Green Party Platform Released Thursday! What the Networks Don't Want Canadians to Know: smart economy – strong communities – true democracy.

Media Release April 7, 2011 TORONTO – The Green Party released its platform at a press conference in Toronto on Thursday, April 7, 2011. The green book contains tax cuts for low income Canadians, tax splitting for Canadian families and real measures to clean up the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “Our platform makes it clear. The Green Party of Canada has a plan for a smart economy, strong communities and true democracy. We have spent our time developing solutions - not engaging in partisan name-calling. We have solutions to help families and young people, to combat climate change, to create a national transportation strategy, strengthen our communities and to fix our democracy. We call it smart economy, strong communities and true democracy,” said Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. The platform contains a suite of measures designed to be economically viable, create jobs, address poverty, protect our health care system, increase support for youth and seniors, respond to the climate crisis and clean up the environment. Each measure has been fully costed. “We will create thousands of jobs investing in renewable energy, expanding passenger rail, modernizing freight and retrofitting thousands of buildings,” added Ms May. ”We are also the only party so far in this campaign speaking to international issues and raising trade deals as a concern.” The Green Party Green Book is available at www.greenparty.ca/platform
