It's Worth Defending

-
Larry --

Our coastlines, our drinking water, our national parks -- we love these things, and defending them is no easy task, especially in the era of the Harper Conservatives.

The current government has been giving away our natural resources to foreign multinational corporations at an alarming rate, and has pushed for the reckless and unsustainable expansion of the oilsands and other high-polluting industries.

But I have good news for you.



An election is right around the corner, and that means we can replace Conservative MPs with Green MPs.

That is exactly what we will do -- but we need your help.

All across the country we have principled, respected, and well-known candidates going head-to-head with Conservative incumbents.

By donating $5 today you will ensure Green candidates have the resources they need to win (it only costs $1.25 after the tax credit).

11:59pm Tuesday, June 30 -- this is our most important fundraising deadline to date.

Chip in $5 before the deadline to help us elect Green MPs in 2015.

I'm In

Thanks,

Dave

Dave Bagler
President
Green Party of Canada

IS IT REALLY NECESSARY? Does the government (s) have to literally destroy every single resource that our earth has to offer and share. Do they not have “any"concerns of what they are planning and doing during “their" time on Earth, ravaging it’s sources to the fullest, and leaving absolute devastation.

This should be a flourishing Earth that can nurture future generations and all creation.
This constant greed will leave a shameful footprint that mankind will be unable to erase.

An elder raised his eyes to the heavens and uttered these solemn words…."Lord, you promised you would not destroy the earth again,as you did so long ago, Why is this happening"? And a voice answered from above…"and I will keep my promise, The Conservative Harper government in Canada is doing it for me."

Are hungry kids a priority for the Harper government? by Larry Powell The forum (for the riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa) was sponsored by the Mission and Services Committee of the Neepawa United Church. It drew about 80 people to the church on Wednesday. But only four of the five candidates (see below) took part in the debate -  Ray  Piché  (Liberal),   Kate Storey (Green Party),  Inky Mark (Ind.) and  Laverne Lewycky (NDP) . The 5th candidate, the sitting Conservative MP for the area, Robert Sopuck (represented by the empty chair on the right), did not attend. His office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, said he was in Inglis, a small community in the western part of the riding for the evening. She did not elaborate. But she did explain that a campaign worker was mistaken when he told forum organizers earlier that Mr. Sopuck would, in fact be there. Piché , the Liberal candidate, said the MP's absence showed “disrespect” for the rest of the candidates

A Candidate's Forum on Child Poverty Touches a Nerve in Manitoba.

by Larry Powell Planet In Peril has sorted through some of the confusion surrounding the absence of Robert Sopuck (above), the Conservative Member of Parliament for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa,  from a candidates' forum on child poverty in Neepawa on Wednesday.  About a month ago, his office told forum organizers that he would be attending.  But his office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, later announced he could not attend due to "scheduling conflicts." She said the night of the event, he was in Inglis, a small town in the western part of his riding.  This morning, however, Sopuck himself told PinP he had actually been in Roblin, a larger town just north of Inglis. A newspaper ad indicated it was a "meet and greet" affair. But that was in the morning in Roblin, a town within a 3-hour drive of Neepawa. So it's still not clear what the event in Inglis was which took priority over a candidate's forum. The MP bristled at my suggestion th
