Thank you, Jonathan Pedneault, for your bold vision, principled leadership, and unwavering commitment to justice. Your vision will guide us as we continue the work you helped shape

Merci Jonathan Pedneault pour ta vision audacieuse, ton leadership de principes et ton engagement inébranlable en faveur de la justice. Ta vision continuera de nous inspirer alors que nous poursuivons le travail que tu as contribué à façonner.

The image depicts a scenic view of Saanich, BC, with a dark green overlay. In the centre of the image is a photo of Elizabeth May inside a light green semicircle. Below her image is large white text that reads, “Congratulations!” followed by smaller white text in all caps that reads, “to Green Party Leader.” Large white text reading “Elizabeth May” appears inside a green bar that matches the width of the semicircle above. Below this is smaller white text in all caps that reads, “on being re-elected in Saanich–Gulf Islands!”

Big congrats to Elizabeth May on her re-election in Saanich—Gulf Islands! We’re heartbroken Mike Morrice won’t return to Parliament. His integrity and drive for justice will be missed. Endless thanks to Jonathan, Paul & all our candidates who inspired across Canada.

By doing an analysis of the various sort of mini-bioregions/eco-areas within Portage-Lisgar, it would provide jobs for young people and help people transition out of more destructive jobs." ~Janine Gibson, Portage-Lisgar Green Party Candidate

"We need to understand that the riparian areas enrich the whole bioregion. Paying landowners to maintain their wetlands and riparian areas would actually save a lot of money."

#ThinkGreenVoteJanine #Elxn45 #CanadaVotes2025 #Vote

1/3
"Flooding is an issue. I would look to ensure that taxes are changed so that anyone who is retaining water, holding water, maintaining the wetlands and riparian areas are given tax bonuses. They would not be taxed on their wetlands because that's what's encouraged a lot of drainage in the area."
