Too many Canadians are blaming the carbon tax for their financial pain, jeopardizing a climate policy most of us initially supported. What’s at stake isn’t just the price of gas — or the next election. The Axe the Tax campaign risks mortgaging our kids' future. How can we stand up for the principle that all families teach their children: when you make a mess, clean it up? On November 19, Gen Squeeze Founder Dr. Paul Kershaw and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment President Dr. Melissa Lem lead a discussion about how and why we must protect this keystone policy, joined by Grace Schaan, a Research Subject-Matter Expert with the Canadian Climate Policy Partnership (C2P2). We also explained how you can get involved in our new Pollution Pricing Posse.
