People and planet, NOT polluter profits!
Hold the oil and gas sector accountable for its role in the climate crisis
For far too long, the oil and gas sector has operated unchecked in Canada, causing profound and sometimes irreversible harm to our health, communities, environment, biodiversity and climate. By using deceit, greenwashing and powerful lobbying, they’ve fooled too many people into believing their products are safe and essential and that switching to renewables would ruin the economy. These are blatant lies! We can achieve happier, healthier, more affordable and safer lives by shifting away from oil and gas.
Join us in saying “enough is enough” and help put an end to the industry running roughshod over the government, doing what it pleases, lying about it and making excessive profits while everyday citizens bear the risk, costs and impacts.
More specifically, ask the federal government to:
- Put an end to fossil fuel subsidies and financing and redirect those funds to renewable energy and energy-efficiency initiatives.
- Limit the amount of greenhouse gases the oil and gas sector can emit.
- Ban all fossil fuel advertising to stop the spread of disinformation.
- Tax the oil and gas industry’s excessive profits to help fund the energy transition and respond to skyrocketing damages incurred by extreme weather events.
- Finalize clean electricity regulations to get fossil fuels off the grid by 2035.
- Crack down on preventable releases of a potent climate pollutant from oil and gas operations by strengthening Canada’s methane regulations.
