🧵 It's said that a politician only has 2 jobs:
1) Get elected
2) Get reelected
They need your vote like you & I need oxygen. That's our POWER & nowhere are we stronger than at the municipal or city level. It just so happens that at the city level is also where #ClimateAction is most viable. #yyc #yyccc #abpoli
To see real impact happen before your very eyes you just can't beat city-level #ClimateAction. It's why #CalgaryClimateHub does exactly what we do & it's why engaging with your mayor & city councillors is so critical at election times, budget sessions or any time you've got something to say. /2
An Ontario judge has ruled that Premier Doug Ford’s plan to remove 19 kilometres of protected bike lanes around Toronto is unconstitutional and would not reduce traffic congestion. The Ford government said it will appeal.
When they come knocking at YOUR door, consider asking the following:
1) Does the candidate understand #ClimateChange is real & caused largely by #FossilFuels?
2) Do they understand cities like ours are one of the prime locations to fight #ClimateChange
&
3) What are they going to do about it? /6
The backers of carbon capture and storage have lied to us before. Will we believe them this time?
And finally, I have the privilege of fighting #ClimateChange every single day with #CalgaryClimateHub. We can use every bit of support we can get. It's not getting any easier but we'll NEVER stop.
