“We are in a time of transformational change and the Green Party is needed for its values, bottom-up structure, and priority to address climate justice. Please vote for me so I can have the mandate to keep the Fund and Federal Council as transparent to the membership as is legally and ethically responsible, and continue to build capacity for all ridings.”
