We call on the federal government to stop destroying necessary environmental protections in the name of economic progress. History has shown us it never works: not only do the benefits not reach communities; Indigenous communities feel the brunt of the impact, environmental disasters are more likely, the public ends up paying for the cleanup, and the climate and environment are left with devastating scars.
We call on you to:
- Respect Indigenous Title and Rights, and center Indigenous-led solutions
- Vote no on the Bulldozing Nature Bill
- Use public funds to grow the clean energy economy instead of subsidizing profitable and polluting oil companies
- Protect nature, including endangered species like the Southern Resident Killer Whales
- Make sure Canada has a real plan to tackle climate change that starts with regulating and taxing the heaviest polluters
- Protect workers' rights, including the right to strike, and prioritize the creation of good jobs and training programs as we transition to a sustainable energy economy
