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.
