1/5 I’M SO TIRED (a thread)

@JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @JonathanWNV - I’m sure you’re tired, too. It’s been a hard year. I believe you care about climate change. But your good intentions aren’t going to cut it. We don’t have decades. We need transformative action NOW #cdnpoli https://twitter.com/cbcearlyedition/status/1305953529102827520">https://twitter.com/cbcearlye...

2/5 Your government consistently talks of ambitious #ClimateAction https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, and then invariably you seem to get spooked and run away from yourselves. What are you afraid of? https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/09/15/opinion/trudeau-liberals-shouldnt-shelve-100-billion-climate-plan">https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/09/1... @NatObserver

3/5 Canadians want bold, visionary action. No #thronespeech has been as highly anticipated as the one you’ll deliver on Sept. 23, @JustinTrudeau. COVID-19 has exposed how truly lethal the status quo is. Business as usual is killing people and the planet. https://twitter.com/broadbent/status/1305864501187805184">https://twitter.com/broadbent...

4/5 The Pan-Canadian Framework and national carbon pricing are historic, essential actions. But they’re not enough and they’re undermined by relentless investment in the fossil fuel economy. You may feel that’s unfair, politically - but it’s reality. https://globalnews.ca/news/7183008/canada-fossil-fuels-aid-coronavirus/">https://globalnews.ca/news/7183...

5/5 This pandemic has shown us what it looks like for your government to act in an emergency, @cafreeland.

The #ClimateCrisis is an emergency. It is a health emergency. It is a social justice emergency. We need you to act like we’re in an emergency. https://climateactionnetwork.ca/2020/09/13/organizations-ask-for-climate-action-in-throne-speech-les-organisations-demandent-de-laction-climatique-dans-le-discours-du-trone/">https://climateactionnetwork.ca/2020/09/1...
