Canadians are a resilient, engaged and caring people. Together, nothing is impossible. We cannot risk being divided by those who seek political advantage through fear-based rhetoric.

When confronted with an overwhelming challenge, it is human nature to want to avoid thinking about it. We seem to be aware only of the threat – and not the opportunity. It is easier to ignore a looming threat, like the climate emergency, than to face up to the challenge.
