Job Creation, Balanced Budgets
and a Smart Economy…
…are hallmarks of the Green Party but Strong Communities and True Democracy are equally important to us.
In 2011, Canadians elected the first Green Party MP in the country’s history, ushering in a new era of prominence and influence for the party. In the short time Elizabeth May has been in Ottawa, she has demonstrated the extraordinary effectiveness and broad policy interests of the Green Party of Canada. She singlehandedly attached more than 300 amendments to the Harper government’s omnibus budget bill, bringing its many flaws to national media attention and forcing a 22-hour voting marathon that earned her a standing ovation from the other opposition parties in Parliament. No wonder Walrus Magazine called Elizabeth “the country’s hardest-working politician.”
We are not a one-issue party.
The Green Party is the only party in Canada with a full and comprehensive vision for our future available every day. We do not wait until elections to unveil what we believe in. Vision Green is on our website, available 365 days a year, every year.
The Green Party is the only opposition party to have tabled our deficit cutting plan with the Parliamentary Budget Office, to ensure we did our homework and our numbers will hold.
We are more than you think. Read our platform and find that voice for sensible, smart politics that you have been longing to hear. If you are tired of simply voting against things, if you want something you can vote for, read this platform.
In this platform you will find a vision for a modern, smart economy that reduces the deficit, creates new jobs that won’t be gone tomorrow, and doesn’t rely on generating pollution to generate energy. We see a future Canada with vibrant, well-educated and motivated citizens, living in healthy communities, eating safe and healthy food, and enjoying a life-giving, healthy natural world.
