Climate change is a job for all of us - for all generations. We in the younger gen tend to blame older gens but they were lied to too and had to live in systems that didn’t give them much choice either. Only together can we change the systems that have led us here. #ClimateStrike

🇨🇦 cannot be a climate leader while pouring money into fossil fuels. It's time to stop funding planetary destruction and put that 💰towards solutions.
@JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault: join the alliance of countries at #COP26 pledging to phase out $$ for fossils abroad.
