More than 13 million hectares of land have burned across Canada. And we’re barely halfway through wildfire season. My heart breaks to think of the devastation these fires have caused for people across the country.
People from coast to coast to coast have felt the impact. We’ve been breathing in toxic wildfire smoke, thousands have been evacuated from their communities, and four firefighters have lost their lives fighting these flames.
The fossil fuel industry is to blame for the unthinkable tragedies caused by climate disasters in Canada and around the world.
Enough is enough. We have to act now to ensure our political leaders stop subsidizing polluters and letting these dangerous companies slow action on the climate emergency. Most importantly, we need to make polluters pay off their debt to people hit hardest by climate disasters.
