Climate Action Muskoka (CAM) and Climate Action Parry Sound (CAPS) are calling on all federal parties and all federal candidates to deliver real action on the climate crisis by supporting a moratorium on fossil fuel expansion, including a freeze on fossil fuel projects currently under construction, and just transition legislation that leaves no one behind. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOur planet is on the ballot this year. Everyone needs to raise their voice loud enough so that the federal parties listen,\u201d says CAM\u2019s Sue McKenzie, commenting that the group wants to give citizens an opportunity to do so in their own communities of Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, and Parry Sound on September 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parry Sound-Muskoka riding towns will join 50-plus communities across Canada holding Vote Climate \u2013 Canada is STILL on Fire <\/em>climate marches on Wednesday, September 8, the day of the French all-candidates debate and the day before the English debate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the climate election,\u201d McKenzie said. \u201cIf we wait four more years, climate tipping points will have been reached and can never be turned back.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
