On June 28th hundreds of people across the country joined together in the Canada is Burning Day of Action. People rallied in front of MP offices all over Canada to demand climate justice. The event was particularly meaningful as portions of the country remain blanketed by smoke and fires rage at rates that are unprecedented for this time of year. Those who rallied were calling on the federal government to stop the fossil fuel industry, meaning no more subsidies, no new projects, and no more industry influence over our politics, and to enact a just transition by urgently shifting us to 100 per cent renewables while generating millions of unionized jobs, following Indigenous leadership, and aligning with climate science.
