Dear Premier Wynne:

 

Please be fearless in your support of a fossil-free environment and all the small steps that are required to get there.  Canadians can be called upon to take action at the cost of their own limited convenience and expense.

 

I lived during WWII when all Canadians were involved in rationing of foods.  We were all to have our own "Victory Garden" for the growing of fresh food.  My Father had to go to Ottawa for his Company as all Construction Companies had to have an Office in Ottawa and jobs across the country were assigned to them.  The Country was mobilized because of the threat of War.  It was inconvenient but well worth the cost!

 

The threat of disastrous effects of Climate Change are beginning to happen and will threaten our people and our land even more.  Thank you for what you are doing but I want to encourage you to take on all that is needed.  Particularly divestment from fossil fuels and the re-education of people from such industries to train for employment in fossil-free industries.  Wind, solar and other forms of energy production will be more economical in the long run and give more employment than such things as the tar sands.

 

Most Canadians who are aware will applaud any action that you take in this regard.

 

Thank you
