- With climate change a top concern heading into next month’s Canadian election and mainstream candidates offering little inspiration, Green Party leader Elizabeth May could be poised for a breakthrough.
The Greens are sitting at around 11% public support, more than triple the 3.4% the party received in the 2015 election when May, an effervescent 65-year-old, was the only legislator to win a seat. Public opinion surveys suggest her party might win up to 10 seats in the House of Commons. “People are experiencing the climate emergency not as an environmental issue, but as an immediate security threat. And that changes attitudes,” said May, who represents a constituency in the Pacific province of British Columbia.
The Greens are nipping at the heels of their closest rivals, the left-wing New Democrats, who are struggling under new leader Jagmeet Singh. Trudeau and Scheer are running neck-in-neck nationally, but Liberals have an edge in a greater number of Canada’s 338 individual parliamentary ridings. She wants a ban on future crude oil pipelines and to block the planned expansion of the Trans Mountain Line from Alberta to British Columbia, which the Trudeau government bought for C$4.5 billion last year.
This is just another FakeNews trying to suppress Conservative votes in Canada. 5 main concerns for Canadians are: illegal immigration, high taxes, energy sector (build the pipelines!), organized crime, government corruption. ClimateChangeHoax
So polite of Canadians to hiss via sign.
A brand new 'corporations party'...😎
No it won’t. The Green Party is in bed with the conservatives, May has openly stated she is willing to support the reversal of abortion laws, limiting women’s access to necessary health care.
Noop!
That would suck for Canada. The green forces are really important and to be heard, but not suitable for government administration, IMHO.

Girl power goes green: Teens strike for action on climate changeWith upward of 2 million supporters, Fridays for Future has eclipsed the solitary climate change protests started by Swede Greta Thunberg in August 2018. Now if they every start talking about China, I'll actually belie they give a shit about the climate. Nbc is dumb. Greta is one of us, a good one, the movement grows. Science compels character, character compels action. Strike? Isn't that were people refuse to work until their work demands are addressed? These people are refusing to be educated until the world changes? I would be upset if I was paying the bill for their college

Poll: More Americans believe climate change is a crisisDavid Wallace-Wells' new book gives several convincing arguments for drastic action to prevent further global warming, but here's the one that affects your dinner: More CO2 means less-productive crops and less-nutritious food. realDonaldTrump So oxygen critical if temp rises 2C across the planet. And what does Trump do but roll back 85 environmental and clean air sanctions. I don't know how Trump can look at himself in the mirror without urping it up. You dopes sound more and more like foxnews every day. The fact that most Americans believe the BS is the really sad commentary. Plants thrive on higher CO2 levels and wasting trillions of dollars to fight solar cycles is just more sand down a rat hole. Look it up fools the Chief of the World Meteorological society just called it BS.
