Letters to the Editors



Send letters to the federal government and let us know!


Letters posted so far


CAN Canada is looking for the best letters to federal politicians on the Harper government’s plans to deal with air pollution and climate change. Send your letters to CAN at info@climateactionnetwork.ca indicating:

- The federal politician you sent your letter to
- The date you sent your letter
- Your name, city, province and telephone number

The CAN editorial staff will read your letter and if we like it we will post it to our site. If we receive several letters we really like, we will select one at the end of the month and award that person a vintage Climate Action Tour 2006 t-shirt!

Mock-up of the official vintage Climate Action Tour 2006 t-shirt.
A t-shirt like this could be yours!

Please note that by sending your letter to CAN Canada, you are agreeing that it may be posted to the Climate Action Canada web site (climateactionnetwork.ca and reseauactionclimat.ca).

Letters may be edited for reasons of space or grammer. Letters posted to the site will include name, city and province (telephone numbers will not be posted).

2006

  • December 21, 2006 - “How will you lead Canadians to practice more conservation of energy, when we have a couple of generations who have grown up with constant access to cheap energy and now rely on an extremely wasteful lifestyle?"

  • November 19, 2006 - “Unfortunately your government has done nothing to address the urgency of, as Kofi Annan put it so eloquently, 'the greatest threat to humankind now'."

  • November 19, 2006 - “Canadians are very concerned about Climate Change as the evidence of its advance is undeniable now"

  • October 27, 2006 - "I therefore urge you - no, I implore you - to focus hard in your caucus on the Canadian Government's moral responsibility to our children and to all living beings on Earth to treat Climate Change as the most serious threat our species has ever faced, and to act accordingly. It can be done without destroying our economy."
