The Green Party of Canada is energized and united behind our leader Elizabeth May. She received an unheard of level of approval from Green Party members who endorsed her leadership to the tune of 85%.

The peak of the convention for me was Elizabeth’s speech Saturday morning. When she finished, had someone handed me a clipboard and a voter list I would still be out canvassing. It seemed as if every few sentences the crowd erupted in a applause and often standing ovations.

If there is indeed a fall election then that was exactly the type of speech Greens needed to hear. It certainly got everyone at my table fired up!

Elizabeth is one our party’s top assets and as members we need to ask ourselves what we can do to ensure that after the next election she is sitting in the House of Commons.
