YO Lionel "The Big Talking Yankee Lawyer" You really say Hey to our latest Attorney General and her equally mindless and very lazy minions such as Jan Jensen N'esy Pas Hillary "Cry Baby" Clinton, Mr "Tough Guy" Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau "The Younger"?

Methinks Donald, Hillary, their FBI buddies,  legions of cops politicians and other snobby lawyers like yourself should pay closer attention to our emails EH Lionel?

_(Français à suivre)_

Thank you for contacting the Green Party of Canada. Due to the high
volume of email, we cannot guarantee that all inquiries will be
answered. We will do our best to respond to inquiries as staffing and
resources permit.

In the meantime, you may find the answer you're looking for in Vision
Green [1], which lays out a plan to move Canada forward and to defend
the shared values and principles that built the country we love.

Our economic plan [2] invests in people and creates good jobs. We
will invest in infrastructure, education, and health care to
support strong communities [3]. Our proposed democratic reforms [4]
will make our politicians more accountable, our Parliament more
accessible, and our voting system more representative. Our plan
takes bold climate action [5], by embracing the solutions that we
already know work, encouraging research into those we have yet to
discover, and increasing the taxes paid by corporate polluters.

Green Members of Parliament, united by this vision for Canada, will
work on behalf of you, your family, and your community. If you would
like to help us grow, I would encourage you to visit our website [6],
where you sign up to volunteer [7] or make a donation [8].

Thank you again for your interest in the Green Party.

Nous vous remercions d’avoir contacté le Parti vert du Canada. En
raison de la grande quantité de courriels, nous ne pouvons garantir
que toutes les demandes seront traitées. Nous ferons notre possible
pour répondre à toutes les demandes selon le nombre d’employés et
les ressources dont nous disposons.

Entre temps, vous pouvez trouver la réponse à votre question en
consultant la publication Vision verte [9], un document qui définit
notre plan d’action pour faire avancer le Canada et pour défendre
les valeurs et les principes pour construire le pays que nous aimons.

Notre plan d’action économique [10] investit dans les gens et crée
de bons emplois. Nous investirons dans les infrastructures, en
éducation et dans les soins de santé pour soutenir des
collectivités fortes [11]. Notre proposition quant à une réforme
démocratique [12] rendra nos politiciens plus responsables, notre
Parlement plus accessible et notre système électoral plus
représentatif. Notre plan d’action prend des mesures vigoureuses
sur le réchauffement climatique [13] en adoptant les solutions qui,
selon nos connaissances, fonctionnent, en encourageant la recherche
dans des secteurs à découvrir et en augmentant les taxes et les
impôts payés par les entreprises pollueuses.

Les députés verts à la Chambre des communes, unis par cette vision
pour le Canada, travailleront en votre nom, celui de votre famille et
de votre collectivité. Si vous voulez nous aider à poursuivre notre
avancée, nous vous encourageons à consulter notre site web [14] où
vous pouvez donner votre nom comme bénévole [15] ou faire un don
[16].

Merci encore une fois de démontrer votre intérêt envers le Parti
vert.
