Hi Friend,

On Thursday, both the federal and the BC NDP dropped even the pretense of caring about climate action.

The “No-Discernible-Principles” party has reminded BC voters that it was the BC NDP who coined the slogan "Axe the Tax" nearly two decades before Pierre Poilievre. In fact, that anti-climate campaign backfired, and BC voters supported the carbon tax in 2009.

Now, federal leader Jagmeet Singh echoes Pierre Poilievre in a fact-free rant, promising a vague NDP climate policy… eventually.

Here are the key facts that Singh decided to ignore:

Leading economists and climate policy experts around the world praise revenue-neutral carbon emissions pricing as one of the most important, if not THE most important, tools to combat global warming.
BC has had this tool since 2008, and Canada adopted it in 2018. We know it works! So why would a so-called progressive party turn its back on a proven solution? It’s a backward-looking policy move that is clearly an attempt to pull back votes the NDP is losing to the Conservatives.
The NDP can now kiss any meaningful climate policy goodbye. It has been clear for years that Singh would not oppose pipelines or fracking for fear of offending provincial New Democrats.

Now it's clear: climate-concerned voters have only one party on the ballot, and it's Green.

Support your Green MPs who will hold the NDP accountable on this issue when Parliament resumes next week. Donate today.

With fierce determination,

Your Green Party of Canada

P.S. For background on carbon pricing, a new book by BC climate expert Tom Pedersen is highly recommended by our leader Elizabeth May.
