Jim Harris has blogged about how the GPC has been instrumental in helping to win a court case that is a first step to removing the 2% voting threshold required for federal political parties to receive $1.75 per vote per year in federal funding.  Jim pushed hard for the GPC to get involved in this case when he was GPC Leader.  The decision has been appealed by the Attorney General but I think it is a great example of how the GPC can help to promote democratic reform in the country.  Well done, Jim!

The GPC staff have been doing a lot of work on the GPC website behind the scenes.  One of the things they set up a few months ago is a blog page [link].  Many prominent Greens are regularly posting articles, including former leader Jim Harris and GPC campaign manager George Read. The blogs are open to the public and have a lot of great commentary and insights for those who are interested.

Elizabeth May is running as the GPC candidate in today's federal by-election in London North Centre.  She has generated a lot of momentum as outlined in this CBC news video and these endorsements.  Check out Elizabeth's blog for more info.  Good luck Elizabeth!  We are all rooting for you to become the first Green Party MP ...

UPDATE:  Elizabeth was a strong second-place finisher with over 25% of the vote [link].  From everything I've heard Elizabeth's team ran a great campaign and we are continuing to attract voters from across the political spectrum [link].  I think these results will translate into more votes across the country in the next general election, as voters increasingly understand the strength of our candidates and policies.
