The Green Party of Canada , led by Annamie Paul, is one of Canada's smallest national parties, and Paul is the newest party leader at the federal level. The Greens are generally known for their commitment to helping the environment, reversing climate change, and implementing democratic reforms. But you're a student, doing your best to survive another September!
What's in the Green policy book for you? Let's find out. The Greens are making a big play for the student vote this year, with a promise to make post-secondary education completely tuition-free. This means college, university, apprenticeship training — whichever route you want to take, the government will support you. Paul's goal is to tear down barriers to education so all Canadians can reach their full potential in school and at work.
That's not all, though — if you're a former student working on paying down your student loans, there's good news for you too. The Greens have promised to cut all federally-owned student debt, which means your repayments would suddenly be a lot lighter! Environmental issues are the Greens' bread and butter — after all, that's where their name comes from!
Paul's Green Party has put forward an ambitious climate agenda that aims to get the country to zero emissions by The party also plans to revamp Canada's industrial sectors to drastically reduce the greenhouse gases emitted, especially in manufacturing and resource extraction. Not surprisingly, the Greens are focused on green investments, meaning most new job gains under a Paul administration would likely be in renewable energy, reclamation, and other environmentally-friendly industries.
The Greens also recognize the need to support workers as they retrain for new fields. Beyond just jobs, though, the Greens are proponents of a "guaranteed livable income. This may sound like a utopic notion, but the idea is growing in popularity, and there's evidence that it works to keep people healthier and happier. The Greens' National Housing Strategy focuses on rental housing, rather than ownership, which may be a refreshing change if you're in no position to take on a mortgage.
The Greens are also working to end colonialism and rebuild relationships with Canada's Indigenous peoples, while supporting democratic reform at the national level. Paul also wants to implement a national pharmacare and dental care plan to help struggling families with their medical bills. So, if you're sick of high tuition costs and student loan payments, you're concerned about climate change, or you're ready for a new path forward alongside Canada's Indigenous communities, Annamie Paul's Green Party may be for you.
