THE EDITOR,
As the planet speeds from a global
emergency to a global catastrophe,
radical, clear and targeted policies
on carbon pricing are mandatory.
In Huron-Bruce, we are faced with
the choice of five candidates, two
candidates on the right and three
candidates on the left.
Expert analysis of all the parties’
platforms show that none, with the
possible exception of the Green
Party, are destined to meet Canada’s
targets as agreed to by Canada by
signing the Paris Accord.
On the right side of the political
spectrum, one party denies action is
necessary; the other party’s policies
have been assessed as being vague,
lacking in targets and highly
unlikely to be effective. On the left
side of the political spectrum, all
three parties have more clearly
defined plans and targeted policies.
In Canada, over 800,000 students
and their supporters went on strike
on Friday, Sept. 27, demanding that
our political leaders acknowledge
the climate emergency and take
immediate effective steps to prevent
the present climate emergency
progressing to a climate catastrophe.
On Oct. 21, voters should respond
to the angst and lack of hope that
was expressed by the millions of
children in Canada and throughout
the world going on strike. Parents,
grandparents and all concerned
citizens should choose the party
most likely to prevent this
environmental catastrophe. Time is
not on our side. The United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change has clearly stated, based on
extensive science-based evidence,
that we have only 11 years left to
make major changes before the
relentless, irreversible, tipping point
of climate stability is reached.
On Oct. 21, let us vote in favour of
the future wellbeing of our children
and our grandchildren, for they are
depending on us.
