Our realities have changed drastically in a matter of years; our surroundings, once free from pollution, are now choked with smoke. The smoke in our skies has become so dense, inhaling it equates to smoking ten packs of cigarettes. This is a horrifying testament to the serious health hazards we are facing due to the effects of climate change. The severity of this issue cannot be overlooked; neither can it be denied anymore.

We, as Canadians, must make it clear to our politicians that ignoring the urgency of climate change is akin to neglecting our well-being and endangering our lives. Climate change is not a distant threat, it's happening right now, affecting our health directly. Hold Danielle Smith accountable for cutting the fire budget. We have lost Jasper National Park what's next? Our budget will be gone and our province will continue to burn costing us millions more.

Scientists worldwide agree that human activities are contributing to changes in our climate. According to the Government of Canada's report, our nation's average temperature is increasing at a rate twice the global average. The harmful repercussions of this are evident and intensifying.

We demand transparency, recognition, and action from our representatives on the issue of climate change. We need everyone to step up and make changes in life and law to combat this crisis. We deserve more than inaction and denial; we deserve to live in a world that is safe and sustainable.

Please, join us in holding our politicians accountable. Urge our leaders to prioritize our lives over profits, and the health of our environment over short-sighted policies. Sign the petition now. Write your local representatives and demand change and honesty. We deserve to have smoke free skies.
