Tax Fossil Fuel Companies to Fund Sustainable Jobs
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, green jobs and a just transition.
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 domestic carbon pollution cap will push fossil fuel companies to reduce their emissions and drive the transition toward a cleaner economy. Internationally, Canada should join the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
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.
