“Canada spends tens of billions of dollars every year, close to $100 billion on its automobiles,” Jay said, “so I think for a fraction of that we could be creating a comprehensive, highly accessible system of transportation that could meet the needs of 90 per cent of people, and do it at a much lower cost by collectivizing it.”https://thelinknewspaper.ca/article/climate-activists-demand-free-expanded-public-transit-system
Faites d'la place à la gratuité / les hausses, les hausses, ça doit baisser ! (Make some space for free public transit / fare hikes and fees, we can hardly stand it) #loosetranslation #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/4iwL4hvfEx— Courage (@Courage_CA) November 27, 2019
Individual action, yes, but we need wholesale system change — to end fossil fuel extraction, to transition to 100% renewable energry, mass free public transit, to give the land back to Indigenous peoples, to challenge overt and systemic racism. Individual actions aren’t enough.

Après avoir marché, qu’est-ce qui vient ensuite? (English below)
Les transports et le logement sont deux des plus importantes sources d’émissions climatiques au Québec. Ensemble, ils génèrent près de 50% de la pollution au CO2 au Québec.
Un mouvement en pleine croissance œuvre pour que la transition climatique soit bénéfique pour tous. Un «new deal vert» taxerait les très riches et les entreprises et renforcerait nos communautés avec la gratuité des transports en commun et des logements sociaux durables.
Le 6 octobre, nous tiendrons une assemblée publique qui rassemblera les gens pour discuter de la façon de créer un mouvement pour faire exactement cela. Rejoignez-nous!

After we march, what comes next? Two of the biggest sources of climate emissions in Quebec are transportation and housing. Together, they create almost 50% of Quebec’s CO2 pollution.
A growing movement is working to make the climate transition one that benefits everyone. A “green new deal” would tax the ultra-rich and corporations and make our communities stronger with free public transportation and social housing.
On Oct 6, we’re holding a public assembly that will bring people together to talk about how to build a movement to do just that. Join us!
It may take more than 2,800 years to clean up some of the decommissioned oil and gas wells currently dotting Alberta’s landscape, a senior regulatory official warned in a recent presentation made privately to the industry.
Cheaper, cleaner, more convenient transit.Changing the way we get around by moving to 100% electric transit and free public transit, investing in high speed rail, and bringing back critical rural and northern transit routes.
Dieppe will offer youth free public transit service for 12 months starting in July.
Residents of the city 17 years old or younger can register for a pass they can show when boarding a Codiac Transpo bus on Dieppe routes. Bus users will still have to pay if they transfer to a Moncton or Riverview route.
Dieppe council approved the pilot project Monday evening. It will begin July 2.
