What can you do when the government won’t act on climate? Or worse, cancels green projects?
You could turn to the Constitution’s guarantee of “life, liberty and security of the person.”
That’s how seven young Ontario activists are suing the Ford Government. It’s the first such lawsuit in Canada!
“I look forward to seeing the premier in court,” plaintiff Alex Neufeldt said in a statement. “My fellow applicants and I understand that our future is at stake and we’re not backing down from this fight.”
We’ll have Alex and the group’s Ecojustice lawyer Danielle Gallant on next week!
They will be joined by environmental lawyer Dianne Saxe. Saxe is known mainly as the outspoken Environment Commissioner who lost her job when Ford cancelled this crucial watchdog position.
Taking government to court is just one way of trying to get real action on the climate crisis.
We’ll examine other similar cases. And find out how effective the legal route is!
