Where does your MP stand on a just recovery?:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has a recovery plan for the
country. But who is being consulted and listened to in shaping that
plan? Not you and me – billionaires and corporations are.

Tell your MP you want a just recovery, not a return to business as usual.

Corporate
forces are pushing for bailouts and privatization. Oil and gas prices
have plummeted, and fossil fuel companies have already received bailouts
and are asking for more. It’s clear that these bailouts are
not in the public interest as major investors like Deutsche Bank and the
UK pension fund, and even oil giants like Total and BP, are walking
away from oil and gas expansion.

It’s a sunsetting industry and it’s time to move on.  And it doesn’t end with the fossil fuel lobby.

Legislation to set five year climate targets highest priority this fall: Wilkinson: Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says he plans to move quickly
this fall to set legislated targets to cut Canada’s greenhouse gas
emissions that go even further than what has already been promised.

Wilkinson told The Canadian Press in an interview this week that
COVID-19 is a priority but that Canada cannot take its eye off the ball
when it comes to climate change.

“While COVID is certainly a threat to the health and safety of
Canadians and to our economic recovery, the crisis that is climate
change, if left unaddressed, will have impacts that are even more
significant than COVID-19,” he said.
