St. Theresa Point Nation in Manitoba is facing a crisis with its water and sewage infrastructure. The response from our government last week was to send them slop buckets." We need a real plan for First Nations! http://bit.ly/dHZY6jApr 26, 2011 7:45 pm | Ontario, Sudbury
- greJust saw this article on how Saskatchewan is planning to invest $1.2B into carbon capture at one of it's coal plants.

- greHarper is trying hard to convince us that what we need is a Conservative majority. But what will that lead to? Sure he will get more done but will it be good for the country? The conservatives should be promoting the qualities of their policies to earn a majority unless they do not think that they are worthy of one. Harper tries to control everything now, so who would he listen to with a majority?Apr 24, 2011 7:39 pm | Ontario, Sudbury

- greA Canadian military report raises many of the concerns regarding our security situation as climate change progresses that the Green Party has long been talking about.

- greThe Federation of Canadian Municipalities told us that commuter gridlock has already cost our country $292 million and 2.7 million working days just since the start of this election. That is why investing in public transit makes economic sense! It is also a crucial element in reducing our dependence on increasingly expensive oil. http://greenparty.ca/media-release/2011-04-19/greens-want-get-cities-moving-againApr 20, 2011 8:58 pm | Ontario, Sudbury
- greOne of the best stories of this election could be how young voters became engaged and made their voices be heard. I love this video by the Young Greens to get out the vote! No matter who you intend to support make sure you vote starting this Friday in the advance polls or on election day, May 2nd. http://bit.ly/gup26DApr 19, 2011 6:04 pm | Ontario, Sudbury

- greThis press release from the Green Party today ties in nicely with my post from a few days ago. It reiterates our support for locally grown food for our Canadian farmer. http://greenparty.ca/media-release/2011-04-18/green-party-calls-democracy-food-policyApr 18, 2011 8:01 pm | Ontario, Sudbury
- greThis article really illustrates why we need the voice of the Green Party in Canada. The World Bank president says that we are one shock away from a crisis due to rising food prices. They are rising of course because of the high price of oil. Our party is the only one with a real plan: support local farming and reduce our dependence on oil! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13108166Apr 17, 2011 4:43 pm | Ontario, Sudbury

- greSeeing almost record breaking fuel prices today really brings home two points: 1. The only real longterm solution is to wean ourselves off of oil. We need to invest in the development of alternatives! 2. Oil companies are pulling in record profits AND they are being subsidized by you the Canadian tax payer! There's something wrong with this picture!Apr 15, 2011 7:56 pm | Ontario, Sudbury

- greFrom my twitter feed: http://twitter.com/#!/fredtwilley. Gas is $1.30 here. Food prices rising, and CO2 emissions too. Our economy relies on cheap oil or it tanks. None of that debated tonight! #pmharper is right on this: We DO need to keep focus on economy. Only what we need is a shift to security through sustainability.Apr 12, 2011 8:38 pm | Ontario, Sudbury
