CHIP IN: Help get Green New Deal policies in the throne speech
An explosive new report just revealed that greenhouse gases reached a historic high last year. [1]
Canada isn’t even on track to meet Harper’s weak emissions targets brought in when he slashed our environmental protections. We’re on a path to failure. [2]
But on December 5th, Trudeau will stand in front of the country and put forward an agenda for what could potentially be the next four years of government, in his speech to the throne. It’s a crucial moment of influence that determines where money will flow and what Ministers will focus on.
Will he prioritize bold climate action like a Green New Deal? Or continue with the status-quo climate policies of the past?
If Green New Deal policies aren’t at the centre of the government’s agenda, it’s going to be a steep uphill battle to turn things around and avert the worst of climate catastrophe.
This week is our last chance to influence the throne speech, so we need to need to ramp up the pressure while Trudeau is putting the final touches to his priorities -- and remind this government that Canadians voted for bold action on climate and expect them to deliver.
Here’s the plan: If we raise $5,000 by 5pm on Wednesday we’ll bombard Parliament with hard-hitting digital climate ads that every MP and Minister will see. If we raise $10,000 we’ll blow up those ads into a massive bus shelter ad right outside Trudeau’s office. And if we raise $15,000, we’ll post an ad in the Hill Times -- the Ottawa news outlet that’s read by every member of parliament.
Will you chip in what you can for an ad blitz to get ambitious climate action -- in line with a Green New Deal -- on the agenda in time for the throne speech next week?
