I want our federal government to re-energize by creating a just and sustainable energy policy for Canada. As a first step I want Canada to examine how domestic and international policies supporting the fossil fuel industry (such as subsidies and diplomatic interventions) contribute to ecological destruction, human rights abuses, and conflict around the world. I also support the creation of binding legislation holding Canadian energy companies operating overseas accountable for human rights and environmental abuses that occur on their watch.

It’s time to re-energize. I can do it, and I want our government to do more to reflect the wishes of Canadians that energy use harms neither people nor the environment.
