Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands, will be reading from and signing her latest book, Who We Are: Reflections on My Life and Canada. She will also be conducting a public talk.
This book is an argument for our future, the future of our children, and our grandchildren and generations beyond. It is about how diminished democracy undermines our best hope to avoid the worsening of the climate crisis, accelerating to threaten human civilization itself. It is a book about how we can make a difference.
In this marriage of memoir and manifesto, Elizabeth provides personal perspectives on her approach to politics, policy, and what it means to be Canadian.
Greg Malone, Actor, Political Satirist and Writer, will welcome and introduce Elizabeth May.
When: Friday, November 7, 2014 at 7pm
Where: Celestial Gallery, Johnson Geocentre, 175 Signal Hill Road, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
Books will be available for purchase.

“Elizabeth May is without doubt the most impressive party leader in Canada today --superhumanly hardworking, dedicated, smart, witty, and fearless when speaking truth to power and to the public. Who We Are reminds us she is also a fine writer. May’s insider story takes us into her own remarkable life and her profound connection with the lives of others on this planet: great and small, human and not. A fascinating and inspiring book.”
- Ronald Wright, author of A Short History of Progress
