Bells Corner United Church is holding an Eco-Fair on October 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can find details on their website at www.bcuc.org. Elizabeth May will be a Keynote Speaker at the event. There will be information on worm composting (tried it and failed so I obviously need education in the matter) and an opportunity to bring in your electronics for recycling (who doesn't want to clear out the landfill in their basement?). So stop by!. Download the PDF schedule of events by clicking on this link.

John Hogg's Acceptance Speech as the Federal Candidate for the Green Party of Canada in Carleton-Mississippi Mills

We are at the beginning of an election. Some call it an unnecessary election. The traditional parties seem to be saying the same thing with minor variations. But being on the same course doesn’t make it the right course. The voters of Carleton—Missississipi Mills have been telling me that they are looking for something different. Something productive. Something to vote for. This election is an opportunity for voters to make a lasting, fundamental difference.

I will give the voters in this riding that opportunity.

At the national level, this year—this election—the Green Party can—and will—make a difference. We see the big picture. We recognize the real issues. And we will bring them to the forefront of this campaign. Climate change. An aging population. We have the solutions. The real problems aren’t technical. What is needed is the courage to face the problems head-on. The Green Party has that courage. We have a clear vision for a smart economy that is sustainable in our children’s lifetime, and their children’s.

The Green Party believes in real, grass-roots democracy, where Members of Parliament represent the people of their riding, not their leader. I will speak out for the people of Carleton—Mississippi Mills. I know the issues we face, from partial expropriation of farmer’s property to short-sighted development in urban areas. In many cases I personally share the pain, from the challenges of the job market to pension loss when a company that was “too big to fail” isn’t. I know the problems. And I will offer solutions. We can build strong communities together.

Finally, democracy can be complex. Democracy can be chaotic. But democracy does not have to be fueled by rage or fear. I will appeal to the best in our hearts. I will lay out a message of hope, because there is hope, and hope in abundance. If we strive for the best—together—then, for all the perils we face today, the best is yet to come for Carleton—Mississippi Mills, Canada, and our planet.

Thank you for placing your trust in me to represent the Green Party of Canada in Carleton—Mississippi Mills in this election. I promise I will do my best to reward that trust.
