Canadians are about to vote in the country’s 44th election and this election may finally be the moment when the nation votes thinking about a green future. From coast to coast to coast in the country there will be local debates about the environment and what the candidates will do to protect their ridings. These 100 debates are back after the very successful first run of the format last election. The debates are run by GreenPAC which is an organization that wants people to care about having a sustainable and healthy future.
Providing a forum for voters to make informed decisions and for candidates to clearly communicate their policy plans are key, he added.
Laurel Collins, another returning debate participant and the NDP’s environment and climate change critic, said hundreds of people attended the 2019 debate in Victoria, B.C.
“It was such an important conversation for community members to hear from candidates about this critically important issue,†said Collins. “It’s so critical that candidates hear from community members about the issues that are most important to them.â€
