I feel outraged that PM Trudeau, after winning the 2015 election on a platform of Real Change, continues to place a Fossil Fuel noose around Canada's future, economically and socially. True environmental leaders ensure that our energy strategy leads us away from dirty nuclear and fossil fuels towards 100% renewables. I ask you and your government to do what the Federal government chose not to do as it approved an LNG project, construction of an unwanted/unnecessary Site C dam and expanded pipeline projects.

I offer the following links as to why it is imperative now to make the necessary changes:

I offer the following links to show that organizations and foundations have decided against Fossil Fuel by divesting from fossil fuel assets. What do they know that my Federal government refuses to acknowledge?:

Simon Fraser University in BC recently announced they will be part of the current divestment movement.

This is happening in Canada right now to point the way to a new, improved, retrained future:

As Canada chooses last century energy options, nations and groups around the world are moving forward with a sustainable future:

PM Trudeau's decisions ensure that Canada will not be a leader in the 21st century. You can make different decisions. Ontario can be a climate leader with a sustainable renewable energy future. Lead the way now.
