Canada Day is an opportunity to celebrate what make our country great – vibrant communities, rich natural heritage, and so much more.
It’s also a time for reflection, education and action. A time to reckon with the harms of the past and repair the wrongs of the present.
Will you join us in writing to Premier Ford and environmental minister Dave Piccini demanding they adopt a credible conservation strategy that foregrounds Indigenous leadership?
Ontario Greens believe in working with Indigenous communities to establish Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas – where Indigenous governments take the lead in protecting and conserving ecosystems through their laws, governance and knowledge systems.
The Premier is once again ignoring advice from his own hand-picked panel of conservation experts on the need for an Indigenous-led conservation and land protection strategy in Ontario.

As Pride comes to an end the challenges confronting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are impossible to deny.
We can't forget that Pride is rooted in resistance – resistance to anti-2SLGBTQ+ violence, to racism, and to so many systemic injustices that we are still grappling with today.
Warm wishes to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha.
The central tenants of Eid al-Adha are values we can all strive toward – generosity, peace, and compassion.
May we all keep making sacrifices to show compassion, peace and charity to those around us.

We're experiencing massive forest fires, unprecedented droughts, and the "doomsday glacier" is melting.
Ford is clearly missing the signals. That's why we're sending him a climate report. We hope you'll add your voice.
While the effects of climate change are being felt around the globe, Doug Ford continues to ignore renewable energy in favour of fossil fuels and sprawl.

Sending strength to everyone feeling the effects of the wildfire smoke today.
Hoping this will pass quickly so kids will be able to finish the school year and enjoy the summer break.

No one should have to pay for gender affirming care -- the government's refusal to fund it is devastating for the trans community.
Gender-affirming care is healthcare. We shouldn't be forcing clinics providing this care to privatize because of underfunding.

Ontario Greens would like to extend warm wishes to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha today.
I want to wish everyone celebrating a joyful celebration.
Eid Mubarak!
Ontario Greens are proud to field two great candidates in July 27 by-elections – @stevenwarrengpo in Kanata-Carleton and @mcmahon_tara in Scarborough-Guildwood. Steven and Tara are true champions for their communities and for a more caring, connected and climate-ready Ontario.
Ontarians still have so many unanswered questions about how a few speculators knew when and where to buy parcels of land on the Greenbelt.
If it was all above board as the government says, then why the continued efforts to hide information that would clear the air?

Food bank use is at an all-time high as high food costs and inflation strain household budgets.
Join @MikeSchreiner tomorrow for a discussion with Pauline Cripps, administrator of the @guelphfoodbank, about the challenges people are facing and the factors causing the crisis.
