When it comes to global warming, most people are far ahead of their politicians and business leaders. To ensure a healthy Canada for future generations, families like yours are ready to move from a polluting economy to a sustainable one now.
Science tells us that unchecked greenhouse gas emissions invite catastrophe—vanishing polar ice caps, rising sea levels, altered agriculture, massive deforestation, species extinctions, virulent diseases, extreme weather events, economic hardship. Faced with this conclusive evidence, successive Prime Ministers promised you and your family that they would act—but kept pandering to big polluters instead.After years of Liberal failure, Stephen Harper abandoned Canada’s obligations under the Kyoto climate change treaty. Then he worked with George Bush to block consensus on post-Kyoto commitments. And his own “clean air” legislation would have given his friends in big oil another unlimited license to pollute.
It’s time for a Prime Minister who will take on big polluters, meet real targets and invest in sustainable solutions. It’s time for a Prime Minister with a record of environmental achievement who will tackle climate change and seize the opportunities of the new energy economy.
Jack Layton will be that Prime Minister.
Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done!
