Did you know that:
- Through tax breaks, direct funding, and loans, Canada's government subsidizes fossil fuel production and consumption?
- Canada spent $29.6 billion on fossil fuel subsidies in 2024?
- While he was campaigning, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to end fossil fuel subsidies?
These actions are moving Canada in the complete wrong direction on climate. That's why in partnership with the Eastern Synod and during Give it up for the Earth!, CPJ's Lenten campaign (February 18-April 2), we are calling cabinet ministers en masse to say: end fossil fuel subsidies in Canada!
Calling a cabinet minister is one of the most direct ways to have your voice heard, and when enough people call about the same issue and the chorus of voices becomes palpable, change becomes imminent. Together, letโs ensure Canadian public policy prioritizes the needs of ordinary Canadians and all Creation instead of the interests of fossil fuel companies!
