OTTAWA – In reaction to Mark Carney being elected as the new Prime Minister of Canada, Christy Ferguson, Executive Director at Greenpeace Canada, said:
“Canadians have rejected a Trump-style agenda that sought to put billionaires before affordability, put fossil fuel interests ahead of climate protection, and scapegoat the most vulnerable people in our society. Now, it’s up to Prime Minister Carney to live up to his commitments and show Canadians that he’s ready to show real leadership on climate, nature, and justice — by standing up to Trump, building green, affordable housing, protecting biodiversity, and creating an east-west energy grid that harnesses renewable energy to power our homes, workplaces and transportation systems.”
