  • Voting Green this year at the May 2 elections!

  • Everyone is voting green here cause anything else is a throw away vote

  • These idiots think the government is made of money...

  • Great ad, from an Australian Green, lots of heart in it

  • I did not vote for the Greens but they are the only of the smaller parties I would vote for. The environment is a serious issue which the mainstream should address. As for parties such as UKIP or the BNP, they have nothing to offer for humanity.

  • Green party are outrageous. pro communist eu, pro fake man made global warming, pro deindustrialisation of the west, they want us living in huts! wind turbines don't work! look at lord moncktons assessment he exposes this scam!

  • @cnutofcnuts

    I see where you are coming from, but I don't think they want us to live in huts exactly. I'd personally hate to live in a hut, but if that's what was needed to secure the planet's future, I'd do it.

    Let's take a logical view of this, I can't see the human race going back to living in huts, but at the minute, worldwide, we are living in a world that pretty much runs on oil, and the sad fact is that oil runs out. So I think we need to convert into a sustainable way of living.

  • The green party is a joke.

  • @stepheng1483

    Why do you think the green party is a joke? I thought it would be a no-brainer that we need to convert into a sustainable way of living instead of reaping the planets' limited oil. Obviously something needs to change in the way our current lives run, otherwise the recources we depend on will be depleted and then we will all be in serious trouble.

  • @Gaznugget

    True, but there are far more important issue to deal with like how Jews have infiltrated and subverted Western nations, what is the Green's policy on this vital issue?

  • @stepheng1483

    Are you serious? How is Jews infiltrating and subverting Western nations (whatever that means) a "far more important issue" (doesn't make any sense) than our planet. What exactly do you mean? I don't understand.

    Don't you realise that NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is more important than the planet we live on, and how we live on it. The issue you seem to think is more important can't possibly compare to the severity of the issue I raised. Please explain, I'm a little confused.

  • @Gaznugget Unless we do something against the nwo Jews there will not even be a white race left on this earth, we will first be out numbered in our own country, and then mongrelized out of existence. Our unique race and culture gone forever. If that happens, it is irrelevant to me what happens.

    Compared with this one issue, whether our race continues or not, every other problem is absurdly small in comparison.

    If we secure the white race's futere first, then we can think about green issues.

  • @stepheng1483

    No offence, but are you insane?! What are you talking about? Is this a racism thing you're talking about. You make it sound like something is wiping out all white people.

    "every other problem is absurdly small in comparison." - Ahem, even if what you say is true, and the white race are obliterated, the Earth will still be here. Your logic doesn't make any sense, how can you possibly compare something so silly, to the planet EVERYTHING depends on to exist. Explain clearly please

  • @Gaznugget I am talking about limitless non white immigration. Unless something is done we will first be out numbered in our own country, then mongrelized out of existence. What is the greens policy to stop this genocide?

    The Earth will still be here, but our people will not. If our race is wiped out it is irrelevant what happens.

  • @stepheng1483

    Oh I see what you mean. You need to make your view more understandable. You're talking about UK immigration and the huge negative effects it has on us socially.  What you fail to understand though is even if our race were gone, and immigrants took over... I still don't think immigrants taking over our country is more important than saving the planet from climate change. It should be a no brainer - The Planet itself, or a country's people.

  • @Gaznugget I disagree completely, it is completely un-natural and wrong to willingly allow an entire race and its culture to be wiped out. It would be a crime against Nature, and you greens are all for that aren't you? In fact, I'm surprised a green wouldn't be bothered if an entire race were wiped out, would you be bothered if an animal species were to be wiped out?

    What is the green's policy regarding the vital issue of immigration?

  • Go green or go home!

  • sorry funfacts123 you're way off on this one. The video is awesome, pass it around!

  • No way, this video is awesome!

  • :( why does green do this? Im all for the grenn party but WHY this vidoe it sucks people are ganna think it sucks COME on green COME ON

  • You must not understand the idea behind the Green Party if you think this video sucks. Listen to the lyrics watch the pictures and think about what you want to experience in life. What kind of quality of life you'd like your future kids to have. Think hard and long and then reassess your comments. Great thing about this video ... it was made by someone who didn't care about the message and only wanted money. It was made by real people who want real change.

  • meant to say it wasn't made by someone who didn't care about the message and only wanted money ... you get the idea ... hopefully.

  • Best song ever

  • Elizabeth May is an American!

