Below are comments posted on the earlier, election-time, Contact Us, Get Involved page.
F. David Rounthwaite (5 May 2011): I was so impressed when the Green signs on my house at Carlton and Sackville were removed so promptly after the election – before dawn on the 3rd. An elegant, thoughtful and professional conclusion to a very creditable campaign.

Allan Penning (1 May 2011): Dear Ellen, Just a quick note to let you know I will be voting for you tomorrow. You were one of the few to contact us through the entire election so I appreciate the effort to reach out and include us in our riding. I am sorry we were not aware of any candidates meetings but I hope in future we will be notified. Wishing you luck at the polls tomorrow.

Anton Kuerti (1 October 2008): I have already voted for you, and wish you the best of luck. Actually, I think the Liberal green tax proposal is a step in the right direction…
I am recommending http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/. This website analyzes each riding and estimates which candidate has the best prospect of defeating the Tories, whose environmental record is beyond appaling. (Not to mention their disdain for the arts….) It is tragic that the Liberals, NDP, Greens, CAP, Council of Canadians and the Bloc cannot cooperate to stop the obscenity of some 39% of the voting populace prevailing over the true majority represented by the rest of us.
Perhaps this website can help force a reluctant coalition of the many who would like to see meaningful action on the environment and so many other crucial issues.
