Pants Down – More Ashamed of Canada’s Climate Action Plan
December 1st, 2009
A recent poll reports that 75% of Canadians are embarrassed by our government’s stance on climate change. Therefore, today, one week before the start of the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen Canadian, citizens lined up in front of Parliament with their pants down and the message that they are more ashamed of Canada’s climate action plan.
“Minister Prentice recently stated that the government climate regulations are years away, leaving us way behind the rest of the world in the creation of a green economy,†says Natasha Peters, a member of the Canadian Youth Delegation to Copenhagen’s Home Team. “A private members bill passed Tuesday calling for Canada to advocate for targets of 25% under 1990 levels by 2020 for all industrialized nations and supporting developing countries in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and adapt to climate change. It’s time for the government needs to listen to parliamentary will and lead Canada to be part of a progressive deal in Copenhagen.â€
This action is part of the “It’s Time to Listen Campaign†and is in solidarity with actions known as “Climate Crew Mondays†that are taking place all across the country to call for action on climate change.
