Make sure Budget 2025 puts people and planet over profit

Prioritize people and planet, not profits in Budget 2025

The new Liberal government’s first budget just dropped — and it’s a dream for corporate oligarchs and MAGA oil execs, and a disaster for the rest of us.

We have a small window of opportunity to change that. Prime Minister Carney needs opposition votes to pass his budget — and that gives us leverage. Let’s use it and get our demands on the table.

The first step is for us to sign a petition calling on the major party leaders to demand a budget that puts people and planet first. Add your name now.

This is the petition text to decision makers:

Make sure Budget 2025 prioritizes people and planet, not profits, in your negotiations with the federal government, by:

  • Ensuring mega oil and gas companies rein in their polluting emissions: retain the emissions cap
  • Repealing the “superdeduction” corporate tax cuts. Corporations and oligarchs shouldn’t get tax cuts while the rest of us sacrifice.
  • Eliminating handouts for magical carbon capture and MAGA fracked gas projects. No public money into planet-killing, dead-end industries.
