Failing to do enough to reduce climate change discriminates against younger Canadians and future generations, since they will bear the lion’s share of climate risks and costs

The more we succeed in fighting the financial pressures created by inflation in these ways, the better we position ourselves to deal with the costs of reducing carbon emissions, and pro-actively adapting to the curve balls climate change keeps throwing.

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is therefore on shaky ground when he courts future votes for the job of PM by promising to scrap the federal price on carbon pollution. So is Alberta Premier Danielle Smith when she threatens a constitutional crisis to evade the Supreme Court decision that found in favour of the carbon levy. As was Ontario Premier Doug Ford when he wooed voters in his campaign for re-election on a promise to reduce Ontario’s gas tax.

All three leaders imply they don’t want the fight against climate change to hurt parents as they taxi their kids around. Nor do I, which is why I founded– an organization devoted to releasing the Vise-Grip of money pressures facing younger Canadians. Skeptics of climate science too often misinterpret environmental risks as a revolver empty of most bullets. Spin the cylinder, pull the trigger, and the odds are that no one will be immediately harmed. But you won’t find many parents lining up to play Russian roulette with their kids.Hurricane Fiona showed why climate change threatens to swamp our coastal cities. The heat dome in B.C. and tragic fires in Fort McMurray, Alta., reveal that climate change threatens to burn our forests and towns.
