Pauline Thompson
Pauline Thompson was the candidate for Scarborough Agincourt in the 2011 federal and provincial elections. She has a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science. Professionally, Pauline comes from a marketing background having worked for IBM, Alias Research Inc., Topix Computer Graphics and Stash Media Inc. Her work experience taught Pauline how to use money wisely with limited budgets and tight deadlines. She enjoys finding and creating solutions to problems and inefficiencies.
Pauline has been actively involved in her community. She is currently on the executive council of her local high school PTA and has served on many executive school councils as an active member and Chair. She has also been the Communications Chair for her riding’s Green Party CA and EDA. Pauline has done much fundraising for WWF Canada, Greenpeace Canada, Environmental Defense and Autism Canada.
As a mother of three boys, Pauline’s greatest concern is the future that awaits her boys and all children, if Ontario continues business as usual. Old party thinking has created the mess we’re in. Climate change and human impact on our biosphere are depleting our economic and natural wealth. Our children will inherit a huge capital and environmental deficit if things don’t change politically. It is more important than ever to strengthen the Green Party’s alternative policies to current practices and to ensure the public hears about them.
As the Government Services Critic, Pauline hopes to generate more innovative, influential and economically sustainable policies as they relate to the administration of government. Pauline is excited to be involved in the nuts and bolts of policy making for the Green Party. At the end of the day, strong policies will ensure a sustainable future for our children. For Pauline, that’s what matters most.
