Their partisanship is showing
Posted by Dave Bagler · August 03, 2021 10:38 AM
Heartwood Institute rejects “strategic” voting campaign.
350 Canada has launched its 2021 election campaign—Climate Emergency Alliance. Their goal is to elect more Green and NDP MPs by running either a Green or NDP candidate in certain ridings to boost the other’s chances. We are facing a climate emergency, and concerns about voter choice aside, the campaign is understandable. But, this is a partisan campaign in non-partisan clothing. Their decision to exclude the Liberals belies their emergency rhetoric.
350 Canada casts the Liberals—not the Conservatives—as their bogeyman, focusing on NDP/Green cooperation. Does the NDP champion climate action like the Greens? Are the Liberals any worse than the NDP?

Electing Greens Matters
Posted by Dave Bagler · July 14, 2021 9:30 AM
Once the pandemic is over, we’ve stopped distancing, and all the bubbles have popped, I need to visit PEI as a tourist. So far, all my trips to that lovely island have been as a campaigner. My first trip to PEI was in 2015, where I coordinated Peter Bevan-Baker’s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) and Election Day efforts in his breakthrough win. Since then, I coordinated GOTV for Lynne Lund’s by-election in 2016, Hannah Bell’s by-election win in 2017, and Lynne Lund’s and Trish Altass’s wins in the 2019 general election. So I like PEI.