  • What is the Green Party doing to protect human rights in regards to male genital integrity regarding Male Genital Mutilation (MGM), aka Routine Infant Circumcision (RIC)? In this country, it's illegal to amputate the genitals of females for a very long time, but males are not afforded this protection. If the GP is for protecting human rights, there should be equal protection for minor males in Canada, too. :]

  • vote green!

  • Green on Top

    But on 08-Nov-08 not 08-Sep-08 :)

    (mistake in the AD)

  • Go Greens! good luck May!

  • you know nothing about global warming. yes C02 helps plants but too much. (water vaper is made in high concentrations of co2 beacause of the greenhouse effect) but cuurently there is too much. it theatens humand life. thousands of people already died because of bad air pollution in china

  • Air polution in China is from smog, caused by industry gone amuck without any control. There is not too much CO2 in the air, we need more for healthy plants. Don't get this mixed up with air polutants i.e. carbon dust and other particals.

    You green nuts would have the world stop everything. Man contributes only 3% of the polutants in the air so even if we stopped everything it would do very little to help.

    Try reading a book or doing real research.

    You know nothing about global warming.

  • plants are dying because there are TOO MUCH pollutants in the air. SCIENTISTS have publishind all the facts for the last 30 years! it's not a lie, it's not an uncertainty. it's a FACT

  • I agree there are too many pollutants in the air, but I disagree that CO2 is one of them.

    Of course the weather is changing, we went through several ice ages in the past and I am sure there will be several more in the future.

    I have news for you if we are going into a warming or cooling period, man can do nothing about it.

    Of the total pollutants in the air, man is responsible for only 3% of them, the rest are natural causes.

  • even if what you say is true, SCIENTIFCIC study shows that CO2 is a MAJOR POLLUTANT AND that over the past 30 years the average tampature on earth has risen 3 degrees celcius (it also shows that that tempature rise is more significant than you think). the evidence all points to pollution by Humans

    P.S can you cite where you got your information from when you said "Of the total pollutants in the air, man is responsible for only 3% of them," to see if your information is reliable

  • The temperature rise in the last one hundred years is .6 degress celcius, not the 3 you wrote in your comments.

    The anouncement was called the manhattan declaration, just google that.

  • sorry. it may have been the projected change. Note that in the book WE ARE THE WETHEAR MAKERS the are a lot of reliable evidence that CO2 is a major pollutant. Also note that big companies and corporations report small uncertainties in scientist reports to undermine the massive evidence supporting global warming.

    P.S i couldn't find the manhattan declaration. all i saw was blogs on google

  • The Manhattan declaration on climate change, the meeting was held in New York from Feb.29 to March 4th, 2008. 500 scientists signed the declaration stating that CO2 is not a polutant and has no effect on the temperature.

    Look it up on google.

    They also stated that global warming is not a result of human action on the planet.

  • if you look at other sites you will see that many more scienctits, enviromentalists, and orginizations agree that CO2 is a major contributor to global waming. there are tonnes and tonnes of evidence supporting them and much less supporting those scientists. Note that some may be representing companies that gains huge profits from oil, some may be very enxeperianced and som may have been bribed with money to sign it

  • Comment removed

  • healthy planet means healthy people!

  • There's a difference between supporting a change in law and actively flouting a law. We can't be electing open lawbreakers, and no deal was required for the ndp to be pro-pot they already were pro-pot. When the ndp get elected I plan to open a coffee shop and wait to get busted because that's the way it's done, remember paul magder fighting sunday closing laws, he had to do it in court so man up if you want to play with the big boys.Marijuana and green party have no chance, vote ndp and hope :-)

  • if they are selling strategic voting you know they are a sham!!!

    Strategic voting always messes up the process, if they said vote with your heart I might be convinced.

    Where do the greens sit on Agenda 21 and Codex Alimentarius? These thing have already been passes and are serious threats to Canada and me and you, but the Greens don't talk about those things and say vote Strategicly?

    Don't vote in this election! Give notice you will not be represented by the next government!!!

  • A fantastic, moving, powerful, indipendant advert! Well done!!!

  • Any word on the latest polls yet?

  • Very well done video, go green power! Everyone strong Green riding should make one of these.

  • Amazing creativity Mike!!! Especially the recycling symbolism of the cardboard signs. Good luck to both you and the Green party.

  • Great news today September 11, 2008!

    Green Party gets to join in the Federal Election debates.

  • @ThisBoyTV the Green Party is the only non-corrupt party.

