GO CANADA GO!

“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. Canadians should be proud of their government and trust that it is acting in their best interests.”
from Vision Green
We will never put the pursuit of power ahead of principle.

The Oshawa Federal Green Party Association would like to extend our thoughts and best wishes to NDP Leader Jack Layton and his family. Jack Layton announced today that he is fighting a battle with prostate cancer but will remain on as leader of the NDP. We wish him and his family all the best for a quick recovery.

The Green Party of Canada wishes Jack Layton a full and speedy recovery from prostate cancer.  “Jack has immense strength and I am sure he will emerge from this latest battle with his usual fighting spirit,” said Green Leader Elizabeth May. “I wish him and his family the very best. My thoughts and prayers are with Jack and Olivia and their family.”

OTTAWA — Black History Month is an important opportunity to celebrate the enormous contributions that Black Canadians have made to Canadian society.  ”This month, all Canadians can take some time to learn about the history of Black people in our country and how their presence and achievements have influenced our culture,” said Green Leader Elizabeth May. 

February has been officially designated Black History Month in Canada since 1995, growing out of a long history of unofficial celebrations of the contributions of Black Canadians.

“We can reflect on Black history in Canada and realize some of the immense changes that have happened over the span of a few generations,” said May. “Then we can look forward to a future of even greater equality and cooperation.  Black history should give us all hope that with courage and perseverance, dreams can be achieved.”

The Green Party of Canada encourages everyone to discover what local events may be happening in your community and to take part in Black History Month.

“We know that toxic waste and environmental blights like dump sites are disproportionately located across North America near communities of people of colour and this deserves more attention.  Our Green and social justice agendas have been advanced by Black leaders like Rocky Jones and Clotilda Yakimchuk in Nova Scotia,” said Ms. May.
