I realize that the federal elections are coming up soon. Tomorrow is the beginning of the debate speeches in French and in English on Thursday. The French debate will be start two hours earlier because of the hockey game. I watched the news and l realize that people are much more concerned about the economy and sovereignty than threats of climate change: wildfires, rising of ocean tides, opening of the North west passage in the North with the melting of the snow and icebergs. It concerns me that we are going backwards and autos and fossil fuels are becoming more important for jobs than our health. It seems to me that other jobs such as in trades (construction, nursing, firefighters, military, teaching, art, design, engineering, entertainment, tourism landscaping etc.) are equally important. Economics should align with green technology and ecological development. Sustainability needs to emphasize environmental values during these ever shifting times.
