Canada has its first Green MP!

Greetings to all our supporters!

We have an amazing announcement!

Greens have changed the political landscape in Canada forever…

Canada now has its first Green MP! On the morning of Saturday Aug. 30, Blair Wilson, an Independent Member of Parliament, sat beside Party Leader Elizabeth May and announced that he is joining the Green Party. Blair is the sitting MP in West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country (yes – that is the name of the riding!).

To quote Ms. May:

"Today we make history. I am grateful for Mr. Wilson's principled belief that the Green Party deserves a voice in Parliament and for his firm commitment to democracy. With a Green MP sitting in the House of Commons, it will now be impossible to exclude the Green Party from the televised leaders' debates in the next election.”

Join Mike Nagy, Elizabeth May and all of us in welcoming Blair Wilson to the Green Party. Mr. Wilson and Elizabeth May will meet Mike Nagy for a rally in Guelph tomorrow at 4:30! Come out and support our new Member of Parliament!!!

Guelph Campus Greens welcome you to Guelph for your Fall 08 Semester!

You are coming into town at a very exciting time; the city of Guelph has the opportunity to elect Canada's FIRST Green MP, Mike Nagy.

Green Party and Students

What does Mike think about students?
Tuition fees should never, ever be a barrier to education
Tuition fees should not be a debt sentence
Students from universities and colleges should have a healthy, sustainable future to look forward to
Students should be heard and not ignored in Ottawa
Universities and colleges are critical hubs of green innovation and creativity
Mike wants students to vote

What will Mike do for students?
Forgive 50% of a student’s loan when they complete their degree
Enable universities to increase spaces for student enrollment in exchange for tuition fee reductions
Restore and expand the federal government’s student summer job program
Increase research grants to support development of new green technologies
Create a fund for excellence in post secondary teaching in which funding is increased as the student to professor ratio decreases.

‘Education is the key to equity of opportunity, personal growth and enrichment, informed democratic debate and decision making, social mobility and the research and development that is essential to deal with climate change and a multitude of other challenges.’

Vote for MIKE NAGY and make history in Canada!!!

A by-election has been called for electing a new Member of Parliament in Guelph on September 8, 2008. This is the election that will witness that Guelph is Going Green.

WHAT IS IT WORTH for the Green Party to win in the upcoming by-elections?

In the 1988 federal election the Reform Party won 275,000 votes and no seats – and then in the subsequent 1993 general election, the party won 2.5 million votes and 52 seats, missing becoming the official opposition by just two seats. How could the party jump from no seats to 52 seats? And win almost 10 times more votes? One simple thing.

In between the elections the Reform Party won a single seat in a by-election. Deb Grey became the lone voice in Parliament arguing for the party's position. Then in the subsequent election Reform leader Preston Manning was included in the debates – millions of Canadians heard the Reform message and the party won almost 10 times more votes. We are on the precipice of that same shift. Simply winning a seat will guarantee that Elizabeth May will be included in the televised leaders' debates. The by-election presents a very real opportunity to win that first seat.

Make history this September and elect Mike Nagy as Canada's first GREEN MP!

Green is the Future - it is YOUR movement.
