The ongoing fires in Los Angeles have moved us to speak out. They are the latest in a string of tragedies worldwide amplified by climate change. We’ve seen deadly heatwaves in Asia and Europe, droughts in Africa and Central America, flooding in North Carolina and here at home in Toronto – and all within the last year! We watch in horror as the United States is poised to inaugurate president-elect Trump, who seems unprepared to take any action on the Climate Crisis – and in fact, may make it worse.
As we watch these disasters unfold, we have to ask, “where is our climate leadership?”
The Ford government has been cutting back forest firefighting budgets and crews since 2018.
The federal government implemented carbon rebates but has never stopped subsidizing fossil fuels. Poilievre threatens to cut carbon rebates and has no climate plan. We are facing two elections where the anti-climate parties are in the lead. We're going in the wrong direction!
Our future is on fire. We must stand up for climate justice NOW.
