Premier John Horgan and George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, have issued the following statement to celebrate Earth Day 2022:

“As British Columbians, we are surrounded by a bounty of nature: majestic seas, mountains, extensive plains and plateaus, expanses of forest lands, and the lakes, rivers and streams that sustain life. “People in British Columbia are counting on us to take bold action now to protect our environment while building a cleaner, stronger, more resilient economy that works for us all. “Earth Day celebrates nature, and we are fortunate in British Columbia to live in such a beautiful place.

The theme of Earth Day 2022, Invest in Our Planet, is an important and timely call to action.

People gathered at Montreal city hall and walked towards Square Victoria in the Old Port. Many were carrying signs and shouted slogans demanding change.

One example was space travel for tourism. “We need an ecological conversion and we need this ecological conversion to not be at the expense of the poorest of the poor,” Royer said. “The youth need personalities like us to say ‘we understand what you feel, we agree with what you want and we’re beside you’,” Massé said.

Hundreds marched through the downtown core calling for an end to fossil fuels by 2030 and higher taxes on the rich to fund climate change programs.

“People need to think about that.” “We talk about saving the planet, but using fewer animal products is one thing we can do on a daily basis that would have an immediate effect,” Barbe-Minville said. Quebec has done a good job by banning all oil and gas development, Massé said. Higher taxes for the ultra-rich would also serve as a form of climate equality, said Barnea, a 17-year-old student at Collège Ste-Anne, because they have much larger carbon footprints than those who consume and travel less. Leaving from city hall, the protesters — mainly young students, with a smattering of older adults and babies in strollers — wended their way through downtown to arrive at the stock exchange.
