Federal leaders must stand with the majority of people in Canada

A strong majority of people across Canada support taxing Big Oil’s record profits.

The signal is clear. People are outraged that oil and gas companies continue to rake in obscene profits as regular people struggle to make ends meet.

This is criminal. Big Oil is hoarding billions while our energy bills skyrocket and the climate crisis they created threatens our health, homes, and communities. Our leaders can make life better and more affordable now.

Tell them to listen to the majority of Canadians and tax Big Oil to fund climate action that works for people and the planet.

Dear [recipient name will go here],

The results are in: the majority of Canadians support a windfall profits tax on the fossil fuel industry.

A recent poll conducted by Leger has confirmed that there is popular support for federal government action to tax the oil and gas industry's excessive profits. You can read more about the survey results here: https://350.org/leger-poll

It’s criminal that these companies keep raking in record profits while the rest of us struggle. Big Oil is hoarding billions while our energy bills skyrocket and the climate crisis they created threatens our health, homes, and communities.

You can make life better and more affordable now by taxing Big Oil to fund action that protects the climate while improving life for regular people.

That’s why I am calling on you to include a windfall profits tax in the upcoming federal budget on April 16th. We must make polluters pay to fund immediate action on climate and affordability.

Sincerely,

Cher [nom du/de la destinataire sera insérée ici],

Les résultats sont là : une majorité des Canadien.ne.s est favorable à une taxe sur les bénéfices exceptionnels des compagnies pétrolières et gazières, dont les profits sont historiquement élevés.

Un récent sondage Léger a confirmé qu’il existe un soutien populaire à l’égard d’une mesure du gouvernement fédéral visant à taxer les profits excessifs de l'industrie pétrolière et gazière. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur les résultats de l'enquête ici : https://350.org/leger-poll

Il est criminel que les compagnies pétrolières et gazières engrangent des bénéfices exceptionnels, alors que le reste de la population est en difficulté. Les grandes compagnies pétrolières amassent des milliards alors que nos factures d'énergie explosent et que la crise climatique qu'elles ont créée menace notre santé, nos maisons et nos communautés.

Vous pouvez rendre la vie meilleure et plus abordable dès maintenant en taxant les grandes compagnies pétrolières pour financer des actions qui protègent le climat tout en améliorant la vie des gens ordinaires.

C'est pourquoi je vous demande d'inclure une taxe sur les bénéfices exceptionnels dans le prochain budget fédéral du 16 avril. Si vous faites payer aux pollueurs leur juste part, nous pourrons financer l’action climatique audacieuse que nous exigeons aujourd’hui.
