Ann Peel is endorsed by Mary Ann Grainger, former CEO of the Toronto-Danforth Green Party Assn and Campaign Manager of Toronto-Danforth’s 2008 federal election campaign; and Chris Lea, former leader of the Green Party of Canada.
Dear fellow Toronto-Danforth greens,
I’m not at home. I’m away on a trip and will miss the nomination meeting, but I am most pleased there will be a contest. For the last few years I have been impressed with the hard work of Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu but I am convinced that a change would be heathy and take us to a new level. After considering the candidates I would like to endorse Ann Peel to be our next candidate.

Update: Adriana was selected as our 2012 candidate from a field of three strong Green women. She needs your help.
Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu is the Climate Change Critic for the Green Party of Canada and was the party’s local candidate for the 2011 general election. She has lived in Riverdale for 10 years with her husband Charlie and their children. This community is her home and she will always work to make it more safe, beautiful and vibrant.
As part of a commitment to fight for a liveable world for her five children, Adriana joined the Green Party in 2005 and revitalized the riding association as the CEO. Since then, she has been reaching out to the community, raising awareness of the climate crisis and promoting the policies necessary to address it.
As the Green Party candidate for the 2011 election, Adriana has canvassed the riding twice through. Read more »

On February 5th, 2012, we will select both a new riding executive and our candidate for the Toronto-Danforth by-election, who will aim to double the number of Green Party representatives in Parliament. Read more »
Update: The by-election was announced February 5, the same day we chose Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu as our candidate. Election day will be Monday, March 19.
According to Elections Canada, the by-election in Toronto-Danforth must be called no later than 2012 February 26.

“I’ve got an idea — let’s play hide and seek!” Mary Travers spoke, as I recall, on the 33-rpm vinyl record by Peter, Paul and Mary called “Peter, Paul and Mommy”, an anthology of some of my favourite children’s songs. Songs I love.
Well, I have an idea: let’s save humanity so that many more generations of children will sing children’s songs. Not an original idea but let’s stay with it. Read more »

Made from a film by Albert Bartlett, this video is 10 years old. The story begins in Boulder, Colorado, is a little tedious at the outset, and takes 80 minutes broken into 8 ten-minute segments. The content will be valuable for another 50 years.
It’s a clear explanation of exponential growth and its consequences. I recommend it.

Everyone makes assumptions or accepts assumptions others have made.
A scientist never believes that she is right. She does her best to prove herself wrong, and then, in the absence of such proof, behaves as if she might in fact be right.
A politician never believes that she is wrong. She does her best to associate with people who agree with her, and in the absence of any agreement, behaves as if she might be in fact be a wee bit wrong. Read more »
