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. If we are divided as a people, we may lose the greatest opportunity ever before any society for our economy, our health and progress.

This is a pivotal point in history…

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.

The problem is that we cannot pretend the climate threat away. And by ignoring it, we only drive a deep sense of concern deeper below the surface. It makes us worried and anxious.
