Canada did not merely assimilate; it was genocide. From unmarked graves to electroshock torture and forced sterilizations, the harm was systemic, deliberate, and ongoing. Denying what it is, commemorating one day a year, is erasure. #truthandreconciliation alisonywlam.wixsite.com/alisonlam-fo...

Brazil’s decision to host COP30 in Belém is framed as a symbolic gesture: a summit in the heart of the Amazon What good is symbolism when the people most affected by climate change are priced out of involvement? #cop30 #climatechange #ClimateAction alisonywlam.wixsite.com/alisonlam-fo...

While Canadians believe that we live in an environment with a fair and just electoral system, it is clear that the system actually changes the way voters think about democracy. @theglobalgreens.bsky.social @canadiangreens.bsky.social #ParticipatoryDemocracy alisonywlam.wixsite.com/alisonlam-fo...

Dans cet épisode, @mj-yelle.bsky.social s'entretient avec Isabella Robinson, organisatrice de campagne expérimentée et bénévole pour @canadiangreens.bsky.social et @greens.org.au. open.spotify.com/episode/4qYj...

Last week, the ICJ issued an advisory opinion affirming that nation states have legal obligations to protect the climate system. This resonates deeply with the arguments I presented earlier this month. #COP30 #ClimateAction @theglobalgreens.bsky.social alisonywlam.wixsite.com/alisonlam-fo...

I had the opportunity to present at the ICA-CCR Global Research Conference, held from July 8–11, 2025. My talk explored how the Global Greens confederation behaves like a political or hybrid cooperative. @lhaecomms.bsky.social @oiseuoft.bsky.social alisonywlam.wixsite.com/green-politi...

Earlier this July, I presented at the #SASE2025 conference. My presentation explored how the COP process functions not simply as a mechanism for policy coordination, but as a performance of meaning-making, where language, symbolism, and power intersect. alisonywlam.wixsite.com/green-politi...

The second paper I presented in Montréal was both within and outside my comfort zone, at the International Cooperative Alliance conference at HEC Montréal. My paper positioned the @theglobalgreens.bsky.social as a political cooperative using Jack Quarter's framework. @oiseuoft.bsky.social

I recently presented at the #SASE2025 Conference at the Palais des Congres de Montreal, one of two conferences I attended simultaneously in Montréal. The paper I presented was close to my heart, speaking to the failures of #COP29 through the lens of symbolic interactionism. @lhaecomms.bsky.social

I found myself once again immersed in discussions at the #CSA, this time within the Violence and Society Research Cluster. This presentation tackled displacement, exclusion, and environmental racism in urban spaces through a case study of Kowloon Walled City. alisonywlam.wixsite.com/green-politi...

At this year’s #FSSHC #Congress2025, I presented as part of the #ESRC. My paper explored the ways in which grassroots political environmental movements can influence global policy frameworks through cooperative, democratic engagement. alisonywlam.wixsite.com/green-politi...

Every year on July 1st, I find myself reflecting deeply on what it means to celebrate Canada Day. For many, it is a day of fireworks, barbecues, and national pride. For me, it becomes more complicated. alisonywlam.wixsite.com/alisonlam-fo...

I had a great time joining the @ontariogreens.bsky.social and @canadiangreens.bsky.social at #TorontoPride. The weather was beautiful and I had a fantastic time with amazing friends. I love being a #Green! #noroomforhate #Pride2025 #PrideTO

Dans notre tout premier épisode en français, @mj-yelle.bsky.social s'entretient avec Bisma Ansari, candidate de LaSalle-Émard-Verdun, au sujet de la violence fondée sur le genre lors des récentes élections fédérales. @canadiangreens.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5gPF...

Last night, I hosted a meeting with the Asian spa community of Richmond Hill, which is finding itself suddenly targeted by city bylaw officers without explanation or guidance. Our meeting was one of many steps we will be taking to ensure an equitable outcome free of discrimination. #rightsnotrescue

The official @canadiangreens.bsky.social #election platform just came out and I fell in love all over again. #cdnpoli #election2025

All the candidates made it to the RHBOT All Candidates Debate. It was a great opportunity to meet all the candidates, hear from the residents about what's important to them, and have meaningful conversations about local and federal issues. @canadiangreens.bsky.social #cdnpoli #election2025

It’s #GlobalGreensDay! 🌍💚 From local communities to global institutions, Greens are pushing for bold climate action, social justice, and grassroots democracy. Get involved. Take action. Be the change. 👉 globalgreens.org One movement. Four federations. 100+ parties. Millions of Greens. #GGDAY2025

Some supporters created and circulated this for me. I will do everything I can to deserve the effort and trust they've given me. @canadiangreens.bsky.social #cdnpoli

Transport accounts for 38% of carbon dioxide emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean. To tackle this, Island nations are leading a transportation revolution by replacing fossil-fuel transport with sustainable alternatives. www.unep.org/technical-hi...

Beautiful weather for the first day distributing rack cards around the riding. Thanks to everyone who came out today! Met a lot of interesting people who were happy to see the actual candidate. One of the perks of a small party, you get to know exactly who you're voting for! #cdnpoli #election2025

No words for how despicable this mindset is. I can't fathom having someone who believes this represent my country, never mind saying it out loud in a public forum. #cdnpoli

Is he aware that Canadians heading to the poll do not vote for and elect a Prime Minister? Cuz, if he is, then he's misleading the voters. Outside voters in Burnaby South, no one has the option of voting for him. That's why we currently have an unelected PM and he can't run to replace him. #cdnpoli

And the #environmental nightmare continues. He's not just waging #war against sovereign nations, he's waging war against the #planet. #biodiversity #climatechange

“As an American, I’m ashamed of the arrogance and disregard that we’ve shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies.” Bravo to @jessemarsch.bsky.social for bold & supportive words. A true American ally to #Canadians. www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/s...

Why is Susana Muhamad not a Green? @theglobalgreens.bsky.social @alianzaverde.bsky.social #COP16 #biodiversity www.climatechangenews.com/2025/02/10/c...

As the world burns, freezes, drowns, and suffocates, I question how the climate crisis can still be denied. #climatechange #environmentaljustice

After @unep.org #COP16 failed to conclude due to loss of quorum, it resumes today w/ concern that few Ministers will attend & many decisions are unresolved. Susana Muhamad is no longer #Environment Minister, but remains Chair. Will the necessary work be done? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Heartbreaking for Greens, but not unexpected. Now, let's see how the new Chancellor intends to form government.

Significant changes in the preliminary results of the German elections. As predicted, there was a huge shift to the far right. The German Greens didn't escape unscathed. #elections2025

Certainly a step in the right direction. Stronger interprovincial trade is just one of the things we should be doing to ensure that Canada is less reliant on trade with the US. But why haven't we been doing this all along? How did the government let us get here? #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Not so much luck getting signatures today, but I had a great time doorknocking with a dear friend. I'm sooooo close! Please #RichmondHill, help me get that last few to be on the ballot as the @canadiangreens.bsky.social candidate! #election2025 #cdnpoli

Snow up to my thighs this weekend meant doorknocking inside and campaign organizing with a hot drink. Even a heavy snowstorm can't stop @canadiangreens.bsky.social candidates from working! #cdnpoli #climatechange
