This just in.  Brennan Louw is apparently singlehandedly trying to organize a protest about Canada reneging on its Kyoto commitments.  Over the last week he’s gotten over 150 supporters and called me about strategic help.  He wants a large protest so he’s looking ahead to early March as a target date.  I’ve suggested that he get an organizing committee together.  He works evenings so this will mostly be organized during the day.  If anyone else wants to get on board, and has a somewhat flexible daytime schedule, please contact Brennan at 416-520-3892.  Bravo, Brennan and thank you for your initiative.

I have arranged the first meeting for the new GPO next Wednesday at the Pape Danforth Library for 7 pm. Pass the word and let’s see if we can get a turnout like the GPC meeting!

Green Party of Ontario organizing meeting

Pape Danforth Library
(east side of Pape, just south of Danforth)

The next climate chaos organizing / outreach planning meeting will be on:

Tuesday, 2006 November 28, 7:00 pm
Trinity St Paul Centre
427 Bloor St West
(follow signs to the room)

Note: Date may change.

At our AGM we decided that we’d choose our Green Party of Canada candidate for the next federal election on or about Tuesday, 2007 February 6. Exact date, time and location are to be determined. Written notification to members will be sent at least 30 days before. Potential candidates seeking the nomination will need to file all their papers by two weeks before the nomination meeting.

Update: we now have a time and location.

Garth Turner isn’t a Green himself, but he knows we need a Green voice in Parliament, and so he’s canvassing with Elizabeth May in London North Centre.

If he can do it so can you.
