July 31, 2024 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, The Honourable Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Official Opposition, The Honourable Jagmeet Singh, Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, The Honourable Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada, The Honourable Yves-François Blanchet, Leader of the Bloc Québécois, The Honourable David Eby, Premier of Britis. [...] Our hearts go out to the people of Jasper and all of the communities and Indigenous Nations facing evacuation, the loss of their homes, businesses and traditional lands. [...] To the leaders of governments in Canada, we have a different message: how many more of our communities need to burn before our leaders act with the urgency required? In order to stem wildfires, and other increasingly severe weather events, while protecting Canadians, the only way is through decisive action on climate change. [...] We ask our federal and provincial governments and all-party leaders to stop playing politics with our health and safety and take urgent action to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for the devastation it causes and end our collective dependence on fossil fuels, while supporting workers and communities and ensuring social dialogue through this transition. [...] What’s needed is meaningful cooperation across jurisdictions to regulate and cap the industry's climate pollution; ending the flow of private and public funds to oil and gas; redirecting them to affected communities and those currently dependent on fossil revenue; and regulating the financial institutions bankrolling fossil fuel projects.
