Canada's Wildfires Are Destroying Homes, Burning Wildlife Habitat, and Making U.S. Air Toxic

Wildfire season in Canada is off to its worst start in history -- 437 active fires as of the time of this writing*, and over half of those are out of control. The blazes, smoke, and destruction are affecting millions of people in Canada and beyond. Canadians are being forced to flee their homes. Defenseless wild animals are burning alive. And millions of people in the U.S. are choking on toxic air that traveled down from the fires.

It is becoming incredibly clear that this will be Canada's worst wildfire season in history. Yet the nation's budget still supports the oil and gas industry, one of the main contributors to climate chaos like these fires!

Sign now to demand Justin Trudeau's government stand up to the oil and gas industry and end fossil fuel subsidies!

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is claiming to support affected communities, the Canadian federal government is still subsidizing the oil and gas industry, which literally causes greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet and making wildfires worse. Provinces like Quebec and Nova Scotia "experienced record heat" this year, laying the groundwork for the fires that are currently ravaging the lands and homes there.

If Canadian leaders are actually committed to protecting people from this devastation, they'll finally end fossil fuel subsidies for good! If Justin Trudeau actually wants to prevent fires like this, he must commit to ending corporate welfare to toxic polluting industries.

The future of Canadian forests is at stake. The future of the world population's health is at stake. The future of countless animal species is at stake. This is our only planet, and government support of fossil fuels is killing it.

Sign the petition now to tell the Canadian government: end fossil fuel subsidies now!
