It’s been more than 460 days since Justin Trudeau declared a climate emergency one day, and then approved the Trans Mountain pipeline the next day. In that time, we’ve seen no new action on climate change, and watched as this government has committed more and more money to the Trans Mountain pipeline, a project that makes it impossible for Canada to meet our climate commitments.
We’re in the midst of two crises, a pandemic and the climate crisis, and we can’t afford to hand money over to pipelines when people need it. It’s time to defund Trans Mountain and put that money to a made-in-Canada Green New Deal that creates millions of good jobs, meets the climate crisis, and supports every single community in Canada.
