Leaders are being scored on whether they are committing to stronger laws to fight global warming. Bingo scores are being given to new investments in clean energy, public transit, carbon sequestration; matching leading vehicle and building standards; and whether they will drop the phoney debate between green taxes and cap and trade systems.
Last week PowerUP Canada sent a letter sent to all five party leaders asking them to respond to six critical climate questions that will enable Canadians to clarify who has the strongest commitment to addressing global warming. PowerUP Canada will be releasing their responses next week.
PowerUP Canada is a new national citizens initiative that has a positive new vision for Canada, and provides Canadians non-partisan information about global warming and a common campaign to amplify citizens’ voices, clarify federal parties’ and candidates’ climate positions, host public events and build an online networking community. Encourage your friends and family to join PowerUP Canada.
