Elizabeth May is the leader of the Green Party of Canada with Jonathan Pedneault, and member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands. The activist, author and mother was an intervenor in the National Energy Board’s Kinder Morgan hearings.
The green side of former prime minister Brian Mulroney
He would have deserved to be honoured as the "Greenest PM" for only half of what was accomplished.
Canada-EU trade agreement may be good for business, but it’s bad for democracy
Upon closer inspection, the treaty Canada negotiated with the European Union from 2009 to 2014 is completely out of step with the times. To begin with, it contains no reference to the Paris climate agreement.

Why former Green Party leader Elizabeth May is calling on the Liberals and the NDP to deliver a climate change accountability bill that meets the demands of science — and our kids.
Budget 2021: Money for fossil fuels, climate action don't mix
Budget 2021 leaves billions of subsidies to fossil fuels and the construction of Trans Mountain as a publicly owned pipeline, plus approvals for new exploration for oil and gas, in place, writes MP and former Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

Economists fear that bailing out Big Oil will worsen our chances of economic recovery post-COVID-19. And no one wants to point out that it will worsen our chances for the survival of human civilization.
Global pandemic, what will our legacy be this time?
MP Elizabeth May reflects on working to help Canadians amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and what the pandemic could mean for the climate emergency
Elizabeth May asks, 'At what cost, Canada?'
The Liberals paid a price vastly exceeding the TMX pipeline value in order to take on a project that Kinder Morgan had clearly decided would not fly.
