Working with the members of our Shadow Cabinet, we compiled and explained the policies approved by Green Party policy conventions over the years. Our goal was to make it easier for the public and members alike to find out where the Greens stood on major public issues. I remember when Adriane came up with the assertive preamble for each set of action items: “Green Party MPs will.” At that moment it was a leap of faith to know that Canada’s Parliament would have Green Party MPs. And to know what those Green MPs would fight for. On May 2, 2011, I had the enormous honour of being entrusted by the voters of Saanich-Gulf Islands to represent them in the House of Commons. They also made a leap of faith in casting their ballots to elect Canada’s first Green MP. Since that day, I have worked tirelessly, primarily in the interests of my constituents, and less so as the leader of the Green Party. I believe that is how it should be. In spring 2013, Greens in British Columbia made history again, with the election of that province’s first Green Party MLA, respected climate scientist Dr. Andrew Weaver. In December 2013, our federal caucus doubled with the decision by Independent MP, Bruce Hyer (Thunder Bay-Superior North) to join me in Parliament and become Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Canada. And in September 2014, the leader of the Green Party of New Brunswick, David Coon, outdid us all, being elected but also forming the third party in the New Brunswick legislature, with official party status. In May 2015, David Coon’s success was matched by Prince Edward Island Green leader Peter Bevan Baker who became the only non-Liberal or Conservative MLA in Prince Edward Island – also achieving recognized party status. 2017 saw us go from four elected Greens, each sitting as lonely leaders in our respective parliaments, to seven elected Greens! In May, Adam Olsen and Sonia Furstenau joined Andrew Weaver in becoming Canada’s first elected Green caucus, later going on to hold the balance of power in the B.C. government. A year later, Mike Schreiner from Guelph, Ontario became the first MPP to represent a fourth party in Queen’s Park since 1961. In April 2019, P.E.I. elected the first ever Green official opposition in North America, jumping from two seats to eight (of 27), with a ninth added in July through a by-election. Mere weeks later, Paul Manly joined Elizabeth in Parliament, forming the first federal Green caucus in Canada’s history. And in October 2019, we elected three Green MPs as Jenica Atwin from Fredericton joined us. Now that we have Green MPs, we can add more to our list of commitments. Green MPs will: ● Set the standard for transparency and accountability (we were the first to scan all original receipts and post all expenses on our websites); ● Conduct ourselves respectfully in the House of Commons, through our commitment to never heckle; 6 ● Practice ‘high road’ politics, never using ad hominem attacks, but sticking to issues in debate; ● Work hard, placing the interests of our constituents and of Canada above those of our party; ● Be the only party with a policy of no whipped votes; and ● Strive to find common ground with other parties, working across party lines in the public interest. Vision Green, our hopes for re-building the Canada we want, is more real with every passing day. Please join us. Elizabeth May, O.C. Parliamentary Leader, Green Party of Canada 7 Introduction Since 2007, the Green Party of Canada has presented a comprehensive statement of our policies and programs. In every election, we distill our top priorities in an election platform which is thoroughly costed and accompanied by a budget. Vision Green is not an election platform. It is both too lengthy and detailed for an election statement of priorities. What it does is give any interested Canadian a more complete understanding of the full range of public policies Green Members of Parliament will work to implement. Periodically, we update and expand Vision Green to ensure we are ready to put forward a positive vision, grounded in current realities. Vision Green presents a well-researched analysis of critical economic, environmental, and social challenges facing Canadians from coast to coast to coast. In this document, we present practical solutions that can be achieved if there is the political will and leadership to take forward-looking action. It was developed by our Green Cabinet and was informed by experts, activists and citizens who participated in policy workshops held across Canada. Our vision is based on policies approved by the membership of the Green Party. Our solutions are realistic because they follow ‘best practices’ already in place in parts of Canada and around the world. These practices are cost-effective, deliver results, and benefit people, the economy, and the environment. The Green Party’s down-to-earth solutions will work in Canada because they have worked around the world.

  • “Green Policies Are About Our Entire Way of Life”
    “Green Policies Are about Our Entire Way of Life” Article by Inés Sabanés August 31, 2021 The Covid-19 pandemic is the latest in a string of crises Spain has faced in recent years, which have left the country weakened and many worried about its future. With elections on the horizon, Member of the Spanish Parliament Inés Sabanés explains how an all-encompassing Green vision can transform every aspect of society, and why Europe has the potential to help Spain overcome many of its difficulties. Green European Journal: From the perspective of the Greens (Verdes Equo), what are the key political issues facing Spain in 2021? Inés Sabanés: The pandemic has reset political priorities at both the Spanish and European levels. Three fundamental issues stick out; they were important during the 2021 Madrid elections and are present throughout our daily political life. First is the economic and social recovery: in response to the crisis caused by the pandemic but also in connection to the climate emergency. The distribution of projects arising from European funds needs to bring us out of this crisis through a fundamental structural change to the way our country works. Spain today is too susceptible to crises – our economy is overdependent on tourism for example – and needs to build its future on a more solid, productive, and better developed economic model. The second major issue is the rise of the far right. Frequent elections have been a fundamental error and a lack of consensus between parties in government has led to a rise in the number of far-right members of parliament.

The Federal Government is moving forward over the next two years with a $100 million plus, 'Complementary Measures Project' (now called 'World Class') to research and model the complex waterways in the Kitimat and Hecate Straights region. In essence this is a federal government subsidy to the Northern Gateway Project, as they are unable to satisfy basic safety, environmental and regulatory requirements. In fact documents from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans identified that: “Behaviour models specific to dilbit spills do not exist, and existing commercial models for conventional oil do not allow parameter specific modifications.” On the federal level contrary to what Stephen Harper has said about awaiting the evidence and panel results, the Government of Canada has been pushing ahead with spending over $100 million to support what should be industry based research.

  • Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.
