�Ӱ�ԭ�� Climate Commons is supporting 350 Canada’s CANADA IS BURNING Day of Action on June 28th. Communities across Canada are demanding an immediate end to fossil fuel subsidies and a just transition to 100% renewable energy.

We know why fires are raging and the air is unbreathable. It’s time for our federal leaders to stop fuelling the flames of climate chaos. That’s why we’re rising up to demand that our federal leaders:
1. Stop the fossil fuel industry: an immediate end to subsidies, hard caps for oil and gas emissions, no new projects, and no more industry influence over our politics.
2. Enact a just transition: urgently shift us to 100% renewable energy while generating millions of unionized jobs, following indigenous leadership, and rapidly decarbonizing in line with climate science.

There will be two demonstrations in Ottawa:

Orléans at 10:30 am
255 Centrum Blvd
Outside the riding office of MP Marie-France Lalonde.

Ottawa-Vanier at 2:00 pm
233 Montréal Road
Outside the riding office of Hon MP Mona Fortier, also President of the Treasury Board.
