Our world is on fire.
This year the world experienced the hottest day on record. Over 1,600 wildfires have burned a million hectares in BC. Families have lost their homes. Thousands were evacuated or were on evacuation alert. The wildfire that burned a third of Jasper to the ground in July is only now under control.
Yet our governments keep approving permits for destructive new fossil fuel infrastructure that will lock in climate pollution for decades.
Enough is enough. Will you stand with me this weekend to send a flaming message to all levels of government? We're calling to cancel the permits for Woodfibre LNG and FortisBC's fracked gas pipeline, and end the subsidies and tax breaks.
With the provincial election approaching, now is the time to put our candidates in the hot seat. Woodfibre LNG isn't built yet. Don't let them build it. Cancel the permits.
The science could not be clearer that we cannot build new fossil fuel infrastructure if we want a livable planet for future generations. We must stop fossil fuel expansion.
