Climate change is not a distant threat for most Canadians.

26M+ people — over 60% of us — have been affected by climate-related disasters so far in 2026. Extreme heat, wildfire smoke, flooding, drought and severe storms have touched communities in every province and territory.

Climate action is about protecting people, communities and Canada's future.

Transportation is already one of the largest expenses facing Canadian households. And by repealing the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, Ottawa just locked Canadians into $53.8B in extra fuel costs. ⛽🤯

This is bad news for Canadians who want more affordable vehicle options and lower transportation costs.

“A policy that ensures automakers supply more EVs to Canada is critical to expanding consumer choice and bringing lower-cost models to Canadians,” shares our Transportation director.
