Reduce fossil fuels for children’s future
Subsidizing the fossil fuel industry undermines actions being taken to fight climate change, including the many initiatives supported in this budget.
It’s time to put an end to fossil fuel subsidies once and for all.
We can build a clean economy that will create long-term jobs throughout the country, reduce extreme weather events, improve human health and reduce boom-and-bust cycles in the energy sector that are causing some regions of the country to suffer.
Canada is fortunate to have many sources of renewable power (wind, solar, geothermal, etc.) and has the tools, technology, ideas, innovation and policies to accomplish the emission targets we’ve set to hold global temperature rise to a maximum of 2 C.
Sincerely for our children’s future