  • @123ArcticIce321

    Really? My comment was from 2 years ago because I was happy to get to see Lizzie on stage. Read their policy manuals to see how much it would cost Canada to have them in office? The amount is in the Trillions of Dollars in a country that is already in debt 82.2% to GDP ratio. That is almost 20% more debt than the U.S. and you will never hear that on Canadian snooze media.

  • @ThisBoyTV did I ever say ANYTHING about ANYTHING having to do with Canada?

  • @123ArcticIce321

    is there a country without a Green something in it :)

    Green cereal, Green bread, Green carrots (ugh) etc etc and now Green money made of plastic! (an oil by-product)

  • One accomplishment is pretty nice, but it will take more than Guelph to win the election. Tom King is also pretty popular there so it will be interesting to see who votes for whom.

  • Great video and great campaign. Good work all.

  • Enjoyed your campaign video - I hope Guelph does indeed go Green!!!

  • Well done video, me likes

  • Great video, simple and to the point with poetry to boot. Thanks.

  • Go Mike Nagy! Let Elizabeth speak! Grassroots issues are taking root into the mainstream. It's our time to shine.

  • As a born and raised guelph green I must send out a big congratulations to everyone working so hard on this campaign, I don't know anyone in guelph not voting green this time around, you have the mommentum, and I can't wait to see the results!

  • real change is on its way folks, donate to the GPC so these messages can leave youtube and reach out to the boobtube

  • Beautiful video & song. It gives me goosebumps!

  • Elizabeth May:

    "In the 2004 election, the NDP scored slightly higher than the Green party. [BUT!]In 2006, the Green party IMPROVED the details of it policies and came in SLIGHTLY higher than the New Democratic Party."

    I bet it's easy to pass the Sierra Enviro-test if you're head of the Sierra club of Canada... eh May?

    Regardless, I still think Cap & Trade would work better than a Carbon Tax.

    And a carbon tax by the greens or the liberals is the same. Greens won't write legislation with 2 seats.

  • I think you underestimate the policy development that the Green Party has undertaken since 2004.

  • According to the whole quote, what it would take for the NDP to "tie" with the greens for "green-ness" is for them to not support the asbestos industry in Quebec. Last time I checked, a party with a potential of 2 seats didn't have the teeth to change Quebec.

    But they DO have the power to split up the environmental vote!

  • Perhaps this discussion should use the most recent green grades from the Sierra Club:

    Green Party A-

    Liberal Party B+

    NDP B

    Bloc B-

    Conservative Party F+

  • Yes. Those are very informative letters. I feel like I understand all the nuances of diesel taxation now. Like how taxation of diesel as per the liberal (and green) party will put undue strain on public transit buses (which run on diesel).

    Or how electric bikes are pointless because they get shipped from China, use electricity and only go the speed of a bicycle.

    Or maybe we could talk about Paul Martin's deal to not run a Liberal in Elizabeth May's riding.

    Wonder if that helps their rating....

  • Go Greens!

  • Excellent video!!!

  • I applaud the Green Party and the great optimism of its supporters. Changing Canada is going to be very difficult and perhaps many of the substantive outcomes will not be the same as the desired outcomes suggested in this video, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try!

  • Bob Dylan Redux

    thanks ,enjoyed immensely

  • This video communicates that the Green Party of Canada takes a position on issues that will benefit the present and future families of the middle class and poor Canadians. That is, the Green Party of Canada will invest in cleaning our environment, better public transportation, fair trade, clean technologies and public not private health care.

    This video features Green Party candidates and average Canadians alike holding recyclable cardboard.

    Great video.

  • The Federal Election hasn't been officially announced yet, but very exciting news is that a former Liberal MP who was an independant has joined the green party. Although not offically the first to be "elected" he's the first active green MP.

    It's believed now that because a green MP is sitting in the commons, the Green Party MUST be invited to a televised debate...although nothing is for certain.

  • great!

  • This is a great video. All GREENS need to expand this process and try to keep getting the message out in all possible media formats. The internet reaches far more people, quicker than any other way.

    Bravo and thanks for helping to spread the truth.

  • At last! The Green Party of Canada will have a voice in the televised national debates!

  • Is this confirmed yet?

  • Love it! Grassroots at work!

  • Fantastic positive message for change...

  • Change is possible, a better Canada is possible and a better life for our children is possible! Great Video, Vote Green, Win a seat to show that Canadians truly care about their country!

