David Suzuki endorses Jonathan Pedneault in NDG Westmount

Canada's much loved host of "The Nature of Things," scientist and environmentalist, David Suzuki has called on voters in NDG Westmount to vote for Green Party deputy leader Jonathan Pedneault in the NDG-Westmount by-election, a significant endorsement as the campaign enters the home stretch. "I urge the voters of NDG-Westmount to vote for our climate and send Jonathan Pedneault to Ottawa as your MP.   

"David Suzuki's endorsement comes at a time when the emergency of climate change is more evident than ever. Floods, forest fires, smoke, devastating storms and heat waves are overwhelming Canadians from coast to coast to coast," said leader Elizabeth May. "We need Jonathan Pedneault in Parliament. By-elections are a risk-free opportunity for voters to send a strong message. The voters of NDG Westmount have an amazing opportunity to make history."

"Whether in the polls or on the ground in the riding, we're seeing great enthusiasm and momentum for the Green Party's ideas and proposals. The support of a leading figure such as David Suzuki is part of this and reinforces the idea that our party is the only one that takes the climate crisis seriously," said Jonathan Pedneault. "With ten days to go before the vote, we feel that NDG-Westmount can go from red to green.
