ACTION ALERT: Demand a fair and democratic lawmaking process! Send our Governor General a letter

In a surprise move, Conservative senators voted down the Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C-311) – Canada's only hope for meaningful climate change legislation.

Apparently they don't believe the majority of Canadians want action on climate change. They act like only a handful of 'crazies' and a few Members of Parliament are concerned.

Write to our Governor General David Johnston now! Let him know that we DO care and that our legislation should reflect majority opinion! http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5654/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4786

How Bill C-311 was handled highlights our need for a functioning democracy. Bill C-311 was developed over five years and would have required that federal climate change policy and emissions targets be based on credible science. The bill previously won the support of the majority of members of Parliament and was championed in a petition signed by more than 150,000 Canadians. Still, unelected senators put an end to this legislation. Does that seem democratic?

Contact our Governor General and let him know that this violation of the democratic process is unacceptable! http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5654/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4786

We must keep demanding action on climate change!
