heading home from COP30 with new connections and a ton of ideas for new approaches to climate action at home and globally. I’m heartened by the progress that’s being made on information integrity, the enormous presence of Indigenous communities at this year’s COP, and the incredible international advocacy for a global Just Transition.

I’m also leaving Belem with a great sense of disappointment in Canada. Today Canada was named “fossil of the day,” a dubious honour for the country doing the most damage at COP and blocking climate action. Canada hasn’t won this black mark in over a decade.

Instead of attending COP30 this year, Prime Minister Carney stayed home to announce new fossil fuel projects that will harm the health of local communities and exacerbate the climate health crisis. And he passed the budget, which includes oil and gas subsidies and military spending, and tax breaks for private jets, but very little for climate action.

These actions come after months spent gutting Canadian climate policy—ending the consumer carbon price and home energy efficiency programs, pausing the electric vehicle sales mandate, cancelling the proposed emissions cap on the oil and gas industry, and signaling a plan to repeal anti-greenwashing legislation.

Reviewing this list of backwards steps makes me cringe… but I’m heading home with renewed energy and focus, ready to fight for the health of people in Canada and globally.

Team Avi was out at the St. Lawrence Market on Saturday, talking to neighbours about why groceries cost so much—and what we can do about it.

As .lewis has been saying, it’s time to take on the grocery cartels and build a public option for food that serves people, not profiteers. When a handful of corporations control every link in the food chain—from trucking to store shelves—it’s no wonder Canadians are getting squeezed.

Let’s make good food affordable for everyone, all the way from farm to fork.

With the changing climate, we need universal access to cool indoor spaces. A 26 degree maximum indoor temperature by-law would help! But in the meantime I've had fun partnering with CREW and Health Providers Against Poverty in St. Jamestown to help residents access the life-saving cooling devices they need. (We also need to stop burning fossil fuels to tackle the root cause of increasing temperatures! No more pipelines please.)

Had a great time prescribing air conditioners for St. Jamestown residents with CREW volunteers on behalf of Health Providers Against Poverty. We all need to keep cool in the face of climate change-induced heat waves! (Also…no more fossil fuel pipelines please)

Last night’s outcome was not the one we had hoped for. New Democrats suffered heavy losses from coast to coast. We will process, reflect on, and learn from the lessons and results together in the days and weeks ahead.

That being said, I truly could not be prouder of our campaign. We ran an incredibly strong local campaign, speaking with more than 14,000 individual voters! We spoke boldly against the genocide in Gaza and for real housing and climate justice in Toronto Centre. We heard from our neighbours about the kind of community and representation they are looking for.

But there were forces working nationally that were beyond our local control. As we reflect on the campaign nationally, I want to hear from all of you about how you see our movement growing in Toronto Centre and across Canada. I am so deeply grateful to our outgoing leader and all the progressive leaders across the NDP who made immense sacrifices to run and work in this election. It is so painful to see the unfairness of our first-past-the-post voting system and how it leaves voters feeling trapped election after election. Part of our process of reflection and renewal in the NDP must include a fight for an electoral system where every vote counts.

And I need to say thank you to all of our supporters for putting your trust in me. I will continue supporting New Democrats and will continue to organize for social and environmental justice in Toronto Centre and across the country. I’m still your neighbour — and I’m not going anywhere.

To every volunteer: every conversation you had, every door you knocked, every phone call you made, every pile of data sheets you entered, every late night and early morning you gave — your support mattered. Your determination and commitment to a more just world still matters.

To every donor: thank you for believing in me and donating to my campaign. Our local ground-game was as strong as it could possibly have been because of your financial contributions. You ensured that our volunteers always had flyers, that phone calls could be made, and that we had a campaign office to work from. This is not the end — just another beginning.

To every candidate who ran in our local race, and to everyone who voted in this election: Canada’s democracy isn’t perfect — but it is stronger because people who disagree can contest their visions for what we want our shared future to look like. I want to congratulate and thank everyone who ran and worked on election campaigns with care and hope for a better Canada.

And finally, I want to thank Kristyn Wong-Tam and the entire Toronto Centre NDP family who had my back throughout this election. We have created a remarkable and caring community of neighbours here in Toronto Centre who show up for each other and fight every day for justice. I could not have done this without you.

With love, hope, and optimism,

Samantha Green

Thank you to my patients and community members who joined to help me flyer at Friday prayers! Thank you especially to the amazing team at Regent Park Islamic Resource Centre for inviting me to speak today regarding the upcoming election on Monday April 28th. Many in the congregation know me as their doctor or as a neighbour in the community. I plan to take my experiences working in this community to Ottawa and represent the people of Toronto Centre.

A major concern I have heard time and time again is the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and Canada's part in supplying weapons and support to Israel. As the only candidate in Toronto Centre to fully support the end of the genocide, support ending all weapons sales to Israel, and support a free Palestinian state, I am proud to speak to constituents of this riding and tell them the NDP is the only party to stand in solidarity with Palestine freedom!
