Dear Editor:
As a Canadian senior, I’m casting my ballot for all the young kids who are too young to vote in this election.
While the top issues grabbing headlines are Trump’s reckless tariffs, the crises of housing, health and affordability facing so many Canadians, let’s not forget the other crisis that surpasses them all: climate change.
Unless the new government we elect acts fast and fearlessly to reduce fossil fuel pollution and prepare Canada for escalating environmental emergencies, the future for our kids – and theirs – will be beyond bleak; it will be untenable.
Let’s vote to protect what we love most. Later will be too late.
Liz Armstrong,
Erin
