Friends,

This Thursday, the federal party leaders will gather in Calgary for a debate on Canada’s economy. Any conversation about the economy also needs to be a conversation about climate change and the tar sands, but with the federal leaders ignoring climate change this election, we need your help.

Politicians, journalists and tens of thousands of people will be watching the hashtag #globedebate on Thursday, and we have a plan to make sure that they all hear our message on climate. We've set up something called a "Thunderclap", an online tool that let’s us gather and deliver hundreds of tweets all at once.

A rising tide of actions has been... forcing climate change onto the election campaign trail for the last six weeks. On Thursday, as all of Canada watches this debate, we have an opportunity to take it one step further by making sure that our message is in the spotlight.

Help us deliver this message to the federal party leaders. Together, we can make sure that the press, politicians and people across Canada understand that climate action and the economy go hand in hand.

Onwards,

Cam

P.S. Make sure you’re online for the debate, which starts at 5:00pm PST/8:00 pm EST on Thursday, so you can join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtags #globedebate and #climatELXN. People on the ground in Calgary have exciting plans to mobilize for a rally that demonstrates the connection between a safe climate and the economy, and we’ll have a live feed on our website with the latest updates.
