How can we stand up for pollution pricing? A dumpster fire-side chat

With Special Guest Dr. Melissa Lem, President of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

Hosted by Dr. Paul Kershaw, Founder of Generation Squeeze & UBC Policy Professor

In partnership with CAPE, CCL, and PICS (Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions)

Too many Canadians are blaming the carbon tax for their financial pain, jeopardizing a climate policy most of us initially supported. What’s at stake isn’t just the price of gas – or the next election. The Axe the Tax campaign risks mortgaging our kids’ future. How do we stand up for the principle that every parent teaches their children: when you make a mess, clean it up.

Join Generation Squeeze for the launch of the Pollution Pricing Posse at their next Community Call on Tuesday, Nov. 19 @ 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET. Gen Squeeze Founder Dr. Paul Kershaw and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment President Dr. Melissa Lem will lead a discussion about how and why we must stand up for this keystone policy.

Facts alone won’t change Canadians’ minds about pollution pricing when their wallets are so squeezed. Join us to strategize about winning back their hearts.
