Federal Election Climate Platforms by Connie Heppner-Mueller

September 20, election day, is right around the corner. I often find it overwhelming to educate myself

about the platforms of the different parties so I decided to help y’all out. I have sifted through these

platforms to provide you with a quick reference guide about where each party stands on the topics of

emissions, jobs, transportation and housing. To learn more please visit each party’s website.

The PPC and the CHP were not included in the above chart because neither party has a comprehensive

climate plan. The People’s Party of Canada claims that “There is however no scientific consensus on the

theory that CO2 produced by human activity is causing dangerous global warming today or will in the

future.” https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/platform The Christian Heritage Party believes that “CO2

is a natural beneficial gas, not a pollutant; CO2 as the cause of climate change is an unproven theory.”

One of the most important actions we can take to protect the environment is to elect officials that will do

so. On September 20 make sure to take a few minutes to vote for the future you want for yourself and for

future generations.

Altona CAN! Apply the Golden Rule During a Pandemic

The other day, someone who falls into the high-risk category for COVID 19 was picking up some items at the Farmer’s Market. Because of her own risk factors, but also because she has family members who are high-risk, she wore a mask as is currently advised by public health. She was confronted by someone who argued that COVID-19 was “blown out of proportion” and that “a true person of faith wouldn’t live in fear and wear a mask.” I am disturbed by this behaviour on two accounts. First, the person who confronted the mask wearing individual is someone who works with vulnerable people, and comments about her beliefs about COVID-19 being blown out of proportion suggest to me that she likely wouldn’t be someone who would take the necessary precautions (at least not outside of her working environment). Case in point: her comments were not stated from a respectful distance of 2 meters. Rather,...

Environment, Energy and Economies - A Canadian Primer: GREEN HOUSE GASES (GHG) AND OIL COMPANIES Ray Hamm

The production and use of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases. GHG are a small number of chemicals which reduce the amount of heat the earth reflects back into space. When too much GHG gets into the atmosphere, it begins to make a difference. GHG make the earth warmer, like a greenhouse. Carbon, carbon dioxide, is the main factor in all this. China produces 26% of global GHG. The US is at 15% Canada produces 2% of the total. Per capita, GHG emissions are quite different. China is #12. Canada and the US are in the top five in per capita GHG emissions. Coal continues to be “dirtier” than oil and natural gas. Tar sands oil is “dirtier” than regular oil - environmentally and economically more expensive. New technologies are improving some of the environmental impact. Fossil fuel companies are among the top carbon dioxide emitters in the world. Twenty corporations are responsible for more than a third of total global emissions since 1965. (These lists are based on produc...

Environment, Energy and Economies - A Canadian Primer: OCEANS - Ray Hamm

A large portion of the heat of the earth is stored in the oceans. Oceans cover 70% of our world. Imagine warming such a huge bathtub of water. The new, extra heat is reducing the ice in our world - land ice in Greenland and Antarctica, glaciers, sea ice in the polar regions. The rate of loss of ice in Antarctica has tripled in the last 10 years. Sea levels rose eight inches in the last century. The rate of sea level rise is now double what it was in the last century. The oceans are the foundation of our climate patterns. Near or far, our lives depend on healthy oceans. Oceans produce half of the oxygen in our world. The oceans are like a flywheel that keeps the motor running. Oceans are the primary source of food for millions in the world. The carbon dioxide content of the oceans is changing, the temperature of the oceans is changing. Marine life in the oceans is being affected. Changes in the ocean also increase the frequency and the intensity of more extreme weather syste...
