Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• The federal government’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith delivers on the wishlist of the oil and gas lobby and represents the final nail in the coffin for Canada’s climate policy;
• The MOU was signed in violation of the government’s duty to obtain the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples, the Constitution Act of 1982, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
• This MOU fast-tracks another environmentally destructive oil pipeline and threatens the health and wellbeing of folks across Canada who are already experiencing the consequences of the fossil fuel driven climate emergency;
• Each summer, we’ve witnessed increasingly devastating wildfire seasons generating more and more climate refugees, particularly from Indigenous communities;
• Climate-related hospitalizations are straining public health facilities, while climate anxiety is rising due to our government’s failure to act urgently to save our planet;
• With this MOU, the government is choosing to roll back key environmental regulations and to subsidize the same Big Oil billionaires profiting off the climate emergency; and
• The government should make a deal that serves the people, not the interests of fossil fuel billionaires.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to stop fast-tracking environmentally catastrophic fossil fuel projects, protect the health and wellbeing of all those impacted by climate change, and invest in a worker, community and Indigenous-led green energy transition that benefits everyone in Canada.
