Ontario Greens are fighting for a fairer Ontario.

Our 2025 platform will make that a reality.

A vote for Greens is a vote for affordable homes, better healthcare and real support for Ontario's food and farming sector.

You can read the whole platform at: gpo.ca/platform/

Make proportional representation a priority in the Ontario election! Ontario’s first-past-the-post system hands all the power to one party with just 40% of the vote. The majority of voters are left without representation, shut out of decisions that affect their lives. ...

Sign our petition now telling Ontario leaders to make proportional representation a priority: secure.fairvote.ca/en/proportio...

Doug Ford thinks people on ODSP are just β€œsitting on the couch watching Flintstones.”

Maybe if Ontario had proportional representation, politicians wouldn’t get away with ignoring vulnerable people while pandering to a minority of voters.

A letter to the editor published in The Globe and Mail from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada. The letter critiques Justin Trudeau's broken 2015 promise to end first-past-the-post (FPTP) voting and highlights the findings of the 2016 all-party parliamentary committee, which recommended proportional representation. May states that Canadians overwhelmingly called for fair voting, and previous studies, including one from 1921, found that FPTP does not work in Canada's multiparty democracy. She concludes that FPTP benefits big parties while promoting divisive politics.

Trudeau promised electoral reform. Canadians demanded it. A parliamentary committee recommended it.

Yet, here we are.

Elizabeth May's response to the Globe and Mail reminds us why we still need proportional representation.

Unite for the Canada we want Donald Trump’s threats to Canadian jobs and communities demand a united response. Let’s reject corporate greed, strengthen our economy with sustainable industries, and defend democracy for a future…

Trump's threats to punish our jobs and our communities are designed to turn people against each other and extract concessions that nobody wants. The only way to deal with a bully is to unite and face him with the power of true solidarity.
