Many people have discounted you Prime Minster Trudeau! Many have discounted you as young, naive and idealistic. But the thing your father had, and that I believe you can embody, is a steadfast commitment to walking your own path. There is no move that best exemplifies Canada, best exemplifies you as the new Prime Minister of Canada, than making Elizabeth May the Minister of the Environment. At this pivotal moment in our country's history, the world needs you to be brave. Canada needs you to be brave. So please, on behalf of all Canadians, I ask you to be brave for my family, for your family, and not just for your friends on Bay Street, make Elizabeth May your Minister of the Environment. Please, Justin, inhabit the unexpected, demonstrate idealism, and do what Canada wants.

The Facts:

If Canada had a "Fair Elections Act" then the Green Party would have 12 seats in the House of Commons, instead they only have one, depriving the party of official status.

While Trudeau and the Liberals have promised reform of the democratic system it will not come early enough to help this term. Trudeau should reach across the aisle to help make this a fair parliament and a parliament in which all Canadians can believe.

No-one knows the environment portfolio better than May and she has strong and bold ideas that will benefit all Canadians. See her talent here:
