[:en]The Green 7 Confront the Burning Questions of the G7 Summit[:]
2021-06-10 18:00 - 19:00 UTC | Zoom
How can we tackle the outrageous unfairness of the global financial system? Climate Finance is the top issue for the climate talks in December, but who believes that the world’s financiers are serious about climate action, let alone climate justice?
On the eve of the G7 Summit, Green parliamentarians and experts from around the world provide answers to some of the burning questions overhanging the G7 summit.
​Moderated by economist and former Member of the European Parliament Molly Scott Cato, the forum will highlight Green leadership on two key Green demands from G7 and COP26 – Carbon Tax and Dividend, and Climate Justice – as well as provide a platform for voices from the Global South that are typically excluded from G7 deliberations.
Speakers include:

Elizabeth May O.C., Member of Parliament, Saanich-Gulf Islands, Parliamentary Leader of Canadian Green Caucus and Global Greens Convenor of the Parliamentarians Network
Teanau Tuiono, Member of Parliament Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand
Martin Ogindo, Party Leader of Green Congress of Kenya and former Member of Parliament
Alejandro Aguilera, Member of Parliament of Venezuela & General Secretary of the Movimiento Ecológico de Venezuela
Dorothy Nalubega, African Coordinator for Global Greens Women’s network, Chairperson East African Green Women’s Network
Evelyne Huytebroeck, Co-Chair of the European Green Party, Former, Former Minister of Energy and Urban Renovation of Belgium

[:en]Proportional Representation: Lessons learned and looking ahead[:]
2021-06-04 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Toronto)
You’re Invited to Fair Vote Canada’s 2021 Conference!
It’s time for Fair Vote Canada’s annual conference on Friday June 4th and Saturday June 5th―and we hope you can make it.
We’ll review the past year, learn from expert guests, connect with supporters across the country, and build our movement for proportional representation!
2021 is a special year for Fair Vote Canada.
Two decades ago, three ordinary Canadians came together with a big idea: an organization to campaign for proportional representation in Canada. On July 27, 2001, that organization was officially incorporated as Fair Vote Canada.
It’s been 20 years packed with hard work, excitement, heartbreak, important lessons and renewed hope. Fair Vote Canada is driven by passionate volunteers and supported by Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Thanks to you, we’re bigger and more determined than ever!

[:en]Conversations with Linda Solomon Wood: Elizabeth May, Earth Day 2021[:]
2021-04-22 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Vancouver)
For many folks, going back to the 1980s might signal a return to neon leg warmers, Star Wars, and synthpop. For Elizabeth May, it would probably mean fighting for international ozone layer protection and the 1987 Montreal Protocol, a benchmark in multilateral agreements for climate action. Through the ‘80s, the former Green Party leader was beginning her career as an environmental lawyer and policy advisor in Canada.
You can’t tell the story of modern environmentalism in Canada without Elizabeth May. May helmed Canada’s Green Party from 2006 until stepping down in 2019. Over those 13 years, she led the party from obscurity to prominence through a seismic shift in culture as the climate crisis became a pressing international concern. Her tireless work ethic has garnered bipartisan respect; in 2013, she was recognized by her colleagues as the year’s Hardest Working MP. May currently serves as a Member of Parliament for her longtime, loyal riding in Saanich-Gulf Islands. She’s also contributed guest columns to National Observer.
Now, May is returning as a guest with National Observer founder and editor-in-chief Linda Solomon Wood for a special Conversations event: Earth Day With Elizabeth May.
