Green Party leader Elizabeth May stopped in Winnipeg today as part of a cross-Canada book signing tour for her new memoir.

People packed the room at McNally Robinson Booksellers to listen to May read from the book, Who We Are: Reflections on my life and Canada.

In the book, May writes about her personal and political lives, recounts her days as a environmentalist, lawyer, and as leader of the green party.

She says she wrote the book to help keep Canadians aware of what's happening with the Prime Minister’s Office and politics at the federal level.

"I don't believe, right now, that most Canadians know the extent we are not leading, to the extent we have quit cold," she said.

May says the book provides an update on Statistics Canada, immigration policy and criminal justice.

May was scheduled to give a second talk on the book Sunday evening at 7 p.m. at the Fort Garry Hotel.
