Elsewhere in Canada, we can win in Saanich Gulf-Islands (Elizabeth May) and Nanaimo-Ladysmith (Paul Manly). Until we have proportional representation, I do not believe we are competitive elsewhere in B.C. nor the fossil-fuel-producing provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is an enigma why we have not done better in Manitoba. I will look to my fellow Greens there to strengthen our appeal to voters in Manitoba. We can win Kitchener-Centre, Waterloo and Guelph where the GPC and GPO grassroots organizations are vibrant. I am confident that Anna Keenan will win in Malpeque, P.E.I., and will increase our popular vote elsewhere in the Atlantic provinces, although I do not see us taking back Fredericton or any other ridings in 2025.
At the end of the day, this winning strategy is only possible if we stay united as a party. Whatever the outcome of the leadership vote in three weeks, I intend to offer my services as a candidate in 2025 and I sincerely hope that all my fellow candidates will do the same. I will fight side-by-side with them and together we will advance the dream of Green Social Democracy in Canada.
