Dear Editor:
This letter is a response to a recent Pierre Poilievre TV ad.
Canada is not a jigsaw puzzle! We are a huge land mass, home to 40,000,000 people, all of whom in some way have felt the effects of climate change, whether it be exposure to drought, floods, fires, smoky air, the Arctic ice melt, or storms.
The tiny person who we see you helping to complete the puzzle must represent our children, and their children, who will need to deal with the kind of future we have left to them.
We need you to complete the big picture, beyond the stale daily wrangling in parliament, with proposed solutions to mitigate the threat of climate disasters tomorrow and in the future.
Follow the example of one of your eminent predecessors.
Show us a plan.
Arlene Callaghan,
Fergus
