Green Party of Canada🟢 on Bluesky

The Green Party of Canada is calling on progressive Canadian parties to set aside partisan differences and unite in addressing the issues that matter most to Canadians. We're ready to discuss building a more democratic future, let's make it happen. #CommonGround

[Elizabeth May] Hey it's Elizabeth May. Co-leader of the Green Party of Canada. Here with Jonathan Pedneault, co-leader of the Green Party of Canada.

We've just come from a press conference where we have made a public challenge to the other leaders of the parties that call themselves progressives.

If you want to cooperate before the next election, we're ready. We wanna sit down and talk about it.

We need to give Canadians a parliament that speaks to your values and your concerns.

[Jonathan Pedneault] The answer to what's happening in the US is not less democracy, it's more democracy.

We've been asking for electoral reform for so many years. Trudeau let us down, but quite frankly, this election we need to collaborate strong progressive voices, and more democracy in Ottawa would do us wonders.
