Kanata, We Deserve Nice Things

It all begins with an idea. The idea that we deserve nice things, things that we are being told we can no longer have, such as a functional healthcare system, such as housing, such as comfortable living, such as a sustainable future. We deserve a sustainable future and an affordable today. We deserve to live in safety and security, without threats from our neighbour to the south. We deserve to have a government that spends money lifting people up, not enriching the ultra-rich and wealthy large corporations. We deserve a government that takes climate change seriously. We deserve to have a government that protects us by following international law and protecting the most vulnerable here, and abroad. We deserve a government that supports those under attack, whether it is in Ukraine or in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

I have a vision of what is possible for us in Kanata, and in the rest of Canada. We can thrive in the face of our current challenges, if we stick together and ensure we no longer leave anyone behind. We can grow our economy by focusing on sustainable energy, saving us all money in the short and long term.

The Green Party platform is available and partially costed! Have a look at the issues that matter most to you, and prepare to have your mind blown. Note that whichever party is elected, if they don’t do what is clearly possible and address climate change, address housing crisis, address affordability crisis, address the economic challenges, protect our sovereignty in part by addressing defence resource challenges, and more, that what they do and more importantly what they don’t do represents policy choices. Just as it has been so will it continue to be policy choices not to look after ALL Canadians, even when we need it the most.
