Nature can't afford the banker
Protecting nature and climate is best for our economy, but because of the Build Canada Act and the Major Projects Office, federal dollars and resources are being funneled to destructive projects without environmental assessments or Indigenous consultation. Write your letter, and remember not to leave it blank!
Protecting nature is great for the economy
Prime Minister Carney’s latest policies signal a retreat on climate and biodiversity protections, falsely in the name of economic growth and affordability.
Yet Carney’s colleagues at the World Economic Forum just published their Annual Global Risks Report, which again says the biggest economic threats in the next 10 years are biodiversity loss and climate change. He knows better.
There’s no longer an economic argument for abandoning nature. Send a message to Ottawa: protecting nature means protecting Canada’s future.
Your letter will be sent to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Minister for Environment and Climate Change Julie Dabrusin, Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre, acting leader of the NDP Don Davies, and your MP.

- The federal government must remove the Impact Assessment exemption from the Build Canada Act.
- Canada should establish a climate test that examines cumulative and downstream emissions for every Major Project and Impact Assessment, relating to our international emissions reduction commitments.
