Voluntary measures for polluters will never measure up: we need rules that reduce pollution.
The climate is changing faster than Canada’s infrastructure—ignoring it is not fiscally responsible
Extreme weather is already reshaping our economy, destabilizing our energy supply, weakening our ecosystems, and testing our infrastructure.

An alternative vision is not only possible but necessary to secure Canada’s economic future.
Some ‘positives’ in the climate crisis
All of this comes down to that 1980s oil filter commercial that concluded with ‘you can pay me now or pay me later.’ That same logic applies to mitigation of climate change to protect future generations.

Climate collaboration with China serves Canada’s national interests
Canada and China share a stake in mitigating climate change, and leveraging each other’s strengths can lead to faster progress.
Ottawa’s LNG detour risks Carney’s climate credibility
Building more liquefied natural gas infrastructure is knowingly locking in high-emissions infrastructure at a time when we’re at risk of meeting globally agreed climate goals.