  • When Mike gets elected, this will represent a techtonic shift in North American politics and the floodgates of change will open!!!

  • I'm so excited that this is really going to happen this time. Go Greens!

  • Go Greens! Go Mike Nagy! What's the status of this by-election with the announcement of the federal election to be held October 14th!?!?!

  • All by-elections will be cancelled if Harper calls a federal election. Those candidates who just ran the marathon and spent the cash will have to do the same thing again. And with all the parties and thier leaders in the fray this time...

  • Thats a really creative way to convey a message

  • Mike is a solid candidate who is capable of winning this riding~please support him any way you can.

  • Excellent video celebrating both Green Ideas and the vitality of the Green Movement in Guelph

  • Done far better than the CPC attack ads and I bet it cost a heck of a lot less to make!

  • We did spend money on the video..

    ...we had to buy some Sharpie markers because our old ones ran out!!!

    :D

  • so many great lines in that song.

  • Cool!

  • You might have to recycle that cardboard for a snap election,.... Go Mike and the Green Team!

  • Our cardboard (which was originally recycled from used boxes) has been sent to the Guelph WetDry recycling facility!! :)

  • Sept 9th Green Party 3 seats

  • Very creative video. However, I would be nice to see Green party brand along with Mike Nagy's name. This video is a very generic video that almost any candidate from the green party can use in their on-line campaign. May I have the video file so we can use it for our candidate? Thank-you!

  • Best Wishes Mike! You, your team - and Guelph are inspiring!

  • Someone please post the tune as an MP3!

    This is a great video well done and the point is that voting Green in Guelph, heck all of Canada is the right thing to do for our kids for our grandchildren and for ourselves.

    Hats Offf to the folks who made this!

  • The MP3 release is in the works!! :D

  • i know that we can do this right now i know that we can do this somehow i know that we can do this right now i know that we can do this right by tuesday morning had a whole new creed i finally realised what it was that i need but they were not things in my possession but only things you could learn from a lesson i used have thoughts in the negative view 'bout economic pressures and the things that they do but i know we can still make it
  • ok, maybe 4 ... youtube can't count ;) this is pt 2 well i want a world with a cleaner view where i can swim in lakes and the rivers too well i know that we can still make it and i know there is a sunrise, just above the valley, somewhere lighting up our lives
  • screw that i'm voting purple

  • Young Greens should do spin off videos of this in their home towns.

  • Best of luck Mike! Let's hope that the by-election goes ahead!

  • Excellent video. The music really captures the spirit of the campaign.

  • Send me your favourite Green videos, and I'll make them into a playlist that everyone can enjoy! :)

  • this is an awesome offer - could you (ie would you be willing to) take stills (of peeps with cardboard messages, per below) and make them into a moving montage? by take i don't mean photograph but accept/collect

  • That's a great idea! Let's get to work on it!

  • I love that this video gets its message across without slamming anyone and in a gentle manner for the viewer. Thank you!

  • Great little vid. Who did the music?

  • David Cox (from the video description)

  • I support the Green party, but i feel like all the people in that video were white Canadians above 35 years old.

  • If you're not a white person above 35 years old, then get involved ... then record yourself or others in your own video with messages of hope. You're a leader too, all you gotta do is lead.

  • Anyone who supports the Green Party across the world can get involved! I agree with GreenMD.. post a video response to this video! Anyone with some cardboard, a marker, a borrowed digital camera (or even a cellphone camera) and an internet connection can join the fun.. I'm happy to help out if you need more information on how to upload to YouTube! :)

  • Hi Jon ... wow, we must really be working hard in Guelph if we're looking that old! ;) There are at least 5 "kids" (my word, at 38 that's how I see them) in that video and a few more behind the scenes. I hear what you're saying re optics but actually there is 'diversity' represented it's maybe just not highly visible (although you can't miss the guy on the bridge? what res are you watching in?). I guess too, knowing them, when I watch it I don't see colour or age, I just see their heart :)

  • Excellent video with a great green message. Loved the music! Go Green! Go Guelph!

  • Nice video. Go Mike! Best of luck to you on the 8th.

  • I love it! It's great... I look forward to September 8!

  • So, Wizard of Socialism, should you change your handle to Whizzer-d of Trollism instead?

