Demand Better

Keeping Pierre out of office isn’t enough. As Carney’s popularity soars, so does the fossil fuel industry’s lobbying against climate action and for new pipelines. We have to fight back. This election is an opportunity to push Carney and all federal leaders to make firm commitments that we can hold them accountable to after they take office.

Protect People not Corporations: Deliver a Green New Deal for a Resilient Canada

Canada’s political parties are gearing up for the next election—let’s demand bold action for a fairer future.

While billionaires and Big Oil rake in record profits, everyday people are are left behind.

By taxing billionaires, Big Oil, and Canada’s richest corporations, we can generate billions for our families and communities.

It’s time to prioritize people over profits.

Dear Federal Party Leaders,

Mega corporations and billionaires are hoarding wealth, exploiting workers, and harming our climate for their profits. They profit, we pay. Among them, the fossil fuel industry, is raking in obscene profits while destroying our planet and future. Now, the looming trade war with the U.S. makes our reliance on corporations, especially the oil and gas sector, a ticking time bomb.

All of us are fed up with this rollercoaster ride. It’s time to take our future into our own hands with a Green New Deal that ensures everyones basic needs are met, strengthens local economies, follows Indigenous leadership, and reduces our exposure to both fossil fuel volatility and U.S. economic bullying. If we tax billionaires and Canada’s largest, price-gouging corporations, we can fund a future that works for all of us.

I invite you to read the stories of everyday Canadians who are struggling under the weight of multiple overlapping crises at allofustogether.ca/fedup.

And stand up to protect people, not corporations and deliver a Green New Deal for a Resilient Canada.
