Overnight, a wildfire raged into the town of Jasper, incinerating the historic townsite and reducing hundreds of homes to charred rubble.
Research has shown that the fossil fuel industry is directly responsible for worsening forest fires in Canada. That means when communities like Jasper are forced to rebuild in the wake of wildfire, they're footing the bill for Big Oil’s mess. The news that publicly-funded firefighters are protecting an oil pipeline — while thousands of people lose their homes — is just the final straw.
Will you sign our petition calling on the federal government to implement an excess profits tax on the fossil fuel industry, and stop allowing them to profit while our communities burn?
