🌳 Colombia has become the first country to declare its entire Amazon region off limits to large-scale mining and hydrocarbons.

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.

That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.

It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.

It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.

Billionaire greed is out of control.

Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner sat down with Steve Paikin on The Agenda during the 2025 Ontario Election and talked about why Ontario needs proportional representation.

It’s time to put voters first and build a stronger democracy for everyone.

This is an important time to address food security and sustainability issues, as food bank use reaches all-time highs in Ontario and climate-fuelled unsafe weather negatively affects crop yields, contributing to food price increases around the world.

#ThrowbackThursday
This question from Elizabeth May in 2022 feels more urgent than ever. Democracy depends on our shared commitment to truth, nonpartisanship, and collaboration. We must remain dedicated to protecting those values.

If you care about housing, education, the environment, or the economy β€” demand proportional representation.

Why? Because every decision on these is shaped by who we elect and how we elect them.

That's why a better, more representative democracy is essential to our future.

Today, a war criminal under indictment from the ICC will be welcomed to the White House.

Trump, like Biden before him, has aided and abetted the extremist Netanyahu government as it has systematically killed and starved civilians in Gaza.

It is a shameful day in America.

I’m disgusted by this violent attack against a Muslim woman in Oshawa, where she was brutally assaulted and her hijab was torn off.

We absolutely cannot tolerate hate and Islamophobia in our communities.

Happy Canada Day! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Today we celebrate democracy, but let’s also reflect on how we can make it stronger.

Most Canadians still don’t see their vote reflected in Parliament. It’s time for proportional representation so every vote counts and every election matters.

Ford's apology today is a first step but to truly repair the damage the Premier must repeal Bill 5 and respect First Nations’ right to free, informed and prior consent.

Ford needs to go back to the drawing board.

During Indigenous History Month we honour the legacy and resilience of First Nations across Canada.

We must also call out Canada’s colonial past and present, including the current actions of the Ford government.
