Wildfires Are Getting Worse and The Fossil Fuel Industry Is to Blame

It’s time to hold Canada’s fossil fuel industry accountable and to make climate action a policy priority.

Here’s What Has to Happen Next

Tax Fossil Fuel Companies

Fossil fuel companies rake in billions in profits, while Canadians pay the price. It’s time to implement a windfall profits tax to help fund real climate solutions.

Prohibit Fossil Fuel Advertising

Fossil fuel companies spend millions on advertising designed to misrepresent and mislead. Banning these ads will prevent the spread of misinformation and force the industry to come clean.

Institute a Carbon Pollution Cap

Instituting a carbon pollution cap will push fossil fuel companies to reduce their emissions and drive the transition toward a cleaner economy.

Sue Fossil Fuel Companies for Damages

Fossil fuel companies have profited from environmental destruction while leaving communities to bear the consequences. It's time for them to pay for the damage they’ve caused.

Institute a Youth Climate Corps

A Youth Climate Corps will empower young Canadians to lead the fight against climate disasters by building green infrastructure alternatives and strengthening community resilience.

About the Climate Emergency Unit

The overarching goal of the Climate Emergency Unit is to press for the implementation of wartime-scale policies in Canada to confront the climate crisis.

Despite decades of calls to action, our emissions are not on a path to stave off a horrific future for our children and future generations. A new approach is needed.
