The Green Party of Canada announced today that it has eliminated $1 million in election-related debt in just eight months, thanks to supporters across the country who stepped up to keep a strong Green presence in Parliament.

“Eliminating $1 million in election debt in eight months is an extraordinary show of trust from supporters across the country,” said Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands. “That support strengthens our ability to keep showing up for Canadians in Parliament and in communities across the country.”

The snap election in 2025 was particularly challenging for smaller parties operating within a voting system that often leaves people feeling boxed in, voting to block an outcome they oppose rather than for their first choice. Many voters were left represented by MPs they did not want after holding their noses at the ballot box, while widely respected Green leaders like Paul Manly and Mike Morrice fell short despite strong local support.

The cost of mounting a federal campaign is significant, and with limited reimbursement, the Greens were left with approximately $1,000,000 in election debt. In response, supporters across the country moved quickly and decisively to erase it.

Rather than slowing after election day, Green Party fundraising accelerated. While all other federal parties, including the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, and Bloc Québécois, saw donations drop off following the April 28, 2025 election, Green supporters continued to give, delivering some of the party’s strongest post-election results in years.

That momentum included the party’s best third quarter since 2022, raising $393,446, and its strongest November since 2016, with $226,570 raised in that month alone. With the generous support of donors across the country, the Green Party raised a total of $3,326,225.61 over the 2025 fiscal year.

“I think what we’re seeing is people saying clearly: we need Greens in Parliament to hold this government to account,” said May. “When climate commitments are treated as optional, strong Green voices in Parliament matter more, not less. Real accountability comes from MPs who believe we can do better and who are willing to push for it.”

While concern about federal backsliding on climate commitments was a key catalyst, the party says the fundraising surge also reflects widespread frustration with a political system that discourages people from voting for what they truly believe in, and a desire to ensure that more Green MPs are elected in future elections.

“The election left many voters disappointed with the result in their own ridings,” May continued. “People want to vote for what they believe in and see it reflected in Parliament. This support shows a determination to make that possible, and to elect more Green MPs.”
