Under the current “first past the post” system, we have little hope of electing anyone to Parliament. In addition, we do not have candidates in every riding because we do not have the resources. Our primary goal has not been to win seats. Our primary goal is to hold politicians and political parties accountable for their environmental and animal protection policies. The only way we can truly do that is by becoming directly involved during elections, raising animal and environmental protection issues with all the candidates, and supporting those candidates with good environmental and animal protection records.
