The climate catastrophe is at our doorstep, and inequality is skyrocketing. That's why we need courageous leaders in Parliament who are willing to tackle these issues with the emergency-level action required.

We have the resources to make it happen, but so far, governments have failed to do what is necessary. We're just missing the political will. That's why we must elect leaders who are willing to tackle climate and inequality side by side, and do what is necessary and right to chart a path towards a safe and just future.

It’s crucial that everyone votes! Who we send to Ottawa on Sept. 20 will shape the future of our country for years to come.

So we have a choice to make: will we send courageous leaders to parliament to build a resilient, just, and safe future for us all, or will we lock ourselves into years of climate disaster and soaring inequality?
