Ten Years! (May 2, 2021)
Good Sunday Morning!
Happy May Day +1
And for me a day of memories of our big win ten years ago today. I was sorting through photos of election night. My favourite is from the celebration I couldn’t join – from the front page of the Driftwood with the joyful faces of our Salt Spring Island team at Moby’s. It is such a gorgeous photo.

Climate Leaders’ Summit (April 25, 2021)
Good Sunday Morning!
And heading into the last week of April 2021, our first month lived twice in COVID. Sadly, not our last. I am looking forward to getting my vaccination on Thursday. Thankfully (and genuinely thankful for prayers) my family members with COVID are on the mend. I look at poor India and wonder at the enormity of exponential growth and how we could have managed the pandemic so much better. Continue reading Climate Leaders’ Summit (April 25, 2021)

Earth Day (April 18, 2021)
The race between vaccines and variants is much on my mind. Family members have COVID and a dear friend died of COVID this week (in Nova Scotia). Some readers will know her or know of her – Clotilda Yakimchuk. She was an incredible human being. Continue reading Earth Day (April 18, 2021)
Greens on COVID (April 11, 2021)
Today marks the end of Holocaust Remembrance Week (April 4-11, 2021). In Ottawa, every year after my election in 2011, I attended the very moving National Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony with dozens of other MPs, Supreme Court Justices, ambassadors and Holocaust survivors and their families. That is every year until last when the April 21, 2020 service was canceled due to COVID. Leaders from every party, including Greens, would speak and join Holocaust survivors in lighting a candle.

TMX (March 28, 2021)
Good Sunday Morning
Happy Passover! Chag Pesach Sameach!
And Happy Palm Sunday! As RuPaul might say “Can I get a Hosanna up in here?”
Yesterday, on the first day of Passover, Annamie Paul posted a lovely sentiment. “This year’s Passover serves as a reminder that the world has overcome plagues before and will again. In a time of COVID19, it is a very comforting thought.” Continue reading TMX (March 28, 2021)
