Every weekend, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May sends out a “Good Sunday Morning!” email to her constituents and supporters. I am not a Green voter, mostly because I disagree with the party on immigration, and social and cultural issues. I do, however, find this to be an admirable way to connect with the public, which
