An Open Letter From Canada’s Muncipal Mayors & Councillors To Federal Leaders For Action On Climate Crisis 8:33 AM (11 hours ago)

(A Note from Niagara At Large – To This Date & Time, April 15th, 2025 At 12:15 P.M., St. Catharines Regional Councillor Haley Bateman is the only elected representative  in all of Niagara to join more than 170 municipal representatives across Canada in lending  her name to this Open Letter. How Disappointing Is That?)

Posted April 15, 2025 on Niagara At Large

Here Is The Open Letter  to Canada’s Federal Party Leaders –

To Messrs. Blanchet, Carney, Pedneault, Poilievre, Singh, and Ms. May:

We are mayors and councillors from across Canada, where we represent and serve millions of residents of all political backgrounds.

Like so many of you, we are already feeling the effects of U.S. trade attacks in our communities through lost jobs, uncertainty for businesses, and increased costs of daily living.

Increasingly, we are also guiding our communities through another kind of crisis: recurring wildfires, floods, storms and deadly climate events. We believe this is the moment for Canada to fight back, by investing in national projects that will connect and protect our country from the dual threats of tariffs and climate change. 

Leading through a climate emergency changes you. You can’t witness elderly neighbours overheating in low-income apartments during a heat wave, and not recognize the critical role of well-insulated, affordable housing.

You can’t comfort people who have lost everything in floods and fires, and not wonder how we will afford to rebuild. You can’t watch your kids and loved ones choke on toxic wildfire smoke without knowing the time to act boldly on climate change is right now – because later is too late.

Over the past decade, we’ve watched wildfires rip through nearly every part of our country. Just like you, we were stunned when Lytton disappeared off the map. Then parts of Halifax went up in flames. Last year, wildfires engulfed the iconic and beloved Jasper.

What’s next? Who’s next?

We can’t keep watching our homes, towns and forests burn to a crisp, and pretend the status quo is working or safe. We can’t adapt our way out of this problem. 

It is time for us to get to work. We are proposing five bold and achievable ideas the next federal government can implement as soon as it is elected, to tariff-proof our economy and create a jobs boom in every community:

• create a national East-West-North clean electric grid, delivering affordable energy to urban, rural and Indigenous communities across the country;
• build a national high-speed rail network, and extend it with locally-made electric buses to reach every community in this country;
• build at least two million non-market, energy-efficient homes, creating more affordable, transit-linked communities; make our homes and buildings warmer in winter, cooler in summer with retrofits and heat pump installations across the country, that will cut energy bills and pollution;
• and fund a national resilience, response and recovery strategy so our communities can prepare for the climate disasters we know are coming, respond when they hit, and rebuild afterwards.

These projects would create hundreds of thousands of good local jobs in cities, rural and Indigenous communities, using Canadian steel, aluminum and lumber. They would bolster our economy and make daily life safer and more affordable for all of us. We can afford to pay for them now: by redirecting billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies, and strengthening the polluter pays principle, for example.  

This is the kind of action that this moment calls for. 

That is why it has been so disappointing to hear voices following Donald Trump’s lead and using this crisis to revive long-dead and unpopular pipeline projects. Let’s be honest: new pipelines require massive public handouts, trample on Indigenous sovereignty, and mean more climate disasters hitting our cities and towns in years to come.

As local leaders, we know that whatever their political backgrounds, our constituents are worried about the same things: good jobs; a safe and affordable place to live; and confidence that their leaders have a plan for the next crisis we face, whether a climate disaster – or an economic sucker punch from our closest ally.

We are facing a growing climate threat, and an attack on our economic sovereignty.

We can and must take them both on at once. This federal election, let’s put our elbows up for climate action, and commit to truly national projects to protect and connect our country.

A Footnote – Herb Sawatzky, the leading member of 50by30Niagara, a Niagara-wide citizens group advocating for more action from our municipal representatives on the climate crisis, has, in his words, “sent an email to every councillor and mayor in Niagara asking them to add their names to that letter. So far I’ve heard back from one regional councillor, Haley Bateman, who signed on immediately. I’ve also heard from two municipal Environmental Advisory Committee members who have passed it on to their respective committees (thanks to Niagara Falls and Port Colborne).”