    (By the way Whiz, no card-carrying Conservative would ever use the phrase "so-called green party" - that's a dead giveaway of a bitter or arrogant Dipper. You'll have to at least choose your words better - and create a sock puppet account - if you want to succeed as an agent provocateur)

  • Got your head in the tar sands ? You wanna try and spread your oil tarnished philosophies ... go ahead ... meanwhile the rest of us will be working towards an oil free and sustainable future, where we use hydrogen, renewables, and natural systems to promote health, happiness and economical/ecological harmony. It's happening now, the world's doing it ... why aren't we? We gonna let our oil addiction stop us? I for one vote we take our country into rehab and stop smoking oil.

  • A fantastic video. With heartfelt message not the standard attack ad from the old line parties

  • This great and inspiring in its simplicity. Thank you Guelph!

  • love this vid! it gets me smiling and I've been whistling the tune all morning. thanks for this little piece of inspiration!

  • lol...love it...I keep whistling the tune all day. It is inspiring and has put aspring back in my step :)

  • Love it - really shows why Green is better than Liberal/Conservative/NDP

  • This video is just so well done. And the song works perfectly

  • Brill! The music really compliments the images- great work!

  • Go Green(s)! Guelph is going to make history and set a great example and will make the province of Ontario turn green. Mike Nagy does rule.

  • Yay, Greens!

    Really, there IS no other relevant political party.

  • Time to vote for REAL change...not same old politics painted red or blue. Try for REAL change in the environment....REAL change in the economy....REAL change in Health Care....vote GREEN and vote for our first Green MP...Vote Mike and help make history!

  • awesome video!!

    i like the "350 k/h train" part :)

  • captsmiley, as was said before - this vote won't affect the balance of power in the government, due to being a by-election only in Guelph. It is not a general federal election - we are electing a candidate more than we are a party. So a vote for mike is not wasted!

    In fact it IS the most strategic to create the change that we need to see. Any of the other parties getting elected in this by-election won't create waves of change in Canadian politics. And that is not a bias, it is just a fact.

  • captsmiley: out with the old, in with the new - if we keep voting that way, nothing will ever change!

  • Brilliant!! Go Mike!

  • Captsmiley... the government isnt at stake in this by-election. One more Conservative, one more Liberal, one more NDP won't change anything at all in the House of Commons. Only one candidate, and one NEW PARTY in the House of Commons can. For that reason, VOTE GREEN and don't buy into scare tactics!

  • Go for it Guelph!

  • I agree. The lyrics to the song are perfect! Anyone know the singer?

  • The singer is David Cox. He did it custom for this video!

  • My three-and-a-half year old daughter Brianna really wants to know: why won't they let her friend Elizabeth speak? And I can't explain it to her. Not because the concepts of exclusion and marginalization aren't in her vocabulary, but because there is NO good reason to exclude her. Guelph has the chance to fix this travesty now and forever - elect Mike Nagy and put Green in the House! Give all Canadians the right to hear Elizabeth! Make history!

  • Way to go Guelph!

  • Fair trade not free trade. It's about time we elect someone who is willing to pay attention tot he forces behind globalization. Help make Canada more self sufficient. I vote green because all the other parties are all the same Corporate whores to me.

  • You should post a transcript of those lyrics, they are so poignant.

  • this is my best efforts (just from listening): in 3 parts cuz it's over 500 characters! talking to my friend on the cellular phone talking 'bout the problems that i call my own he brought to the table a whole new plan he said bring it to the people and make a stand it sounded to me, the right thing to do we have to make a change to make it through start from the bottom and go right to the top you gotta reach for the stars and never get off
  • I'm from Antigonish, but I support this campaign without a doubt.

  • Great message .. authentic, honest and inspiring!

  • I wish I hadn't moved away from Guelph. Go Mike Nagy!

  • I really like the phrase "Health Care, not Sick Care". A GREAT ring to it.

  • Another Amazing Video from the Guelph Campaign. You guys are going to WIN!!!

  • Great work! I am proud to be part of the Green Revolution. It is happening!

  • AMAZING VIDEO!!

    This gets me so excited about Guelph and Canada's future. Getting Mike elected will change the future of Canadian politics!

    It is the most logical and most strategic vote in this by-election - AND it gives me SO much HOPE!

    Thanks for running, Mike! You are amazing.

  • I vote Green because I have hope for a better future!!

    :)

  • Awesome job Guelph Team!

  • Wow.

  • Great video! It made me smile with hope, nod in agreement, and encourage me to keep on going!

  • Great video! Guelph's Going Green!

    Canada's first Green MP: an idea whose time has come.
