Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• Canadians are concerned about the changing climate and the resulting droughts, wildfires and floods caused by a warming planet;
• The federal government is not addressing the climate crisis in ways that will fundamentally prevent further greenhouse gas emissions;
• It is necessary to break through this climate silence with clear, honest, and consistent public communication grounded in science and lived experience;
• Recognition and honouring of Indigenous stewardship of land and water are essential to our future;
• It is critical to eliminate the self-interest that supports the fossil fuel industries with subsidies, thereby delaying the clean energy transition;
• It is fundamental that we break through the climate silence by showing that climate-friendly solutions are cheaper, more efficient and can benefit every Canadian;
• Tripling Canada’s investment in renewable and clean energy and building a broad electrical grid is a critical nation-building project; and
• True leadership is overdue regarding the climate crisis, because later is too late.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to honour and ensure Canada’s 2030 and 2035 emissions targets and strengthen the policies that make them achievable for the love of our children and grandchildren.
