Stop the MicroFIT tariff reduction

BillH — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:09:06 +0000

The Green Party is launching a campaign to call on Premier McGuinty to honour his word and stand behind the promised pricing for all current solar MicroFIT applications. Recent tariff reductions for ground mounted solar projects will hurt thousands of farmers and other project owners, as well as solar installers and manufactures.

New Ecos Poll Good for Greens!

Ron F — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:06:29 +0000

The latest Ecos Poll bodes well for the Green Party of Canada especialy in BC and Ontario where we are strongest, however with an election looming thanks to the Conservative Party’s threat to call an election if the senate does not pass the Omnibus Budget bill that includes the Sale of Atomic Energy of Canada, further privatization of Canada Post and Environmental assesment reduction or elimination among other things. With the Liberals flagging it’s time for the Green Party and it’s supporters to come out on mass and volunteer, donate, talk to friends and family and most importantly vote! If we ever needed change in Ottawa it’s now, toss out the culture of entitlement and this whole natural governing party business and, catch the Green wave and make a change for the better in Ottawa.

Green Party Fortunes Continue to Rise – EKOS Poll

Ron F — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:49:48 +0000

The latest EKOS Poll suggests Green Party support is reaching significant ground in BC, Ontario and Quebec, while maintaining solid support in the other regions. In Ontario Alberta and Quebec we are leading the NDP, if this trend continues we will be looking at bringing in our first seats in the next election, but we need all our supporters between elections to come out on voting day and be our committed supporters and VOTE GREEN, and bring home the Seats the Green Party Deserves. In the last election the Green Party, garnered almost 1 million votes and got no seats but the separatist block got about as many votes and over 50 seats. An injustice for sure but mathematically probable when our vote is truly national and spread across Canada while the Bloc’s is concentrated in one province, this is compounded by the fact that roughly half our supporters appear to either not vote or switch votes on election day! Next time around we implore you, vote your conscience vote for the party that truly represents your beliefs and VOTE GREEN, if all our supporters go to the poles next time out and VOTE GREEN we will double our vote and win many ridings, not just one or two.

Choose hope, Vote Green!

Green Communities

Ron F — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:13:31 +0000

The Green Party of Canada is committed to nurturing families and communities through integrated policies that focus on the welfare of the child, starting with prenatal nutrition all the way to affordable housing and accessible post secondary education.

We believe we must stop designing our communities around the car and start designing them around families and children. There are no easy solutions. We have to address the multi-layered problems facing families through new, innovative fiscal, labour and social policies.

We support:

a real national childcare plan
income-splitting for families
a Charter right to clean air and water
support for family farms
flex hours for working parents

Real Democracy

Ron F — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:06:48 +0000

When our government is at its best, it represents all of us and brings us together to accomplish things we cannot accomplish alone. Our parliament should be a model of statesmanship and cooperation, working for the good of all Canadians. It should deal creatively and constructively with issues and spend taxpayers’ money prudently. MPs should be elected through a fair voting system that ensures parties get a share of seats in Parliament that is equal to their share of popular vote. Canadians should be proud of their government and trust that it is acting in their best interests.

We support:

make every vote count
restore power to your local MP
bring transparency to government
connect policy with Canadian values — not with lobbyists’ interests

The Debate on Debates: Canadians want Greens in!

Ron F — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:40:29 +0000

Posted September 21st, 2009

From www.greenparty.ca

OTTAWA– A new poll conducted by Angus Reid Strategies shows that 73% of Canadians are in favour of including Elizabeth May in the debates, with support strongest in British Columbia.

The Green Party of Canada is still waiting for an answer from Canada’s broadcast consortium as to whether Leader Elizabeth May will be invited to the next round of federal election debates. The Greens sent a formal letter to the broadcast consortium asking for confirmation that May will be allowed into the debates, but no answer has been forthcoming. More…

BUILDING THE GREEN ECONOMY

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:52:41 +0000

Canada has an opportunity to shift from an economic model based on the unsustainable exploitation of our resources to a sustainable and resilient economic model based on conservation and renewable resources, a model that advances the common good and ensures quality of life for all Canadians. Canada can meet this challenge by investing in innovative solutions that are part of a comprehensive vision for our country – a vision rooted in Canadian values. Responsible budgeting, forward-looking investing, and a concern for those who are least fortunate among us are the principles that guide our economic planning.

We support:

no more grey-industry bail-outs
income-splitting for families
lower payroll and income taxes
higher taxes on polluting industries
turn blue collar work into green collar jobs

Health Care

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:37:13 +0000

Tomorrow, we will fix Canada’s health care system by investing more in hospitals, creating a national pharmacare program and expanding support for alternative care. Most importantly the Green Party will eliminate the toxic chemicals and air pollution that are making Canadians sick. The Health Care issue is as much about increasing current capacity as it is about preventative therapies and alternate therapies.

The Green Party of Canada is the only party that will cohesively combine current strategies with long term ones to chart a course back towards the Health Care we all deserve.
