Elizabeth May was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of supporters at the Hockey Hall of Fame as her Green Train arrived in Toronto on Wednesday September 24.
The trip, plus the fact tha the via train was hours late, was made in part ot highlight one of the central theme’s of the Green Party’s campaign which is the dire need to invest in rail infrastructure in Canada.
Doing so would address both climate change / greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, as well as provide a system for travel that is less dependant on depleting oil resources that our current method of moving ourselves and our products, cars and truck.
Here’s the speech in it’s entirety. Sorry, had to break into two parts due to YouTube limitations.
