Green Party leader Elizabeth May is calling for urgent cross-party collaboration to save several pieces of legislation following the prorogation of Parliament, including portions of Bill C-63.

This bill, branded as an effort to combat "online harms" curtails free speech and expands government control over online content.

May emphasized the need to advance its measures, stating, "I hope all leaders will agree that the work done on key bills must not go to waste."

"From addressing critical issues like ensuring clean drinking water on First Nations reserves, ending the export of thermal coal and tackling ecological damage from marine shipments in Bill C-33, to fixing long-standing injustices for Lost Canadians in Bill C-71, and advancing portions of Bill C-63 to remove images shared without consent from websites, these are matters with broad support. We must also move forward on the Conservative Senator Fabian Manning's bill addressing intimate partner violence, among others. These are pressing issues that demand collaborative action."

May's plea comes just days after an unhinged rant targeting President-elect Trump's teasing about making Canada the 51st state. 

Prime Minister Trudeau prorogued Parliament on Monday after he announced his intention to resign as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, buying time for the Liberals to find a new leader before being forced to fight a losing election campaign against the Pierre Poilievre Conservatives.  

Parliament's prorogation results in proposed legislation dying before being passed.

Justin Trudeau is gone — but Canadians never voted for his replacement. The Liberal Party has installed unelected banker Mark Carney as Prime Minister. Why should Canadians accept another leader without a mandate? It’s time for a federal election now — not when it’s convenient for the Liberals. Sign the petition and demand that Mark Carney call an election immediately!

Will you sign?

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney wasn’t elected — he was installed by the global elites. And now that he’s in charge, they think they’ve won. But not if we have anything to say about it. While the bought-and-paid-for media slobber over their new golden boy, we’re hitting the streets, digging into his World Economic Forum playbook, and calling out the radical agenda they’re trying to ram down Canada’s throat. This is the fight of our lives — and we’re not backing down. Help us keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. Pitch in now if you want to stop Mark Carney before he does irreversible damage.

    Elizabeth May is a hag fish. Greenism impoverishes the world and is anti-human. And maybe we should swap our leftist provinces for their conservative states. :-)
