If I were Prime Minister I would make the environment the number one issue. Without clean air and healthy soil no other concerns will matter. It is time to be proactive.
BARBARA, DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA I would develop regulations and other programs to ensure we have clean air and water for our future generations. I would ensure that I left a legacy of green space, clean air, clean water, and a long list of animals living in their habitat without fear of extinction for future generations! Si j’étais premier ministre ...je commencerais par les grandes industries. Par des actions concrètes et obligatoires. Respecter l’environnement sous tous les aspects. Une loi pour ne pas vendre l’eau. Nettoyer tous les cours d’eau et être conscient des conséquences de mes décisions. Our escalating crisis in health care is directly related to lack of clean air, soil, water, and domestic and working habitats of Canadians. I would know that without clean air and clean water no one can survive. It doesn’t matter what your political colours are! I would remember that money and power is of little use to my grandchildren when they have no clean air to breathe, no clean water to drink, and little hope for humanity’s future! I would make the environment my first priority.I constantly hear people talking about health and health care. I am a healthcare professional and I know we can only keep ourselves healthy if and only if we have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and food to eat. I would stop catering to big corporations who pollute and exploit our natural resources, and use the power bestowed upon me by the electorate to enhance and restore our environment to a level whereby all Canadians could be assured of clean air, soil and water, where animals could enjoy their natural habitats, and where future generations can live on Canadian soil as it was meant to be – natural and beautiful. The environment would be the very most important item on my agenda each and every day. Without clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and wash with, places to enjoy our beautiful nature, and space to move around in there is no point in worrying about anything else! What good is the economy if our environment won’t support it in the end? Making sure we have clean air and water in the future is priceless. It should never be put on the back burner, no matter how complicated the politics get ! I would look after health by prevention. The way to do that is by cleaning up the environment. Without clean air, water, and food we will all be sick. I would take the environment seriously. There needs to be a realization and recognition that a strong economy depends on a healthy environment. A healthy environment depends upon sustainable, responsible practices brought forward through awareness and policies. Without clean air, water, and soil, how strong is your economy going to be? Environment is the number one issue! We cannot survive without water just as sure as we cannot survive without clean air. I’d amend the constitution and charter of rights and freedoms to ensure our rights to clean air, water, and land. This amendment to be supported by a free and open system for citizens to assert these rights and seek redress. I would take advantage of all the resources and technologies that exist to reform the way this country does things so that it results in clean air and water, renewable sources of energy, and protected green space and natural habitat. I would do everything within my power to ensure there will be clean air and water, healthy food, and abundant natural wilderness for my great-great-great grandchildren. I’d consider it a fundamental requirement of our government to take the very long term future into consideration on every decision. Si j’étais premier ministre je taxerais les véhicules qui polluent le plus. J’encouragerais les projet de transport en commun. Il faut encourager les formes d’énergie vert telle que les éoliennes et énergie solaire. J’arrêterais immédiatement le projet en Alberta avec les sables bitumineux. lois devraient être beaucoup plus sévère pour les compagnies qui rejettent des polluants dans l’eau ou dans l’air. Le protocole de Kyoto devrait être la priorité de tous les gouvernements, et ce partir de maintenant et pour les prochaine décennies! Il faut agir des maintenant, tout mon entourage est outrée de voir la vision de nos gouvernement ce sujet. Il s’agit de la survit de l’humanité, rien de moins!! Si j’étais premier ministre ... L’industrie et le gouvernement devrais payer 50-50 dans tous ce qui pollue l’eau l’air et la terre. Wealth is not how much money we can make and spend, but whether or not our water is clean and our food is safe to eat. I want clean air, clean water, forests, wildlife, and abundant nature for my children. I would care about all Canadians including those not yet born because they have as much right to clean air and water and a sustainable environment and economy as we do. I would re-create the clean air act, one that is actually effective and places tougher laws on industrial polluters. I would be more concerned with ensuring that my grandchildren and their grandchildren have clean water, air, and food. I would immediately protect our water and encourage our farmers to produce for local consumption. Air quality would become an issue of utmost importance because I have lived in Taiwan and know what it feels like to breath air that is so thick with contaminates that it makes you want to gag. |
