Big congrats to Elizabeth May on her re-election in Saanich—Gulf Islands! We’re heartbroken Mike Morrice won’t return to Parliament. His integrity and drive for justice will be missed. Endless thanks to Jonathan, Paul & all our candidates who inspired across Canada.

Below her image is large white text that reads, “Congratulations!” followed by smaller white text in all caps that reads, “to Green Party Leader.” Large white text reading “Elizabeth May” appears inside a green bar that matches the width of the semicircle above.

This decision doesn’t just undermine science, it sidelines the people working to confront the climate crisis with facts, evidence, and global collaboration. We refuse to accept a future where fossil fuels come before the truth.

Cutting $680,000 in support makes the government’s priorities clear: fossil fuels over facts.
