URGENT: we only have a few hours left to convince the federal government to scrap subsidies to fossil fuel companies.
Right now the government’s planning how to spend money to tackle the climate emergency. They want to hear from everyday people across Canada -- but we only have until midnight to have a say. [1]
Every year, Canada gives $3.3 billion in handouts to the coal, oil and gas companies that caused the climate crisis. [2]
This could be our only chance to convince the government to redirect your tax dollars towards green energy; sustainable and inclusive housing; clean water; and the protection of life from coast to coast to coast.

UPDATE: We submitted a budget reccomendation on Friday, August 2nd, 2019. Thank you for your support.

We’re in a climate emergency. The government needs to act now and stop giving away billions in handouts to coal, oil, and gas companies to produce and pollute more. Instead, we need to divert taxpayer money towards good and dignified work in green energy; sustainable and inclusive housing; clean water; and the protection of life from coast to coast to coast.
Leadnow is sustained by thousands of small, individual donations from across the country. Can you chip in to help ramp up our hard-hitting campaign to end fossil fuel subsidies?
