One of the things I hate about politicians, I shouldn't say I hate things, but one of the things I hate about politics is people who repeat the same talking point over and over and over again. ”

I prefer the Greens to remain an opposition party that's able to hold the government to account. ”

We've certainly always been a feminist party, with strong feminist principles. ”

I don't love being Leader of the Green Party. It is not really something I'd recommend to a good friend. It's not fun. ”

I love being a parliamentarian. I love it but I don't like politics. And I hate elections. ”

It's not as if being leader of the Green party is something that I do because I love being leader of the Green party. I love the Green party and this is a service. ”

I would love to focus on writing books that were not just about issues. ”

We were the first party to call for equal marriage. ”

We oppose any pipeline whose sole purpose is to export bitumen from Canada to make profits in other countries. ”

When we talk about product by pipeline or product by rail we need to be highly specific about what product we are shipping and under what terms and for what purpose. Solid bitumen by rail is safe as houses, but as again crude by rail poses different risk. ”
