A vote for me as your MPP says YES; I am ready, right now, to do everything I can to clean up this planet.

A vote for me, a Green Party candidate, on October the 10th means that you are saying YES to connecting with thousands of people who are choosing to join the Green Party, every day, all over the world.

Why?
We care very deeply about our children, and their families, and about what kind of world we are leaving for the generations that come after that. We in the Green Party are working, every day, in every way, designing a better way of governing ourselves, all over the world: through international cooperation, through capitalizing on innovative thinking in every field of endeavour, and through the sharing of successful policies and programs used worldwide to clean up our beautiful Blue Planet.

Scientific evidence has proven, beyond a doubt, that you and I are responsible for the mess we are in. NOW is the time to act decisively.

Thirteen of Ontario's leading environmental groups have released their independent evaluation of each party's platform - and the Green Party was miles ahead of the old line parties.

The Green Party is the ONLY party that is READY to help you and I guarantee a future for our children.

Can you say 'no' to the children?
I can't do that.
I know it means the WORLD to them.
