The CBC's journalistic standards and practices state that it’s their responsibility, in the event of a national emergency, to provide important and timely information to the people. On June 19th, Canada declared a state of climate emergency and since then, we've seen wildfires, drought, and extreme heat ravage communities across the country.

The best way for the CBC to respond to this emergency is to host a federal leaders' debate on climate change and a made-in-Canada Green New Deal.



As the CBC’s Editor in Chief and General Manager, Jennifer McGuire has the power to make this debate happen. Sign the petition to demand that the CBC's senior leadership step up and make sure we have the information we need to elect a government that will deal with the climate crisis.
