Three-quarters of Canadians agree that politicians betray our kids when they propose to eliminate carbon pricing, because it forces young people to pay even more dearly down the road for the messes we leave behind. Support for pollution pricing is consistent across Canada, including among voters for each major political party.

Half of Canadians support the industrial carbon price. And more than 70% want the federal government to do more to address climate change, adapt to the risks it is creating, and protect nature.

Canadians are committed to leaving a proud legacy for their kids, grandkids and future generations. They know a key part of this is making sure those who follow get to enjoy things many older folks could take for granted – like summers without smoke, winters with snow and ice, or living forests instead of charred remains. Paying for our pollution will help us get there.
