Cap The Crap | Protect People not Corporate Billionaires
AS CANADIANS, WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT QUALITY OF LIFE MATTERS.
OUR SAFETY MATTERS.
OUR FUTURE MATTERS.
FOSSIL FUEL BILLIONAIRES ARE HURTING CANADIANS FROM COAST TO COAST TO COAST.
The wealthiest companies in the world are making record profits dumping their crap into our atmosphere and triggering climate disasters that devastate our communities. While they get richer, everyday people are struggling to make ends meet.
Enough is enough.
It’s time for an emissions cap and a rapid transition to an affordable, renewable-energy powered future.
THEY PROFIT.
YOU PAY.
Canada’s oil and gas industry wants nothing more than to continue to ravage our planet for profit. Their recklessness is fueling worsening floods and fires that cost communities billions and destroy people’s lives.
If we fail to act now, our families will continue to suffer.
An emissions cap would help us avert the worst of the climate crisis.
In damages alone, the climate crisis will cost us up to
$3.1 trillion a year
The global cost of climate change damage is estimated to be between $1.7 and $3.1 trillion per year by 2050 – that’s what’s ahead if we don’t regulate reckless corporate pollution.
But with a clean energy transition, there’s a lot to gain.
700,000+ new jobs
A net-zero 2050 can deliver 700,000 more energy jobs than exist today in Canada, as well as create new opportunities retrofitting homes, building mass transit, and improving community resilience.
$98 billion in tax revenue
An emissions cap is the first step. We also need to ensure that billionaires and corporations pay their fair share. This would generate $98 billion a year to spend on affordable homes, schools, public transit, and other essential services that we all need.
Up to $900/month in your wallet
Energy efficiency retrofits, heat pumps, and electric vehicles simply make dollar sense. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels leads to up to $900 monthly savings on household bills.
