Wind turbines, a favorite of climate leaders like Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who in 2023 pushed for 2,000 new turbines yearly, come with hidden costs. In the U.S., wind farms kill 1.4 million birds annually—many more than those killed by buildings—due to blade strikes, with species like golden eagles facing population declines of 10% yearly. In Europe, Germany’s 30,000 turbines kill 250,000 bats yearly, disrupting ecosystems. Moreover, turbine blades, made of fiberglass and resin, cannot be recycled; by 2030, the EU will face 50,000 tons of blade waste yearly, often landfilled or incinerated, releasing 100,000 tons of CO₂ over their lifecycle. Leaders who tout wind as “clean” ignore these impacts, revealing a hypocrisy that sacrifices biodiversity and creates new waste crises while claiming environmental virtue.

In 2024, our forests, ravaged by neglect and preventable wildfires, emitted more carbon than they sequestered—an unacceptable failure. Achieving carbon neutrality is within reach through effective forest management. Shockingly, not a single cent of the Carbon Tax was allocated to forest management.

Canada’s forests can achieve net zero by 2050 or sooner with practical steps: ban clearcutting for wasteful products like paper straws, wooden utensils, or pellets exported to England; implement strategic logging to create firebreaks; clear deadwood to reduce wildfire risks; and plant native trees to boost carbon storage. Reject carbon taxes and unproven carbon capture technologies in favor of proven, nature-based solutions that restore our forests’ health and functionality.

Invest heavily in lithium recycling technology to support a reusable economy, as lithium is critical to all tech, including batteries. Develop robust recycling infrastructure to recover and reuse lithium from used batteries, reducing waste and dependence on new mining. Promote innovation in recycling processes to maximize efficiency and sustainability, ensuring Canada leads in ethical, circular green technology production.

Recognize Canada’s vast size and abolish EV mandates, as EVs are impractical for many regions. Invest in Canadian-made mini EVs, license- and insurance-free, with a max speed of 33 km/h, equipped with heating, cooling, windows, locks, and radio. Design them for urban streets and bike lanes to pragmatically address city traffic and idling pollution. More autonomy for person, less cost, safer for all, and small eco-footprint.

The Indian Act, a colonial relic, perpetuates systemic inequities and restricts Indigenous self-determination—its abolition is long overdue. In its place, grant Indigenous communities full authority over their water resources to ensure clean, safe water for all. Hold corporate polluters accountable through rigorous legal action, forcing them to fund water infrastructure on First Nations lands, addressing decades of environmental neglect. Eliminate opaque budgets that vanish without impact, replacing them with transparent, community-led funding models. By dismantling the Indian Act, empowering Indigenous water governance, and ensuring polluters pay, Canada can uphold justice, sovereignty, and environmental responsibility.

Pledge to apply low-emissivity (low-E) window films to 1 million Canadian buildings by 2030, cutting energy loss through windows by 20-30% and reducing heating and cooling demands. Unlike costly window replacements that consume sand and emit high embodied carbon, low-E films are affordable, easy to apply, and extend existing window lifespans, conserving sand—a critical, depleting resource used in glass production. This practical retrofit boosts energy efficiency, lowers emissions, and avoids wasteful replacements, delivering genuine sustainability without greenwashing.

Canada’s forests are under threat from neglect and escalating wildfires, with 2024 seeing forests emit more carbon than they sequestered due to preventable fires—an unacceptable setback. To restore forest health and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or sooner, invest in creating 50,000 well-paying jobs focused on forest management and wildfire prevention expertise. These roles would include strategic logging to create firebreaks, clearing deadwood to reduce fire risks, planting native trees for carbon sequestration, and monitoring forest health to prevent disease and pest outbreaks. Ban clearcutting for wasteful products like paper straws, wooden utensils, or pellets shipped abroad, redirecting resources to sustainable practices. By building a skilled workforce dedicated to forest vitality and fire safety, Canada can protect its ecosystems, boost rural economies, and lead in practical, nature-based climate solutions.

Toronto, ranked North America’s slowest-moving city for cars with an average of 29 minutes to travel 10 km in 2023, exemplifies urban congestion and idling-related pollution. To address this, promote mini electric vehicles (EVs) as a pragmatic urban mobility solution. These Canadian-made, license- and insurance-free mini EVs, with a max speed of 33 km/h and equipped with heating, cooling, windows, locks, and radio, are ideal for navigating city streets and bike lanes. They reduce idling emissions—significant in Toronto, where transportation accounts for 35% of greenhouse gas emissions—by offering an efficient alternative to traditional cars for short urban trips. Unlike gas-powered vehicles, which waste up to half a gallon of fuel per hour idling, mini EVs consume minimal energy when stationary, primarily for accessories like heating. By prioritizing mini EVs in congested urban centers like Toronto, alongside policies to limit unnecessary idling (e.g., Toronto’s Idling Control By-law), Canada can reduce urban emissions, ease traffic, and promote sustainable mobility without undermining the role of four-wheeled transport in non-urban regions.

