People power has been winning victories for the climate across Canada throughout the difficult Harper decade. With a change of government, we now have the opportunity to make much greater strides of progress in our organising. Shell recently cancelled its plans to drill for oil in the Alaskan arctic and President Obama announced that he has canceled future Arctic drilling leases, creating a unique opportunity for Trudeau to do the same for the Canadian Arctic. By mobilising together, we can build a country that champions climate action, strong democracy, and respect for human rights.
