We are living at a critical moment in human history. Thousands of Canadians have called for a just recovery, a healthy recovery.
But since the beginning of COVID19 Canada has spent $12 billion supporting fossil fuel energy, and only 1.6 billion supporting clean energy. I need your help to push for a healthy recovery now–and to help me get to Ottawa as Green Party leader.
Together, we can turn tragedy into transformation: I helped to author the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment’s recent report, which showed that a #HealthyRecovery that meets our 2050 net zero goal will save 112,000 lives and create 1.3 million clean tech jobs.
In 2017 I was honoured to represent the voice of health at the launch of the Canada and UK-Sponsored Powering Past Coal Alliance at COP23. It was a proud day.
And now, the Vista Coal mine is being allowed to expand without even an impact assessment.
This is not OK.
My team is working hard on real-time advocacy via our webinar series, but we need funds to help us prepare compelling materials–your support is very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dr Courtney Howard