He is urging residents across Niagara to contact the mayor and councillors in our municipality and urge them to sign the letter.

Let’s contact Niagara Regional Chair Jim Bradley and members of Niagara’s Regional Council and urge them to sign this letter too.

(In any email you may sent to your muncipal representatives, include this link – https://elbowsupforclimate.ca/ – so that they have the text of the Open Letter and the list of municipal representives across Canada who have already lent their name to it.)

Green Party of Canada Presents Its Climate Plan 7:01 AM (12 hours ago)

“We would bring in legally binding emissions reductions, setting Canada on a path to zero emissions by 2050.”

A Federal Election Message from Canada’s Green Party

Posted April 15^th, 2025 on Niagara At Large

A Brief Foreword by Doug Draper at Niagara At Large  – Unfortunately, there is probably about as much chance of the Green Party winning more than a handful of seats, if that, than there is that climate change will emerge as a key issue in this federal election. But good for the Green Party for putting a climate plan foreword, which is why I am pleased to post it here.

Now here is the Green Party’s Message on what should certainly be a big issue in this election –

For Canadian voters who care about climate action and want to be represented by leaders who take their responsibility to protect our planet seriously, the Green Party has the strongest policies.

This April 15^th in Montreal, co-leader Jonathan Pedneault presented the Green Party’s 2025 plan for climate action. You can watch that press conference on CPAC:

[Watch Here](https://www.greenparty.ca/en/civicrm/mailing/url/?u=389861&qid=169384012)

Through a national grid we would deliver 100 per cent renewable electricity to the country by 2035. New fossil fuel infrastructure would be halted, subsidies eliminated, and we would aim for a full phaseout of fossil fuel production and exports by 2045.

And we would bring in legally binding emissions reductions, setting Canada on a path to zero emissions by 2050.

We know Canada must meet the climate crisis with unflinching resolve and unwavering leadership.

Our plan is detailed, forward-thinking, and scientifically sound. We are excited to share that it will be unveiled in full on Wednesday morning as part of our full electoral platform release!

This is an important week in the campaign. Thank you for supporting your local candidate, sharing our Green message, and contributing in the ways you can!

• In solidarity, The Green Party of Canada

A Heartfelt Message To Canadians From A High-Profile U.S. Senator 14 Apr 3:45 PM (yesterday, 3:45 pm)

A Video Message from California Senator Adam Schiff with a brief Foreword from Doug Draper

Posted April 14^th, 2025 on Niagara At Large

Even as we Canadians – quite rightfully, in my view – continue to answer Trump’s threats to our country by boycotting Made In The U.S.A products and by zeroing out any and all plans to visit that country for the foreseeable future, it is important to remember something an American friend keeps telling me.

“Doug,” she said, “please don’t forget that there are a lot of us down here who are completely opposed to what Trump is doing.”

We have seen some of that lately with Americans holding up Canadian flags as they rally against Trump on their side of the border.

And now, there is this very kind video, produced by a U.S. Democratic Senator for California, Adam Schiff, that is a message to us that in his view, and many others, Canadians are still considered good friends.

Schiff, as at least some of you may know, played a key role as a Congressman in getting to the bottom of the corruption and law-breaking when it came to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine during his first term as president, and in revealing the leadership role Trump played in the January 6^th, 2021 assault on the U.S, Capitol building with an aim to overturning the results of the November, 2020 presidential election that saw Trump lose to Joe Biden.

Now here is that video message from Senator Schiff to Canadians that might make us all feel just a little bit better. Hear and watch it by clicking on the screen immediately below –

To read some American reaction to Senator Schiff’s video, click on – Senator Adam Schiff sends beautiful message to Canadians : r/OptimistsUnite

A Final Word from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large – Even following Senator Schiff’s kind words, I think that even he would understand why we Canadians must continue standing together for our country and against Trump’s threats by buying as much Canadian products as we can and by boycotting the U.S.A. Indeed, Senator Schiff was recently quoted saying of the growing mess in America; “We may all be moving to Canada soon.”

One one last note, I agree with some of our political leaders here in Canada that we should strongly consider opening our doors to the best and the brightest in the United States, world-class experts in cancer research, technology and other fields, that Trump and his gang are now kicking to the curb. What a contribution they could make up here.