Canada’s fishing subsidies, costing taxpayers $1 billion annually, often prop up unsustainable practices like bottom trawling, which devastates marine ecosystems by destroying seafloor habitats and depleting fish stocks. Abolish these subsidies to redirect funds to conservation and sustainable fisheries. Ban bottom trawling nationwide to protect vulnerable marine areas, such as the Laurentian Channel, preserving biodiversity and ensuring long-term fish populations critical for Canada’s $7 billion seafood industry. Restore 10,000 hectares of marine habitats, including kelp forests and coral beds, by 2030 to enhance carbon sinks and fish nurseries, creating 5,000 jobs in restoration, monitoring, and eco-friendly aquaculture. By reallocating subsidy funds, these measures avoid new costs, keeping seafood prices stable. Support businesses with grants for low-impact gear and sustainable practices, maintaining profitability without raising consumer prices. This decisive approach halts destructive fishing, restores marine ecosystems, and secures jobs while safeguarding affordable seafood.

Leverage Canada’s abundant lithium resources to achieve self-sufficiency, eliminating reliance on exploitative foreign supply chains—no Congo child labor, no enriching China, and no South American water droughts. Prioritize domestic lithium extraction and processing to create Canadian jobs and meet our needs, proving we can go green ethically. Focus on sustainable mining practices to minimize environmental impact while securing a stable, ethical lithium supply for Canada’s tech and energy sectors.

Ensure Canada’s abundant natural resources, including oil and gas, benefit Canadians by securing fair market returns and creating high-paying jobs, not enriching foreign entities. End attacks on our ethical oil and gas sector, which contributed $45 billion in government revenues in 2022, by streamlining regulations and championing Canada’s low-emission fossil fuels on the global stage. Reject discriminatory policies that threaten the sector’s 181,800 direct jobs and $209 billion GDP contribution in 2023, focusing on proven efficiency improvements like methane reduction instead of unproven carbon capture. This approach guarantees affordable energy, economic prosperity, and pride in our responsibly managed resources.

Pledge to make Canada the world’s ethical plastic recycling leader by 2030, creating 20,000 jobs and generating revenue through a cooperative, jurisdiction-respecting model, supplying Canadian technologies and vetted partners, with heavy oversight to prevent fraud and enforce strict timelines. With only 9% of Canada’s plastic waste recycled, we must end landfilling and shameful exports to places like the Philippines. The federal government will create a model rewarding consumers with 10-20 cents per properly sorted plastic item (e.g., bottles, containers), based on British Columbia’s 88% container recovery success, while provinces implement tailored programs and municipalities execute collection. Feds will use economic levers to compel corporations to fund local recycling infrastructure via tax incentives, respecting provincial and municipal authority to avoid jurisdictional overreach. Promote Canadian innovations—advanced sorting systems and plastic-to-brick technologies for housing—supplying recycled plastics only to approved ethical international partners committed to transparency. Invest in domestic recycling facilities to process plastics locally, cutting emissions and foreign reliance. With rigorous oversight ensuring no fraud and strict timelines met, this all-in-together approach drives ethical revenue, eliminates export shame, and positions Canada as the global standard for sustainable plastic management.

They lose money anyways. Pledge to make all federally funded municipal electric vehicle (EV) transit systems free to ride by 2030, creating 10,000 jobs and ensuring fairness for taxpayers burdened by inequitable social services, while advancing clean energy goals. Too many social services exclude high-contributing taxpayers, particularly middle-class families who fund programs but receive minimal benefits—an unfair imbalance. Free EV transit addresses this by offering universal access to a public good, rewarding all taxpayers, especially those bearing the heaviest fiscal load. Municipal transit often runs at a loss (e.g., Toronto’s TTC 2023 deficit: $366 million), so federal funding for free EV transit ensures a right to clean, equitable mobility. Work with provinces and municipalities to implement fiscally responsible budgets, respecting jurisdictional authority, with strict oversight to prevent fraud. By compelling riders to choose free, green EV transit over gas-powered vehicles, we reduce emissions (transportation: 25% of Canada’s total) and deliver a fair, sustainable benefit to all contributors, setting a global standard for inclusive, clean transit.
