A report from Environmental Defence reveals that the federal government dropped close to $18 billion in subsidies and other forms of financial support on the fossil fuel industry last year — this despite the federal Liberals’ public commitments to move the country to a post-carbon economy.
Securing a safer climate future means saying no to more fossil fuel extraction and export. And it definitely means investing in climate solutions instead of using public dollars to prop up projects that will only further fuel global climate chaos.
The fossil fuel industry and their political allies have worked hard to convince us that more extraction and exports are inevitable and essential for our economy. But we know that’s simply not true.
Transitioning to a clean energy economy can both include and benefit everyone. We can clean up pollution, create quality jobs, help end historic injustices, and help our communities thrive.
Your continued support will continue to play an important role in realizing this vision of a climate-safe future for everyone in Canada. Thank you for standing with us.
